Hi all .... hopefully I wont confuse you with this as appriciate a screenshot would explain better but some citys sheild output figures just dont add up.
Ive read through "everything you wanted to know about power plants" article in the war academy just to check Im not completely daft (at this stage anyway). I'll give you some examples below of what I mean. Ive just noticed these examples in my curent game. Sorry if I waffle on a bit.
In case it makes any difference, C3C, year 1762AD, playing France, domination, currently researching modern times techs. Own Hoover Dam.
1) City has no river near by (or water of any description, at least 10 tiles away every direction). Base shields are 20. Factory in city which then gives an extra 10, so thats now 30. No other power plant. So why have I got a total of 37 shields being produced (34 blue, 3 red).
2) Again, city has no river near by. Base shields are 32. Factory in city which gives an extra 16, so thats 48. No other power plant. So why have I got a total of 59 shields being produced (54 blue, 5 red)
Just to say I have checked n recounted the shields being produced so all numbers are correct. I am aware that bonus sheilds only apply to the blue, not the red corrupt ones.Hoover Dam bonus only applies when a river is worked within city radius. These 2 examples dont have any source of any type of water anywhere for miles (or should that be tiles?) So what am i missing? .... apart from a screenshot of course
