Tow infantry is a new unit in Conquests. You can change Chieftain to whatever after you have been here for 30 days and have had 30 posts.
 
a quickie:

Can you spy with diplomats in C3C v.1.22 before you get the industrial Age tech of Espionage ? I cannot remember now :blush: . Thanks.

i.e. I steal the tech Construction in the Ancient Age with a diplomat (having previously established an embassy with them). Is this possible prior to the knowledge of tech Espionage ?
 
hi there, i have a question about building wonders. Everytime when i build a wonder, it nearly gets done then it says "city can no longer work on wonder, production has been switched to ..." it is really annoying especially when a lot of sheilds are wasted. What am i doing wrong?
 
There's not a great deal you can do without Cheating and re-loading.

Best just to try and switch to another wonder (if you're lucky) or something large.

If push comes to shove, switch to Palace until another Wonder comes your way.
 
Welcome to CFC Freeryd3r !

Nothing wrong, someone else has already beaten you first to building that wonder that's why you need to switch the shield production to something else.

Read this article on Prebuilds, it'll help you out:

You should be getting a notification that the wonder you were building has been finished by someone else. The game always notifies you of wonder completion whether you know the civ or not. You can then change production of that city to something of your choice on that turn. The next turn the game will change the build to something of it's choice, usually the most expensive available improvement.
 
When a barbarian pillages a town, is there a way to know which he will do: take gold, kill a citizen, or destroy production?
 
Does anybody in the GOTM staff tell me how I can get the seed and settings for GOTM43, i really liked that map, but when I try it , it says:

You didnt think you could get away with such spoiler info,did you?

I suspect there's some calculation (for example, completely arbitrary numbers: 20g=10s=1 citizen).
 
I've noticed that the barbs pilaging take a portion of your nation's money that is calculated comparing the size of the city and the total number of your citizens empire wide.

So if a 1 pop city gets pillaged in an empire of 100 citizens they'll only take 1% of your gold. I haven't playtested it but seem to recall being pillaged for all my gold when there's only the capital without production in it.

Seems a bit similar when a city gets captured from/by a rival, you get a part of his gold depending of the city relative size...

EDIT: Tim, I don't see how this kind of calculation can be done, as if the barb sabotages your production it can represent 1 shield or 559 shields :confused:... I think it was managed by hardcoded probabilities that I've never known...
 
When a culture giving Wonder becomes obsolete, do you still get culture from it?

When you take control of an AI city with an obsolete culture giving Wonder, does it still give you culture?

And finally, (an unheard of situation but I'm curious if it could happen and if it could, "what" would happen?) ...
... If a tech is discovered that makes a Wonder obsolete, could it still be built if nobody has built it yet?

1: Yes
2: Yes, but if you're in fascism, remember you need the majority nationality.
3: I think you couldn't build a wonder that's already obsolete.
