)pixiejmcc said:Collateral damage has changed in WL. Could someone explain exactly how? Where as before each collateral damage battle was carried out in a similar way to a normal battle now, the collateral damage inflicted is standard. E.g. With catapults... an axe will always receive 0.5 (10%/hp) damage. A knight always 0.7 (7hp).
So simply put the amount of damage received goes up as strength increases however the hp lost decreases. Not well explained but i think u will understand
And whilst on the subject of catapults. If a spear attacks a stack of catapults and elephants, it will hit an elephant. If a spear attacks a stack of archers and catapults it will hit an archer. If a spear attacks a stack of catapults and warriors it hits a warrior. Is there any rule or pattern to these discrepancies? I understand they will be taken out next patch.
This is probably best answered by Guru Roland: I am really struggling with how site from coastal tiles works. I know that you can see one tile beyond a coastal tile. but it seems u can't see an ocean tile beyond a coastal tile. Is that correct?
Oh and I worked out exactly how the sentry promotion works. It is much like a city, it is as though there is a standard unit stading on each tile adjacent to the sentry unit. So, if the sentry unit stands on a flat tile in the middle of a ring of hills he will see a long way.
And finally, I asked earlier about slavery. What i really wanted to know was (and I didn't make this very clear) How does the number of turns having an unhappy face work? It seems to me that if you slave again before the 6 turns elapse you will have another unhappy face for 6 turns plus another 6 minus the number of turns since you last slaved.
For example if u slave on the very next turn, it will last for 6 + (6-1) = 11 turns.
Thank you all for your stream of knowledge in advance.

2. Unfortuntely not. At least, not without cheating. (Of course, you can always go into the WorldBuilder and remove the religion from the said city... but that's hardly any fun.

Time victory is reached only if there is no other victory. In 2050 AD game counts all civ's scores, highest one is the winner.
Well, that's a question that's kind of difficult to answer, since everybody's got different tastes and has different skills. If you beat Monarch before going MP though, I'd suggest starting no lower than that - and perhaps at Emperor. Were your multiplayer games with AI as well as humans? Remember that when playing high difficulties with other humans, they get penalised as well, while when playing high difficulties with AI they get masses of bonuses. So don't get too carried away with upping the difficulty level too quickly, that's my advice.pixiejmcc said:
Time victory: In 2050 AD, if nobody has won the game by any other method, the game will end and victory will be awarded to the player with the highest score. To avoid time victory, simply turn off the option in the "Custom Game" screen when you're setting up the game (you can only do this before you start, not once you're in the game).drag said:
(a) Those are the 3 hammers per turn you usually get, plus 2 hammers from the excess food, plus 1 hammer from the excess hammer from the previous production (which I assume was a Worker or Settler). So the city screen will show "6 hammers per turn" in production for one turn, then next turn it will go back to "3 hammers per turn". Kind of silly IMHO, but I'm not the one who made the game.drag said:
Interesting question, I would presume the answer (like in Civ3) is "no" though. After all, at the start of the game civs are alive without any cities, and don't get destroyed if they don't found on the first turn, so one would presume that if all your cities are destroyed and you still have a settler, then you will still be alive. (Although, if all your cities are gone and you're down to a lone settler, you probably haven't got much of a chance anyway.IglooDude said:

Lord Parkin said:indian, I'm not sure but I think you need to save your maps to several different places. My Documents/My Games/[Civilization IV]/Saves/Worldbuilder is one place I think, and then you also want to put it in the "PublicMaps" folder in that same area (My Documents/My Games/[Civilization IV]), and also the "Public Maps" folder inside Program Files/Firaxis Games/[Civilization IV]. I'm not sure exactly which of those three are necessary, so I just put my maps in all three folders. You should then be able to load them via "Load Scenario" inside Civilization IV.
