SGOTM 13 - Unusual Suspects

[obsolete]

We fared a bit better, we only lost 2 players, including our team leader who was banned from Civfanatics

Now how exactly did that happen? I've got dozens of infractions yet never managed to get an official ban yet.

Hi All, I'm away

Spoiler :

at a boardgaming convention

Aug 3-7. So I will probably miss out on contributing to the pre-game discussion. Maybe I will be able to borrow a computer to check-in and post my cool idea about the wizard.

Xcalibrator - nice list of links. Here are some I have in my favorites:

Note: this is a short list because I can no longer access CivFanatics from work computer and I got a new home computer. I go to the tech bulbing preferences almost everygame. I don't think I've checked the others since "saving" them.

What is the overflow bug that obsolete mentions in the discussion thread?
I have a vague recollection regarding reading about it. But it isn't something that I consider when playing. It isn't knowledge at the top of my mind when playing, like e.g. barb spawning logic is.

edit: hmmn, maybe I do know the answer to my question, but I will let someone else answer and see it if i'm not as ignorant as I thought.

Short answer: overflow to wealth doesn't work.

A bit longer:

The maximum overflow is equal to the hammer cost of the current build item. The extra hammers just disappear, instead of going to wealth. This can happen if you chop/whip a warrior (or a scout) , or later on with HE so you have to do some MM to prevent it.

I'd recommend using BULL in non HoF games, it's corrected there.
