600ad american start


and one german start, craziest thing is that Munich doesnt flip

 

[Leoreth]

Of course it doesn't flip. It's the French capital!

 

[merijn_v1]

IIRC, in the latest version, capitals CAN flip if it isn't the only city of the civ. (And it's in your flipzone ofcourse)

 

[killerkebab]

This is no longer true - if you play as Rome for example, and try to build a palace in, say, Amiens. The French will be given the city as long as it is not your only city.

One of the weirdest Carthaginian Empires I have seen:

 

[SilchasRuin]

it just meant they settled in Spain, which is in their stability zone, then lost Carthage to the Romans or more likely barbs and Hippo became their capital

I was playing Germany with 600AD start when in the endgame I saw this!

I think it is also strange that Carthage has survived into the 1800's. Take that Rome chalk one up for Carthage.

EDIT: Wait hang on you were playing on a 600 ad start. Does Carthage respawn.

Old civs like Egypt and Carthage can respawn in a 600 AD start (and do pretty frequently late-game). I think the weird thing in his screenshot was the Natives building the Moai Statues, which I don't think can normally be built in a 600 AD start.

Yup, you can build it on 600AD start, I like to build it as France in Bordeaux, to make up for the fact that it's not next to a river (and so can't build a levee), in 3000BC starts, I build Bilbao as France, not Bordeaux

Well I certainly can't find a way to build it. Are you using the latest patch etc?

ah, you are correct sir, I have a mac, so I'm stuck with 1.185, and I don't know the full extent of the changes between the two, so that could definitely be one of them

It is. I tested it with 600 AD Japan earlier to see if I was wrong, but I was right; you can't build the Moai Statues in a 600 AD start in 1.187. But I guess the natives can build it.

I don't think so, because you see no city ruins. And no improvement either. I think Carthage never existed in that game.

BTW, Hippo isn't the capital, but Barcino.

oh yes, so it is, very odd, only other explanation other than just strange carthage is that the ruins were worked, and then the cottage destroyed by barbs... but that is a bit farfetched

Wait, ruins grow into cottages?

 

[SilchasRuin]

no, as in workers built it, then it was destroyed

Wish the screenshot hadn't just come up black, but I was playing as the Dutch, and England beat me to liberalism to my great discontent, so they switched civics to HR + Free religion, and then turn 1650 hit and they became Commonwealth of England, with Theocracy
