Spoiler Sample Answers from the Oracle :
twistlok: There are barbarians everywhere! How can I prevent our troops from getting hurt?
Oracle: Use line of sight and defensive bonuses to keep the barbarians away. Some forest hills give 75% defense and +1 visibility, but that's nothing compared to our capital. It has 60% defense, +4 line of sight, plus up to 3 levels of city garrison! Not to mention the terrain bonuses. So keep all troops in the capital for the ultimate in self-defense.
You owe the Oracle the secret of Hereditary Rule.
lost_civantares: Where are all the happiness resources?
Oracle: There are happiness resources all around you. Rice can be brewed to create sake. Horses can be used for many sports. Hemp is useful for more than just bowstrings. Be creative!
You owe the Oracle some rolling paper and a bowstring.
Memphus: At last, I have tricked the citizens into giving me absolue power! MUAHAHAHAHA! But how can I prevent usurpers from deposing me?
Oracle: Every Evil Overlord I've read about in books or seen in movies invariably gets overthrown and destroyed in the end. I've noticed that no matter whether they are barbarian lords, deranged wizards, mad scientists or alien invaders, they always seem to make the same basic mistakes every single time. With that in mind, allow me to present... Peter's Evil Overlord List.
You owe the Oracle a useless trinket of purely sentimental value.
DaveMcW: Will I win the 18 player pitboss game?
Oracle: If you can prevent anyone from launching a spaceship, you will win in 2050 AD.
You owe the Oracle a spy unit and 100,000
