Good night peoples!

I just finished a game that took me all day :D What better way to spend a sunday? Well in the replay summary screen, I noticed something very strange:

The sumerians have twice our power! Why was that? It was the beginning of the first turn, nobody had moved his settlers yet. So what happened? At first I thought they'd have an explorer and that would count towards power, but they aren't expansionists, and when I've played against expansionists, they don't look like that at the beginning. Anyone has any idea? :confused:

And while we're at it, a question about radar towers. If I build one within my territory, but next to an enemy's border, so that the 2 tiles of influence are inside their territory, will my troops recive the bonus when attacking inside their land? I hadn't used radars much before. But in this game the celts grew too powerful. While my continent was a war zone, they were building peacefuly, being nice and dancing around with their neighbors :beer: without a single war declared since the beginning. So when I finally attacked them, they threw EVERYTHING against me, which was a lot! So I had to build barricades everywhere and some radars to defend...
Now that I mention it, do terrain and barricade bonus stack? I built some barricades on flat land, but then remembered forests give better defensive bonuses, so I also planted forest on the same tile. Was I right?
 
Maybe those are actually two different civs of the same color?

Absolutely! The defense bonuses do stack.


I don't know about whether radar towers extend into enemy territory, though.
 
Could Sumeria have been placed on a goody hut that popped out a settler?
 
I bet it's Spain and Sumeria, or America and Sumeria. No miracle.

:lol: You're right! It was spain.
They were killed so fast that I totally forgot about them. Maybe if I had actually watched the replay I'd have remembered. But because there was so little going on in that game, I just skipped it. :crazyeye: It had never happened to me that two civs had the same color.
 
Its hard to prove, but I use Radar Towers for attacks in enemy territory all the time and it appears to help.
