If you are looking for another forum about Technology or or City Improvents. I made one. Just search for Most Important Technology 'or' Most Important City Improvent !!!

why are people saying that they use Leo's Workshop JUST to upgrade settlers. I think that is crazy. I dont really see much of a difference between sttlers and engineers. Engineers are better but why not use leo's to upgrade militaary. A dragoon into cavalry . so perfect. military gets sooo advanced. when i dont have leo's workshop i still have elephants when i discover cavalry.

 

[jtb]

but, belive me, i always get leo's workshop.

Why are you complaining, then? I always rush for Leo's as I can upgrade my out-dated units. Only problem is that they lose veterancy and it gets cancelled out whaen u need it most.

 

[jtb]

sometimes.

But what does 'jou' mean in 'which three wonders is jou best?'

 

[unknown_spirit]

It's irritating, when your men lose veterancy just when you've built them up. Tell me, someone, what exactly does it mean? Does a vet. have a better chance of success in any battle, or is it only important against barbs? There's nowt on the Civilopedia about it. I know it's important, but not why. Do tell...

 

[jtb]

i dont know why

i think it gains some sorta defence thing

Yeah, I have a few questions...
What exactly does vetrancy do? (I don't know either, jtb and unknown_spirit)
What exactly does fortification do?
What exactly do hit points and firepower do?
(I mean, I know generally what they are and how good they are, but is there any exact number or something?)
I am pretty sure that hit points times defence eaquals total defence, and the same with firepower and attack, but I might be wrong.
I may have asked some of these before, but here they are togather.
:mutant:

 

[jtb]

for a unit

are hit points times defence a units defence
are firepower times attack a units attack

if not... wut are hit points and firepower???

I got all my answers and more here:

It explains a lot about combat in Civ2, including everything I asked about previously.

Wow, its amazing to see this thread still going after so long!!

I've reconsidered and so now I think the absolute most valuable wonders in the game are:

1. Eiffel Tower
2. Oracle
3. Lighthouse

These are so overpowering and exciting that if I can get them, I don't even bother with any other wonders in the game! The Great Library and Statue of Liberty are close runners up!

hmmm.....

Yawn....

I'm just waking up....

Must have been having a nightmare. I dreamed that I actually built the ET, Oracle, and LH....

The nightmare deepens... evidently I even thought these wonders were worth something!

"Its a madhouse.... A MADHOUSE!!!"

Tops are (at SP Diety, long game) Michelangelos Chapel, JS Bach, and Hoover Dam, with the runner up of Leonardo's Workshop.

Better to ask this in a separate thread, but here is the short version:

1. Fortification double the defensive strength of land units within it.

2. Hit Points - the way of accounting for the "health" state of a unit. A warrior begins with HP=1. Multiply by to, and that is 10 hit points. A Cruiser has 30 HP, and a BB has 40 HP. In a battle, the game does some math magic in a fast series of "battles", and the first units whose health drops to 0 or below loses, and the human player sees it as a unit that gets killed. The more HP a unit has, the better chance it has of surviving a fight.

3. Firepower (FP) - in the game math, when a unit lands a "blow" on the other (e.g., wins the mini-battle that is occurring while you see the dust cloud of the fight), a HP is deducted from from the loser. This is done one HP at a time with most units because the FP is 1. For some units, the FP is 2. When that unit lands a blow, two HP are deducted from the health of the opponent....

I am pretty sure that hit points times defence eaquals total defence, and the same with firepower and attack, but I might be wrong.

Ummm..... in a word, no. Nice stab at it, though. Best to refer to other links for details of how combat is resolved. Exact details are quite complex.
