#FREECIV UNITS FULL#

The plagues are frequent enough that the law of large numbers means that nobody gets punished too much for getting a plague at an extra-unlucky time. But in any case there's been constant evolution and changes, and no two games have exactly the same rules due to constant tweaking. What do people think about them? 'That's just how the rules are.' People playing a ruleset that evolved from a hybrid of Civ2 and Civ3 are going to be naturally conservative in their outlook.

Random plagues happen by a percentage chance that grows with a city's population. Verrochio's Workshop costs 70p to build, whereas Leonardo's costs 200p, so it's not designed to be a burden to get. So it's just a hack to get a 'first-comer' bonus, and create a dilemma about gaining a bonus, but also letting your Colossus go obsolete sooner. I think it's really just to say 'Whoever gets Invention first gets 3 upgrades/turn, not just 2!'. Yeah, the Great Wonder being the 'cheap knockoff' of the Small Wonder is a bit funny. ) What do the players think about this randomness, in general? Most people react negatively to randomness so I was wondering.Īlso I find it hilarious that the crappier workshop is a Great Wonder and Leonardo's is merely a 'Small' Wonder.

(Apologies if you already explained this, I actually skipped a lot of reports because I got tired of having to expand every spoiler every time and at least half the things I am reading I don't understand. Square-Rigged Caravel: 3/2/9, 8HP (somebody thought these needed to be nerfed?) Trireme: 1/1/8, 10HP (cannot leave shallow water, CAN move onto land via river tiles) Longboat: 0/1/8, 8HP (designed to be easier to kill by Triremes, can't carry soldiers) This hit reduces the HP of the unit by whatever the 'Firepower' rating of that unit is.įight continues until one unit runs out of HP, and the survivor wins and possibly receives an experience promotion.Ĭatapults: 5/0/3, 10HP (double damage against cities)ĭiplomats: 0/0/5, 10HP (does special missions) I would also be quite interested in this question.The Attack and Defense strengths are largely copied from Civ2, but there are a few changes.Ĭombat works the same way Civ2's documentation said it behaved:Īttack and Defense strengths are compared and they give the odds of one unit or the other dealing a 'hit' in battle.

I might not even have until the end of the turn, depending on who comes online when and with what units available. Or do I treat this as an impasse with neither side desiring to attack and just sail deeper into enemy waters for the sake of exploration?Īttacking is the only decision I control, but I'll not have control over it for much longer. Or do I hope they don't have anything in the area and try to retreat? So do I roll the dice for a chance at glory? However, the enemy is alerted to my presence now, and I may very well face an enemy Square-Rig which will just straight up kill me. Here's the question: Should I attack anyways? I'm risking 65 Production (Square Rig + Warrior) to potentially kill a LOT more, depending on how much is loaded on that ship. It was a mistake to build a warship without the benefits of the Lighthouse. This means that although my ship is graced with 3 Attack-strength which can equal the 3 Defense-strength of a Veteran Caravel (2*1.5), with only 8 HP to the Caravel's 10 the chance of winning is low. Veterancy is potent sure, but that should make this a 50-50 fight, should it not?Ī quick look at the unit stats tells me that Square-Rigs were nerfed to have only 8HP instead of the standard 10HP. My Square-Rig sails to the south-west of Incan Croatia and spies prey in these waters: A Czech caravel, doubtless filled with valuables!Īnd find that my prey is too tough! Only a 31% chance of success?
