Anarchy period question

Get a bigger avatar today!

Some time ago I saw one mention another persons study of when it was best to revolt, but now I can't find neither the comment nor the study.

Anyone out there that can help ?

Not in detail, but the main factor is the size of your empire in relation to the map size. IOW the fewer towns you have the shorter the anarchy.

On a massive 250x250, that can be a lot of towns, on a std map the sooner the better.

Avatar Enlargement: We've got the solution

Well, that explains a part of it, but I remember one time where I got a 7 turn anarchy period and made a reload - next was 2, wich I bought without question

Support Apolyton buy from Amazon

If you are religious you have a shorter anarchy. If not, you should not be able to get lower than 4 turns. That said, I have gotten it in 3 turn, but there is suppose to be a 4 turn minimum.

The reload should do nothing, unless you are not using the random seed.

Whenever you pop a hut, attack another unit, send a galley into an ocean sqare etc. the outcome is decided by a random number.

Random numbers are calculated based upon a seed - usually, you use a new seed for a new random number, but if you use the same seed, you get the same random number.

There is a switch in gamesettings where you can turn this on/off. If preserve is turned on, then a reload of a save will act the same way *

When turned off, a reload will give another result - a tech from a hut instead of three angry barbarians

* Actually, the preserve seed isn't 100 % secure - if you do things in a different sequence, you get different results.

Oh, forgot this :

Enter the AD-FREE zone

okay.

I figured there must be some random stuff in the game. Yesterday i attacked a spearman (regular, in a walled town) with a veteran cavalry and lost, which doesnt happen to often.

Suffering from ads?

"When turned off, a reload will give another result - a tech from a hut instead of three angry barbarians"

That never happens to me anyway though- i play americans mostly, so i get some gold instead of that new tech - which is almost as bad really...
