The Solver preview requests thread

[playshogi]

I'm not sure I want to read it. There may be too many spoilers included. Unless, nothing more is revealed than could be found in the manual.

When making diplomatic deals,
- can you "trade everything for everything" (i.e. trade resources for tech, or trade an alliance for resources, etc.),
- or can you only trade items of the same kind (techs for techs, resources for resources etc. with gold thrown in the mix)?

[Solver]

Spoilers in a civ-game? Hmm, hardly.

Since the manual (and civilopedia) contain the game rules and how it works, I don't think I can really reveal anything other than that!

There is indeed no chance of me including anything else in the preview. It has been finalized last week, and it contains what it does. I am also still under a NDA, so I can't answer everything thoroughly. Some bits:

1) How many movement points does a normal worker have ?
2) What does "fast" mean WRT the Indian UU ?

The Indian UU moves faster, not works faster.

You still didn't answer the first question ( which I consider more important than the second ) .

[Solver]

Normal Workers have less movement points than the Indian ones .

[aneeshm]

A quantitative reply would be nice ( if you're allowed ) .

[Solver]

They have n moves where n is a constant positive integer number .

Seriously, me writing that preview doesn't mean I can talk about all of the details.

[aneeshm]

Is this covered in the preview ? Are there any screenshots in the preview which tell us this info ? I want it because of this strategy I had thought out for the Indians ( based on the info we had at the time ) .

You may , if you wish , answer in another way - whether or not that strategy is correct .

[Solver]

It's not covered in the preview, else I could have answered . But yes, the Fast Workers are very good for roading land quickly.

[MeaCulpa]

I am pretty sure I saw a ss where a worker had 2 movement points. But I don't know if he was Indian. Plus there is a tech that increases movement on roads by +1 I think; maybe that is the reason.

I keep checking the ss and edit later.

Edit: Nope, worker was German.

Movement on roads has nothing to do with movement points. If a unit has 1 or 2 movement points, that number stays, and the unit, of course, moves faster on a road.

[aneeshm]

I think that you don't have to reveal anything that is not known before , only confirm it - is the value of the worker's movement points given in the posted screenshot the default ( or rather , you can give your opinion on whether or not that screenshot looks like part of a mod ) ?

[Solver]

Ahh, so you found a screenshot. In that case, yes, Workers have movement of two .
