Epic = not a scenario. The alternative being a Conquest or fan-made scenario.

Being unenlightened and a troll is kinda redundant, not?

And as he says, the "Epic" game is the basic, non-modded one.

But I am not just "any" Troll..

I am Grandpa Troll..and with that comes senility. Thats just a compounding factor in being a troll and unenlightened!

Peace

And thanks to all for the help!!

hehe, I used to have a screenie of one of my ai opponents irrigating across about 30 tiles of desert to get water to his civ. Unfortunately, I've formatted since, but I used to look at it every once in a while to remind me that I should NEVER EVER lose to the computer.

Which brings another interesting question?

Does anyone build on a mountain near water..for bonus of production?

Or does the mountains not give that in this game?

In CTP I would take a mountain tile because of the X2 bonus for the tile that your sitting on and then give great prodcution..and live on the surrounding land!

Not great for growth but excellent for production!

you can't build cities on mountains (or marshes for that matter) in normal c3c games. also, the terrain that you build on makes no difference to your food and production in your city tile (but you do get bonus commerce if you build on a resource such as gold).

The only exception to this is when your traits give you certain terrain dependent bonuses (1 extra food in city square if the city is next to fresh water during despotism and anarchy if you have agriculture, extra commerce if the city is by the coast and you have seafaring; nb. the agriculture food bonus applies to all cities if you're in any other government).

Finally, you do get defence bonuses if you build a city on a hill. I'm not sure if you get the bonus from building on other terrains (forests, jungles, etc). I don't think so, but I may be wrong.

You think right building a city on jungle/forest clears the tile, giving you flatland defence bonus only(10%?)

Lakes: if the body of water in encircled by your landmass is big enough, if acts like sea and/or ocean and can’t be irrigated.

[bongo]

It acts like the ocean if it has sea or ocean tiles. If there only are coastal tiles, it will act like fresh water no matter the size.

[Kloreep]

No, there is a certain point of size where even all coast tiles will be like an inland ocean. I don't remember the exact size; 20 tiles, maybe?

[bongo]

You sure? I believed it was the shape that was most important. Once you got more than 3 tiles across, sea/ocean would show up.
