Moving my ancient cavalry past a Korean town, a resident spearman reaches out and gives me a ZOC blow as I go by. The town is size 2 and has a wall due to the Great Wall. No mention of ZOC for spearmen, walls, Great Wall, or towns in the 'Pedia. I'm playing with the Tarzan Mod, basically the AU mod with additional terrain limitations.

That's odd ...
The only thing I can think of off-hand would be that there was a fortress under the city. Don't know if that's possible.Why can't you be a non-conformist just like everybody else?

City Walls give ZOC.Comment

Since there's no mention of that in the Civilopedia, I'm guessing it's one of the dozens of items patched into the game without any documentation...?

City Walls give ZOC.The greatest delight for man is to inflict defeat on his enemies, to drive them before him, to see those dear to them with their faces bathed in tears, to bestride their horses, to crush in his arms their daughters and wives.

So there's a point to building them in cities and metropolises(i?) then?
This may be an improvement for gameplay, but it doesn't make much sense historically.

You've never seen 'Escape from New York'?

Actually, walls around big cities I've seen, I just don't see how any wall could increase military influence over the surrounding countryside. Just the opposite, I imagine.

Wow. This is why I love this site. I've never experienced the spearman zoc stab, but it obvious that changes are made in every patch without documentation. Interesting thread.Haven't been here for ages....Comment

That is news to me. Does this apply only in C3C, or other versions?"Slander, lies, character assassination--these things are a threat to every single citizen everywhere in this country. And when even one American--who has done nothing wrong--is forced by fear to shut his mind and close his mouth, then all Americans are in peril" - Harry S. Truman, Address at the Dedication of the New Washington Headquarters of the American Legion, August 14, 1951

Does the ZOC disappear when the place grows to city or metropolis size?Why can't you be a non-conformist just like everybody else?

Or conversely, does a city automatically get a ZoC since it automatically acquires walls at size 7?Originally posted by Last Conformist

My thoughts exactly. I can't really imagine a situation where I'd be moving right past a city I'm at war with.Originally posted by Dissident
