F3 Strong/Average/Weak

[bongo]

Do you have a link or a complete name for it? I've tried finding it earlier without much success.

(All I've got is some perl script I wrote myself. Not exactly sophisticated stuff...)

Can't believe I still have some of them memorized.

I used to hear all the time "BUILD CITY WALLS!" Of course with the Civ2 AI so clueless there was rarely a need to have troops in a city let alone build city walls...


My favorite was the way that Elvis would always say "Oh yeah. Uh-huh." after the Science guy said something geeky.

Threads like this are the reason Apolyton rocks.

Thanks, BFM.

I was looking for some info about research costs and I found a link to this thread in a thread posted by Theseus.

I just wanted to add that formula here is pretty close to what I tested for the ISDG team here at Apolyton. The only thing I would like to add is that the game looks at the relaitive defensive strengths of units on a particular turn when the computations are made. To put it simply; I found out that I can change the F3 values by simply moving a unit from a plains tile to a mountain, thereby increasing the units defensive value.

I just sort of stumbled onto it.

Actually, I was the one to first discover it, you later tested it.

That's interesting

So if you move a bunch of pikemen from plains to a fortress on a mountain you can go from weak to strong in a turn...

Depends on how big of an army you have compared to everyone else.

[bongo]

Well, if your army was 100% pikemen, and you moved all to a mounaintop fort and fortified them you would get....3*(1+1+0.5+0.25)=8.25 defense...so a vet pike would go from 2.4 to 5.2 points...an increase of about 116% More than enough *if* your enemy was barely stronger than you.

[BigFurryMonster]

Yes, that could happen.
