Return the Barb-dangered Archer home, and the other one to circle. As obiwan says- let the Horses do the rest.

Any unit has 8 directions to go. 6 units have that number factorial.

8!... that's odd. Each unit has 8 directions to go, or 9 if you count not moving. They have this choice every turn. This the number of possible moves =9 per unit per turn. Assuming we have just the two units to move (both Archers), and I play for 5-8 turns (maybe more..?) then we 9^n (n is turns) x2 (# of units).
Only between 66000 and 80 odd million combinations.
And then there's whether to fortify, or sentry, or disband.....

But will we give all path options or only the destinationpoint(and situation)?Originally posted by MrWhereItsAt

then it would be easier:
#units*(#turns*2+1)*#possible final conditions(active,sleep,fortify)
--> 2 units,5 turns would give something of 66 options
...although this might be dangerous since the SMC is one too* MrWhereItsAt is a physicist, so feel free to tell him to shut up at any time....

Well, I did say it had been a few decades. You should be impressed I even remember what a factorial is. I have a rather non-math oriented career and did not get much chance to use anything more complicated than geometry.

Physics? In my time at university it was called Natural Philosophy which didn't make it any better. I'll stick to Mathematics thank you very muchOriginally posted by CannonFodder

Single-move units should concentrate on exploring rough terrain.
Get us some horsies so we can get further afield!!

80 million combinations , and only 1 best one. Now I know why I didn't want to run for office........

Ah but the great thing with this game is that we don't need the best move - just the move the SMC thinks is best. There is plenty of leeway to throw in your own personality. The people will let you know if you are getting off track.
Hell, I had some orders from shade about troop movements, but none for the impending new Horsemen, so I made it up and did my best. No-one is complaining.
Were those the best moves possible? Likely not. Would others have done it differently if they had the job? Definitely. The point is that there is plenty of fun to be had as a Minister or President as well.
This is what I like best about the Civ2 game and why I keep coming back, despite being so heavily involved in the Civ3 ones as well - I don't need to put every move to a committee, and I have some freedom to play the game as I want to within reason and as long as I satisfy the Democratically made decisions.Comment

at the moment of my poll we had 2 archers and 1 warrior build...now we have 3 archers,4 horsemen,...Hell, I had some orders from shade about troop movements, but none for the impending new Horsemen, so I made it up and did my best. No-one is complaining.
was little hard to predict when all would happen...but our prez did a great job and he send the horsemen in the most favorred dirrections, no bad word from me
