RAH rules V: Attack of the Ferrets

[SlowThinker]

Upgrading warriors to muskets upon discovery of gunpowder is allowed...

Do you mean with Leonardo? Or is it possible without it?

... but further production of warriors after the discovery is not allowed.

How is it doable?

[DrSpike]

There is an explanation before IIRC. A one-off upgrade upon getting Leo's is ok, but exploiting the fact that you can keep warriors in the build queue indefinitely is not.

1. You can continue to build warriors without leos, but they stay warriors

2. Just don't change your build queue.

Of course this is assuming you don't have Feud, and that doesn't seem to happen that often on our little rocks.

What is the build queue? Is it related to the Auto production in cities?

[DrSpike]

Well 'queue' is a misnomer really, since Rah just means what you are building now, but that's how its often referred to. The point is if warriors are being built and you don't have some techs like feudalism you can upgrade warriors to muskets indefinitely. Change production to something else and you cannot go back to warriors, since you have gunpowder.

[SlowThinker]

So warrior production will upgrade by Feudalism automately, but not by Gunpowder? Gunpowder will exclude Warrior from the list of possible production items only?

[DrSpike]

Well the unit in the build queue should update when you get the tech that makes it obselete. If you discover Feudalism you can no longer build warriors, because you have pikes. The same should happen when you discover Gunpowder, but it doesn't. So if you get gunpowder without feudalism you can use Leos to exploit the loophole.

[rah]

exactly.

[SlowThinker]

So with gunpowder and Leo each warrior is upgraded right after he is built?

[atawa]

No, when you get the next tech all warriors upgrade.

[SlowThinker]

:forgetful: Oh, yes.

[rah]

Shameless bump to beat the 10 day rule.

[atawa]

Whats the 10 day rule?

[DrSpike]

We all have to post here every 10 days or the world as we know it will cease to exist.

[atawa]

I thought that was the elephant?
