Lighthouse.

[markusf]

Today in a game with eyes i built the lighthouse.. For some reason it seemed nearly impossible to sink eyes ships with vet tirimes.

Image my shock when i finally won a battle and it said your ship is now vet after i won.. Has anyone ever seen the lighthouse build non vet ships??????????? I built 6 ships after i built light house and only 4 where vet.. The other 2 where somehow non vets in the battle zone.

Never heard of it. Sounds like the Lighthouse effects couldn't possibly have expired.

Uh Oh - looks like Eye's modified rules.txt may have struck again

Could we have an explanation please Sean?

[rah]

Never had that happen either. I doubt a rules.txt change could make it random AH. Never miss a chance to stir it up.

But I have had ships built the same turn as Lighthouse not be vets because those cities built first. Until I thought about it, I wondered too.

Ditto what rah said...

I have been surprised to see non vet ships when I had lighthouse, but then I remember that they were built BEFORE I had lighthouse...

Another option is Markusf is clutching at straws, equally delicious

The random thing is possible I suppose but would be disappointing

Excuses excuses

[SlowwHand]

It is odd, therefore providing a reason and/or excuse.

It's hard to accept a claim of "NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE" when you only had 4 vet ships. Not enough of a sample.

Who is hosting?

[Eyes_Of_Night]

I'm hosting and what markus forgets is that veteran ships have an attack of 1.5 and a defense of 1. That's only a .5 higher attack than regular triemes. And if you're trying to say I edited the rules.txt to make the effects of lighthouse expire early, that's ridiculous. This is just markus trying to find some reason for losing when he had an awesome start and even took my capital.

[markusf]

Look, i built the lighthouse at 600 some BC, i had 1 ship built before then and it got destroyed.. The ship in question that i know for an absolute fact (and i have saves) was built around 300 AD and it was non vet. I have those saves because i saved the turn before eyes built the chapel and the turn after.

[rah]

Post them for downloading. If I get a chance, I might want to look at them.

[markusf]

3 saves..

140 AD, proving i had no non vet ships in my empire.

360, non vet ship
380, non vet becomes vet.

Some one has to say it...

Maybe he bribed a barbarian ship
