So whats the verdict?

I used this a lot a while ago, celebrate all your city's and build a massive amount of settlers, then after building statue and going fundi build 20+ city's at once and have all produce warriors.

Then research gunpowder, certainly in 2x2x you can have 25+ city's producing a musk each turn.

Imo you should be able to do this one time but change your production after you discover gunpowder, on large land/conts map this thing is just too powerfull.

As I said earlier (in the Rah rules thread ) a one-off upgrade is fine IMO.............that's what you build leo's for. But clearly to carry on producing warriors afterwards is abusive, and only happens because the programmers forgot to make the warrior production automatically change like the phalanx would.

[War4ever]

actually i wrote that wrong..being a warror fella myself, what i meant was i didnt' think the phalanx could be build anymore only the warrior once you had gunpowder..

does this make sense now

[Ming]

I have no problem with cranking out a bunch of warriors with the anticaption of gunpowder and the magical effects of Leo.

Keeping on building warriors after gunpowder is a crock

[rah]

I'm still not convinced either way.

[Ming]

Interesting... it's rare that there is an issue that doesn't seem black and white.

[rah]

Yeah, While I agree that it's a bug and shouldn't be done, it does require some planning (a little anyway) and I don't see it happening that often, and we usually are wrapping up around gunpowder. But enough waffling. I'll say no.

[War4ever]

i say yes of course, but will go with the majority.....!

[ColdWizard]

It seems to be cause for a restart. AN exact definition is somewhat difficult. So just say. "an artic start is defined by starting on the artic with no accessibility to the main continent within 3 squares of your opening position"

[War4ever]

nice summary rah...... thats the coles notes version of it...i am sure rules can be bent if some strange scenario rears its ugly head...

[rah]

Yeah, it was tough to put into words. Some judgement will be necessary, but we are traditionally sensitive to those types of things.

Now let's get back to the warrior upgrade discussion.
I say you can complete the warriors that you have in production when leos is built but then must change the production queue when the warrior is built.

[Ming]

But rah... you usually get Gunpowder AFTER Leo's is built
