Why should I lie? The info is accurate , I remember 'cause I posted it 30 minutes after the end of the game. I shared it with you because it
it is really strange to have a nuke fest with no GW.

Thoth, maybe you have found the answer... All my cities had solar plants. Maybe having solar plants in 12 cities can NEGATE GW??

Didn't somebody figure out that after so many solar plants (5 or 6?) that global warming will effectively never happen?

[SilverDragon]

each solar plant takes away 1/2 of a pollution square from global warming i think.

Smokey
I have neither built nor seen a nuke on my screen for years, but the way you talk about them makes me LOL.
Thank you.

[Smokey tha nuke man]

sure, no problem

I just ran some tests with nukes and they do definitely cause global warming, but it might be a little slower than normal pollution. It's been awhile since I had global warming in a regular game.

I think we have already established that (courtesy of Smokey tha nuke). Does it happen slower than normal pollution? But the question is if solar plants (and if yes at which number) can actually prevent the world from ever experience global warming.

So Smokey, whens the multiplayer nuke fest going to be played?

Nuclear war is like rape- only fun for the one giving it, not taking it. I don't like nuke fests.

Morality: always endeavour to be the one who gives it. But I guess this goes for conventional warfare as well. It's the Golden Rule: Do unto others before they do unto you.

In confirmation of 1): I've personnally had a nuclear slugfest provoking GW, and it was not industrial fallout. I don't remember if I had solar plants though.

paiktis,

The 12 solar plants will indeed have an effect on global warming, but I do not know to what extent. AFAIK, 1 solar plant= -1 polluted square.

Let me be clear on this though: nuclear pollution and industrial pollution are exactly the same as far as the AI is concerned. If something odd happened, the cause lies elsewhere.

SS: Barbarians can evolve to building nukes, but only under a heavily modified modpack or scenario. Not in the standard game.

I recall reading once of a player who, just for fun, gifted a stealth fighter to the barbs.

What happened in the game is that the fighter took off but then just moved ahead until it ran out of fuel and crashed.

Which fits rather nicely with the way the guy imagined it might have gone in reality.

A group of bizarely dressed characters approach the strange looking thing; then someone says, "Wonder what happens if you press this thing here?"; followed by a loud WOOSH which leaves an even more puzzled looking barb, trying to work out how to steer with his kness while looking down at a world moving past a tad quicker than it does on horseback!.

Maybe he'd have enough time to try to figure out how he's meant to be able to shoot his bow from inside the cockpit!
