Surprise attack bonus
Can someone tell me more about this please 
A link would be nice - I checked GL but couldn't find it.

IIRC the 'Combat' thread in the GL states that no such bonus exists...

If the original programmers posted here and said there was no such bonus, I still wouldn't believe it.
THERE IS ONE. But if you'd rather believe otherwise, please let me sneak attack you first every game.

I've always found it odd they took the time to put in a pop up box about a sneak attack when a sneak attack gains nothing?..I certainly don't need a pop up to tell me I'm being attacked....

Ah - this is why I posted the thread - because you mentioned such a bonus in another thread and I hadn't heard of it.Originally posted by rah

It is a one-off bonus. Once you have made the first attack there is no surprise.

the way we figured it out ....not the exact # but the bonus is about a 50% attack bonus...therefore always attack someone you have met for the first time if you can....odds are that your warrior will pound his warrior into the ground....
the only time it gets dicey is on good defensive terrainBoston Red Sox are 2004 World Series Champions!Comment

So, is it the sneak attack bonus that allows a warrior to take out a tank??

lol, no, that is just weird algorythmsBoston Red Sox are 2004 World Series Champions!Comment

I have to agree with Rah... I'm not sure the programmers could convince me that it doesnt exsist. I don't care what people have experimented with. I've seen many weird results, and would have to agree that a 50% bonus does indeed occur. I've seen warriors take out units that they shouldn't... too many times.Keep on Civin'

the golden rule, if you meet someone and you can attack on favorable terrain...do so....you will likely get a vet and their explorer will bite the dustBoston Red Sox are 2004 World Series Champions!Comment

It is bothersome that people that have tested it properly haven't found the evidence.......I am a scientist at heart; I know testing beats selective memories every time, yet in spite of this I too am convinced there is a sneak attack bonus.Comment

I have tested it and there was no such a bonus...Civ2 "Great Library Index": direct download, Apolyton attachmentComment
