Great Wall vs. Sun Tzu's

[Straybow]

Drat, I don't have a save from the game I was thinking of either.

It's funny, I let my default library fill, then move them to a civback library. (like we've ever played any of those games again) I had over 500 games saved there going back quite a few years. I guess it's time to delete a few.

i never have that problem since i reinstall everything far tooo often

When I checked the capital defense bonus against barbarians I had lots of examples: the captured cities allways produced the kind of unit capturing it, archers, chariots, legions or dragoons, even when the techs were not yet available in the game.

Ok, that's two people that have examples. One more and I'll be convinced.

[War4ever]

Thanks Zenon....anyone else with an opinion, or is this going to remain a case of legendary myths...

[Ming]

It would be nice to have "proof" of this... Would be helpful in setting up non unit factories

[rah]

And to make sure that even if it's that way in SP, it's the same in MP.

[War4ever]

that is urban legend in itself i think

[Ming]

It would be nice to know whether it is an Urban Legend or not. From the sound of things... it sounds true.

[War4ever]

i was talking about there being a difference in the game from sp to mp....as far as rules go

[Zenon]

War4ever, Ming,

I should have added that this was cheat mode testing, only. On the other hand I don´t see why it shouldn´t apply in SP or MP games. Some Early Landing Games should soon give more examples as the cities are poorly defended. In fact I am waiting for that to get some nice trade routes for my SSC.

Barbs never seem to do what we want them to...

I would question whether we are confusing two possibilities: that the Barbs produce the most recent warrior unit (which is what they just happen to have captured it with, because their outbreaks upgrade with tech discoveries), or they produce what it was last making when captured (who would be producing something older anyway?). Setting up test games for this will be very difficult, as mentioned above. If anyone has saved games just before a Barb city capture it could help propagate the testing...
A new thread would help too, as this topic has gotten away from GW vs STWA...

I don't think there are any differences, I was speaking more about differences like the surprise bonus that occurs only against Human players so it appears different from SP.

The city produces what the enemy had set.
If they had gunpowder and you don't, ...still builds; assuming they were building.
