        Not many people got this, so I guess still no one builds this Wonder! It used to cost 400 Shields; now, in its improved state, it costs 450.
        Heh, I've built it a lot, actually, and never noticed.

        So, if I had taken the quiz, I still would have gotten that wrong. In fact, I suspect I would done very poorly, because calculating all that stuff (the max tile outputs, the turn number, etc) is really not my forte.

          I think we all know you are being exceedingly modest Arrian! Take the test, go on!!!

            Yeah take it: I got 52%. Above average, but not amazing. I did do the test using nothing but my head, though;

            That made the calculations hurt a bit
            You just wasted six ... no, seven ... seconds of your life reading this sentence.

              Micromanaging used not to be your forte either, but I've seen you go wild on early-game queues on more than one occasion.

                I'm sure he would do pretty well after having read all the answers...

                      I also haven't taken the test. After reading the results, I doubt I would've gotten more than 50%, though. I would have missed almost all of the Conquests related questions, and the others also were sometimes quite difficult. E.g. I never cared about leaderheads, let alone their facial hair. I also never cared about the order of the quick menu buttons, since I'm using the keyboard for this.

                      Congratulations to the winners.

                        You MUST be crazy. But all I used was pen and paper, at least. Just for the practice.

                            I got 48%, so just barely above average. I got tripped up by a lot of the trick questions and just some dumb mistakes on my part, I think... like the 5 templars per turn, forgetting about mobilization when I got everything else in the production questions... stuff like that. Oh well.

                              Yeah I got done by the Templars per turn one too.

                              Ya boo to Dom!

                              I remembered things like Mobilisation though, so that's why I thought I would have done quite well.

                              Will have to check my score again, but I think I got about 36%

                                Question 48: It is 4000BC and you have just founded your capital city. Theoretically, what is the minimum number of turns you have to wait until it reaches size 3?

                                a. 3 or less
                                b. 4
                                c. 5
                                d. 8
                                e. 9
                                f. 10
                                g. More than 10

                                Getting this one right involves some thinking outside the box: the fastest way to grow a city is to Join Workers, and you start the game with one! So your city can be size 2 on the first turn. Then, how many turns does it take to hit size 3? Well, ideally your two Laborers are both working Wheat Flood Plains, but that only gives +6 Food per turn growth. However, as an Agricultural civ you could get that extra fpt to be at +7, thus growing in 3 turns.
                                With accelerated production on (10 food fill the box) it can be achieved pretty easily even with a non agricultural civ in 2 turns. 3 or less is nevertheless correct.
