No, it's not daylight savings time in New York, that only occurs in the winter. So PH was right, it was 7:03 est.
Daylight savings time occurs during the summer months, TW. The way to check this is to watch your TV station. During the winter, the sun's rising and setting are relatively equally spaced around noon (dependent on your position within the time zone; during the summer, they're spaced around 1:00 pm.
It's interesting that a normal Civ3 chariot is just a fast warrior. The normal Civ3 archer is even weaker than a Civ2 archer (it's the equivalent of a slow horse). Neither of these units is represented in the Civ2 game.
It seems that Civ3 will have more types of ancient units, filling in some attack/defense/move gaps (which sounds good to me).
Since normal Civ3 chariot is so crummy combat-wise, I predict it will be even less expensive to build than a Civ3 horseman. (The bits of the tech tree imply that one will discover the wheel before horseback riding - lending more credence to this theory.) I bet normal Civ3 chariots will be used as cheap early explorers.
I hope the Egyptian chariot will cost as much to produce as the regular one, otherwise whats the point of it?
It's candy. Surely there are more important things the NAACP could be boycotting. If the candy were shaped like a burning cross or a black man made of regular chocolate being dragged behind a truck made of white chocolate I could understand the outrage and would share it. - Drosedars
Well, I'm a psychic "For some reason I think they might do the Egyptians next, just a wild guess."
Willie, of course they are going to make them equal cost, at least I sure hoe so.
However, it is difficult to believe that 2 times 2 does not equal 4; does that make it true? On the other hand, is it really so difficult simply to accept everything that one has been brought up on and that has gradually struck deep roots – what is considered truth in the circle of moreover, really comforts and elevates man? Is that more difficult than to strike new paths, fighting the habitual, experiencing the insecurity of independence and the frequent wavering of one’s feelings and even one’s conscience, proceeding often without any consolation, but ever with the eternal goal of the true, the beautiful, and the good? - F.N.
The Poor chariot! It gets watered down everytime a new version of Civ comes out. In Civ I, its attack value was a 4, and in Civ II it was down to a 3.
This was more realistic. I used to go on rampages in Civ I, using chariots to knock off several other civs before they could build walls.
But now a 1?! Unless you are Egypt, they won't even be worth building. In Civ II, I never build horsemen(2/1/2) because they're not worth it (always end up with some from goodie huts, though). The new chariot is even weaker than a horseman!
I can't wait for Civ IV when the chariot attack value is 0, and it can only be used for defense.
