Somebody was asking was "Worker Rate" was on the government screen. Workers in anarchy work slower (1/2 speed) and workers in Democracy work 50% fater.

Buildings that require resources:
Coal Plant: Coal
Coastal Fortress: Iron, Saltpeter
Factory: Iron
Mass Transit: Rubber
Nuclear Plant: Uranium
SAM Battery: Aluminum

Apollo Program: Aluminum
Iron Works: Coal and Iron in city radius
Manhattan Project: Uranium

All spaceship parts require Aluminum except for SS Fuel Cells, which require Uranium. Exterior Casing requires both Aluminum and Rubber

Andrew please tell us how trade works

Is it 1 good= 1 city....

Or is it 1 good= all the cities connected to that good


thanks partner

Saddam,

[Andrew1999]

One strategic or luxury resource is enough for your entire civlization--the rest can be traded away.

[faded glory]

Are the goods farely abundant? Or is there just barely enough for each vic on the map.

Or does it go by geophrapy regions?

[Lorizael]

So, does it say anything about the AI? Hmmm?? I wanna know about the AI!

And units stats if you could.

[Andrew1999]

I don't know, but looking at the screnshots they seem plentiful. I do know that resources are only found in certain terrain types. You can only find Rubber in forests and jungles, for example.

Thanks for the resource requirements list.

I hadn't realized that the special resources would be required for so many things. It will be practically be a game within a game and a damn interesting one at that.

I would imagine that the resources are somewhat scarce otherwise it becomes pointless. We will likely be able to adjust resource availability as well.

There's a space in the editor where you can adjust how many resources there are in the game. It's done on a per-civ basis, so if you are playing a 16-civ game there would be more of each resource than on a 3-civ map, even if the map is the same size. I think the default is one of each resource per civ but it doesn't say specifically.

City walls only provide a defense bonus of 50%, and disappear once your city reaches size 7. Size 7-12 cities have an inherent defense bonus of 50%, and cities larger than 12 have an inherent bonus of 100%.

You´re the man, Andrew!

BTW, how do the UN council and UN victory work exactly?

So after size 6 you can't build anymore city walls? Or do you just have to build new ones after that because the city is too large?

This sounds much more realistic, I never liked the idea of an ultra modern 21st Century city with City Walls.

[SerapisIV]

Do city walls give a culture bonus? (They could still be useful then for big cities)
