Mass production

[delsolsi]

I've got a city producing 174 shields in the industrial age. This is by far the highest I've ever had. I'm just wondering what other people have had for really high production? I know it can go higher than what I've got because I suck and I don't have nuclear power plants yet.

[Ignorance]

This is during Golden Age, isn't it?
Still, pretty impressive.

[Space05us]

WOAH!! I've never seen that much production before, did you set that up or is it on a random map?

[campmajor!]

That is REALLY impressive!

But why are you building infantery? That is a waste of shields....

[Ignorance]

If that is not set up, that must be the best starting location I've ever seen.
I often have cities that produce over 200 shields, at the modern era.
On industrial era best cities usually are at 80-100 shields.

Yeah a pretty badly timed Golden Age as half my cities don't have anything to build except military.

It's not random and I didn't set it up. It was Marla's World Map that I downloaded from www.civ3.com .

Yeah its a huge waste but I have no improvements to build and infantry is the best military unit I have available to build.

Its Marla's World Map and this city is in the New York New Jersey area.

Why not go for wealth?

Because that would be even a bigger waste than infantry.

By the way when the golden age ended my production was 135 shields.

I had my highest on Cheftain. Not during a golden age, 200. I wasted my golden age during the first few years (blank that wonder*

Assuming a factory and iron works, total shields produced are

58 x 1.5 x 2 = 174

or

59 x 1.5 x 2 = 177

How does the game reach a total of 175?

This is what a set-up looks like... Actually it wasn't a set up, but a test game I used to try out some A/D/M alterations and new units.

[Grrr]

Nice production there. The highest I've had is 236 or so, there were 3 coal next to each other .

[miccofl]

Yeah, 863 was OK but I did get a few into the 900's with this one (got a conquest win with 43K+) but like I said, it was a test game. Five units passed muster, but a new army class unit never even showed. Maybe I should start a thread for that?

Waste.
