Marketplace? how does it work?

[Dida]

I have not played Civ3 in a very long time. Now, I don't know if I remembered this right. If you have 2 luxuries in one city, let say Spice and Silk, and you have a marketplace, 3 happy faces should be generated from the luxuries, 1 from the first luxury and 2 from the 2nd.
Now, in this 1.29f game, I have 2 luxuries, Spice and Dye, and marketplace built in a city, but only 2 happy faces.
Is the marketplace not working correctly or am I wrong on that subject?

You are wrong. The way marketplaces work is this:

luxuries 1 & 2: 1 happy face ach.

3 & 4: 2 each.

5 & 6: 3 each.

7 & 8: 4 each.

Hope that clarifies things.

does 2 luxuries means 2 different luxuries or 2 total # of luxury?

Two (or the respective number of) DIFFERENT luxuries.

[GeneralTacticus]

2 different luxuries.

thanks,
Civ3 is running nicely after 1.29f, though I made some changes on my own. Such as I turned down the effect of corruption, and doubled the movement point of all naval units. But overall, the game seems to run smoothly due to the fact that path-finding algorithm has been tuned down.

Dida,

It's "home of the brave?" not "home of the brave!" It's a question, not a statement.

So, when you are singing this, you NOT SURE America IS the home of the brave???!!. OR how should I interpret this

[Inverse Icarus]

no, it's "oh say does that star spangled... brave?"

it's one big question as to the flag still being there.

gotcha

and btw: Is it??

[Inverse Icarus]

it's still waving

so marketplaces do NOT increase luxury effects? odd.

They do, Dido was just wrong as to how.

I certainly hope this last banter hasn't been an attempt by you Yanks to prove to the rest of us how superior you are. Personally, I think this forum shouldn't be a vehicle for such sentiments, and frankly I think the US still have a great deal to learn before they can consider themselves an enlightened culture. Especially with George W. Bush at the helm!

This is somewhat ambiguous, so I'll clarify. The first 2 luxuries give 1 happy face each, the next 2 give 2 each, and so on. The number of happy faces for a given number of luxuries is shown below:

Luxuries / Happy Faces:

1 / 1
2 / 2
3 / 4
4 / 6
5 / 9
6 / 12
7 / 16
8 / 20
