Afterall, that is their function. Not that anyone uses them , wich is a pitty because it is a good concept.

Here is a valid use for a Colony:

Nice....saved you a few turns I guess.

I've found more use for colonies than for privateers or musketmen. Sometimes iron will appear in a mountain near the sea. No ther civ can build and take it, but it's outside your city borders too.

FWIW, I gave my courthouses a culture point. I can rationalize that rule of law is part of culture.

I've seen some people here give a culture point for things like factories. I think that's going a bit too far!

Once again Zachriel, I am stun by your abilities. I don't think I could ever get tired by your site.

I give the "reduce corruption" flag to granaries and barracks. This makes my usually sprawling empires more productive.

even more it shows the proper use of marines, and to think I did not know that Lt. Killer could spawn a GL.

on the game workup Zachriel.

the game has basically made overseas empires useless, except for maybe a city or two with some resources

[DrSpike]

The pursuit of resources was a key element in empire building.......but offshore empires are hard to hold on to. Besides you can do it in civ3 with the Forbidden Palace.

I remember once placing a city at the last part of the Babylonian Empire (as Germany). I have no idea why but by the modern age I had half of all the cities on that continent after that...Culture flipping of course.

pls explain

hello previous posters: Please enlighten me. I nearly never build courthouses because i see no effect. Especially for off-shore cities. I totally agree with the concept of corruption, it is VERY important for the game play, but i hate it that i get no money/science out of a 12-size city, just because she is to far away, and in these cities i never saw any effect when i build courthouses. I mean at least 2 to 5 gold i should get after building the courthouse.
So it looks like i have overseen something when so much people wrote that for them its OK like it is.....

Panag, I'm not to sure about your comment on courthouses (helping to) preventing flips.

They do make cities less prone to propaganda, I guess that's what you meant

Have a nice christmas Panag

hi ,

well they tend to stabilize to city also , in several games the same city was take over and over again , everytime a courthouse was build they stayed ( 85%) , in the other case ( 15% ) they stayed without the courthouse , ..... , so they semm to have some thing to do with it , .... it was a small size 4 city far away from any palace , with all the factors the same the above results where obtained after doing the same moves ( reload etc ) over and over again , .......

have a nice christmas day

een zalig en gelukkig kerstfeest ( there that has to be right )
