heh... will play after work.

What I'm shocked about is the fact that I didn't get any turns from any of the games I'm in last night/yesterday.

It's a first!

Turn 11 to Agagnon.

What do you mean Gav?

Turn rate is causing Apolyton to smoke!

Turn 11 chucked across the water to FlameFlash

*turn hits FlameFlash in the head at work... supervisor looks oddly at him as he swears, mumbles, and rubs his head.*

Turn recieved, will play after work... try not to throw it so hard next time!

Difficulty setting

In a game with no AI players what does the play level setting change? (prince, king, etc.)

I think the rates of different things... discovery, pollution, city size increases... all increase... not positive though.

I didn't even know there was a prototyping cost in CtP. Is it like the (transparent) one in Alpha Centauri?

Edit: Ah, I was thinking unit prototyping cost.

[J Bytheway]

It sets (this is the complete list, including AI effects):
Size after which citizens are unhappy (not sure about this actually...),
Science handicap (but only changes by 5%),
Base score,
DIFFICULTY_BONUS - but I don't know what this does,
Human start techs,
Human science and food bonus,
AI start settlers, gold, PW, techs,
Bonuses to AI production, gold, science.

There are more things it is possible for the difficulty to change, but it doesn't.

I take it this list is comprehensive then? Did you read that from some source, like a help file, or is it catalogued in your steel trap mind?

Heh... and here I was hoping nobody would notice my original post... I'd just bounced from the Alpha Centauri forums when I wrote that...

I looked it up in DiffDB.txt, obviously
