Empty Queues - Do they do anything?

[lago]

Whether Tanks should load is arguable. Somehow I think that was a mistake in the Units.txt file. But it says Tanks are a 'Small' land unit, and thus can ride in the choppers. I do it all the time.

Yeah, I thought tanks wouldn't load either from what I had read here. Surprise, surprise, I've got a cargo heli with 4 tanks on board as we speak... They inadvertently got picked up because they were asleep in the city that built the heli! I know settlers work too!

I played around a bit with the lines

BORDER_INT_RADIUS 4
BORDER_SQUARED_RADIUS 20

in ctp2_data\default\gamedata\const.txt

as well as the SquaredRadius setting in citysizeX.txt

This in order to test different city influence settings and discovered the following:

first off.. the border_int_radius seems to do nothing (at least not that affects gameplay, I could be wrong though, correct me if so)

The border_squared_radius is interesting, corresponding the SquaredRadius in the citysizeX.txt determines which squares belong to a city influence.

I found out the following:

---------------
---------------
-----JHGHJ-----
----IFEDEFI----
---JFCBABCFJ---
---HEB000BEH---
---GDA0x0ADG---
---HEB000BEH---
---JFCBABCFJ---
----IFEDEFI----
-----JHGHJ-----
---------------
---------------

Where x is the city.
The letters denote areas under city influence (including areas with lower letter).

Producing a little table:

SquaredRadius     Letter
0-3               0
4                 A
5-7               B
8                 C
9                 D
10-12             E
13-15             F
16                G
17                H
18-19             I
20-24             J

(Yes, I restarted the game MANY times )

You can enter larger numbers in the citysizeX.txt, but make sure the BORDER_SQUARED_RADIUS is at least as large as the largest citysize. Don't know if the game will crash but it's illogical

Btw, does anyone know why there are 6 citysize files containing the same data?

Anyway, I hope someone has any use for this!

If you think about it one of those big weirdy shaped mother****ers of helicopters was specially modified to carry 3 M1Abrams during the Desert Storm.

where'd I hear that

nothing accrues- nada- just like when a wonder is built by someone other than you- all those turns are wasted unless you stick another wonder right under the one you are trying to build. You may want to put a mayor on there are when you can use captialization it will accrue cash or int. accrues PW.
