what's the arrow key exploit?

1.22 would be easier for me btw

I think the "arrow exploit" is where you change production at the begining of your turn by using the games function that zooms to a city where a production item was completed. It then lets you cycle through the cities using the "arrow" keys. This would allow a person to change production or even rush items on that turn if a situation arose. I consider it a cheat.

Rommel2D · May 21, 2004, 20:19

As BigFree mentions, the arrow keys can be used for changing production/worker allocation to respond to something like a loss of luxuries between turns. There's also something called the 'gold mine' exploit, basically the same process used to get extra commerce from your cities.

I think alot of newer players cycle through their cities this way without realizing it might be a cheat (I did at first). The blacked out map in 1.22 is actually a good reminder that production for your cities is still being calculated, so you shouldn't change any settings.

indeed, yet as E_T will not be upgrading this game will have to stay with all of the v1.15 issues - including the fact anyone can see all through the other players civs whenever they want

E_T · May 22, 2004, 13:44

Hmmm, I'm reconsidering. Give me a few more days....

1125 BC to OPD

E_T how are you going on the v1.22 issue?

BigFree · May 29, 2004, 12:57

I doubt he checks this thread that often.

O.k., I think that it's o.k. to go with 1.22

So, BF, as your the last player (and OPD agrees), go ahead and play the save with 1.22.

Sure.

E_T · June 1, 2004, 20:23

Well, I'm ready for 1.22, as soon as the next save gets to me.

BigFree · June 2, 2004, 00:50

Same here. I think we are waiting on OPD again.

OPD · June 2, 2004, 18:39

to japan using 1.22 which is the only version I now have, appologies for the delay which was due to circumstances beyond my control.

Paddy · June 3, 2004, 05:30

What's up with the other two guys Paddy? Can't they keep up?

Maybe we should buy a cane or a walker for ET.

What, isn't 6 hours (of which I was asleep for ~4 of them - sunday) turnaround not good enough for you??

E_T

From my turn sent to you on the 3rd till Paddy reports he sent to me on the 6th, there's no indication for how long either you or OPD held the turn. That's what I was refering to. I was also just sort of saying it in jest. No offense meant ET. You know I can be much more brash than that if I wanted to be offensive.

Paddy · June 7, 2004, 04:23

hahahaha

ahh it is all good

maybe they just pop out for loooonnnng smoke breaks

Paddy · June 7, 2004, 04:24
