Marketplace? how does it work?

Dida · July 27, 2002, 02:59

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 · July 27, 2002, 03:29

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 · July 27, 2002, 19:26

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

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

alva · July 27, 2002, 19:36

gotcha

and btw: Is it??

Inverse Icarus · July 27, 2002, 19:37

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

Geez, remind me not to sneeze around you lest I let slip my secret thoughts of superiority.

And anyway, Marketplaces add bonuses to happiness with luxaries? Would explain why i've got 8 luxaries and some citys are overjoyed and others just somewhat happy. Don't suppose any other things add to this effect either? Just wondering.

-Oh, and why advertise a thread in the PtW section?

vmxa1 · November 16, 2002, 15:48

I sure hope do not get as enlighted as say Europe and beget 2 more world wars. I do agree this is not the place for this stuf, so why bring in Bush?

WRONG. I just won a cultural victory with the US on Emperor. So,

VMXA it's a jealousy thing. Europe and Canada get mad when we don't elect socialists.

Ha ha... No Europeans/Canadians get mad when 61% of Americans show their apathy by sitting on their a$$es and not voting, thus allowing buffoons like Bush/Ashcroft and company to hold the rest of the non-religious, non-ultra conservative world at ransom.

Those who are ruled by the iron hand of JC should be careful at whom stones are thrown.

Well..... If you actually feel that way and you are a citizen, you should get off your butt and go vote. Otherwise, you can kiss OUR collective butt. I don't go to Canada and piss and moan when you all elect some liberal, socialist putz, so please don't come here and whine about our choices.

Have a nice day!
