Map Settings: Good Presence

Locutus · October 24, 2002, 11:34

How abundant, on a scale from 0 to 10, should the Presence of Trade Goods be? (0 = Uniform, 10 = Diverse)

centrifuge · October 24, 2002, 11:37

fairly diverse presence

Pedrunn · October 24, 2002, 11:50

10

Martin Gühmann · October 24, 2002, 11:52

Of course my personal setting 10!

10, but that's presuming we're playing on a mod with a greater than normal selection of goods.

Turambar · October 24, 2002, 13:37

10!

mapfi · October 24, 2002, 15:15

give the trade minister some options - 10!

Immortal Wombat · October 24, 2002, 16:00

9?

Depends on the mod abit. Lots of goody huts on Cradle is fools gold, on unmodded it can break a game to get some decent goodies. Hmm i vote 7... again.

This concludes the spamming for today ladies and gentlemen.

Maq: Trade goods, not goody huts...

Maquiladora · October 24, 2002, 21:21

I thought goody hut distribution was increased with increased goods percentage?

Try it

To Banana, or not to Banana: That is the question?
Whether ‘tis noble in the mind to suffer
The strawberries and fruits of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of Lemurs,

Nah.

Banana.

10, i want goods, goods and more goods! (oh, and different ones of course as well)

Gilgamensch · October 28, 2002, 03:45

5, I want to struggle

Daftpanzer · October 29, 2002, 06:43

You people want to conquer the world with your economic imperialsim you make me sick

All you want is more $$$

But we need to spend time building great wonders and works of art not caravans.

What do you ahve against $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ and ¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤ and our imperalism, what's wrong with conquering evreyone and bring the inferior tribes outr superior civilation and culture and knowledge and technology. The world will be ours, but of course these many goods just looks coooooooooooool and add something to the atmosphere.

Are you drunk Martin?

Can someone confirm to me that increasing the Goods percentage puts more goody huts on the map aswell?

In my opinion it shouldn't increase the number of goody huts, actual I never saw an effect, because I never played with a setting below 10. But actual the AI should open most of the huts, so if there are more goody huts the AI will open most of the valuable ones and leaves the Barbarian containing ones to us.

Maquiladora · October 29, 2002, 14:50

I really thought it was increased with goods %. Ive played alot of MP games with varying goods settings and have noticed "some" difference, because goody huts can have a big impact on game balance. Getting to monarchy 5 turns before someone else can spiral up throughout the rest of the game.

Actually as long as we're ready for 'em, barbarians will boost our slave population, if thats the way the government wants to go.

Let the slaves keep on coming. We need 'em, and they should just quit whining! Hmm, I'm getting carried away on political roleplaying...
