well we could just keep it teh way it is if no one objects....really, most people have pike or phalanxes already, you need toremember after all those beers to switch to warriors when you go for the leos upgrade so alot is riding on this one ...haha

Phalanxes don't matter since warriors don't become obsolete till pikeman.

Yes, but I assumed you wouldn't have a phalanx in the build queue at that time.

well despite peoples beliefs that i only use warriors, we both know that is not the case, later in the game i get those phalanxes in place just in case...but i do tend to have alot of warriors and attacking units more so that phalanxes

CW, please add, artic start = restart.
Unless someone objects.

hopefully he can find it amongst all the clutter

note, arctic start means no chance of hitting the mainland ...not just starting around tundra......

either top fo the mapboard or the bottom with no adjoining continent

What if the mainland can be reached 10 or 20 squares away?

well its got to be reasonable don't you think....i mean 20 turns is a long time in a civ game? your pretty much out of the top running unless you find gold, and a high production river with a whale to crank and end up with a nomad...]

so i would say if you can't reach the mainland in a 5 turns..then ...restart....

like i said, top or bottom of the mapboard...along the edges..... if it connects to a landmass ASAP then we can discuss via KC

I would have to agree that it should be reasonable.

If it takes you 20 turns to get off the edge of the board, I don't really care that it's not a "true arctic" start... it still sucks

i think the standard rule should be, if you can't get to the main land by 5 turns its a restart......

So whats the verdict?

I used this a lot a while ago, celebrate all your city's and build a massive amount of settlers, then after building statue and going fundi build 20+ city's at once and have all produce warriors.

Then research gunpowder, certainly in 2x2x you can have 25+ city's producing a musk each turn.

Imo you should be able to do this one time but change your production after you discover gunpowder, on large land/conts map this thing is just too powerfull.

As I said earlier (in the Rah rules thread ) a one-off upgrade is fine IMO.............that's what you build leo's for. But clearly to carry on producing warriors afterwards is abusive, and only happens because the programmers forgot to make the warrior production automatically change like the phalanx would.

I have no problem with cranking out a bunch of warriors with the anticaption of gunpowder and the magical effects of Leo.

Keeping on building warriors after gunpowder is a crock

Yeah, While I agree that it's a bug and shouldn't be done, it does require some planning (a little anyway) and I don't see it happening that often, and we usually are wrapping up around gunpowder. But enough waffling. I'll say no.

It seems to be cause for a restart. AN exact definition is somewhat difficult. So just say. "an artic start is defined by starting on the artic with no accessibility to the main continent within 3 squares of your opening position"

Yeah, it was tough to put into words. Some judgement will be necessary, but we are traditionally sensitive to those types of things.

Now let's get back to the warrior upgrade discussion.
I say you can complete the warriors that you have in production when leos is built but then must change the production queue when the warrior is built.
