AI Civ having another civ's specialty unit

Bogopo last edited by

How is it possible for an AI civilization to gain/build another civilization's specialty unit?

Twice now I have run into this issue. On my current game, the Dutch have a Cho-Ko-Nu (the chinese specialty unit). In a prior game, the Swiss had Legion units (the Roman spec. unit).

In Gods and Kings, Militaristic City-States can sometimes grant the Unique Units of civilizations that are not in the current game as their unit gifts. Each Militaristic City-State grants a different UU, which can be found from that City-State's interaction screen.

Likely, the AI Civ in question made friends/allies with a nearby Militaristic CS, which is now granting them Cho-Ko-Nu.

Unfortunately the AIs in Civ 5 are always looking out for themselves and are unlikely to make any effort to not disrupt you. If it benefits them they're going to do it. The only things you can really trust they wont do is go to war with you if you have a Declaration of Friendship (unless of course you attack first). You can't even count on them to vote for you in the World Council unless you buy their votes. I don't have any evidence of this, but I think some of it also has to do with the AIs personality. Agressive AIs are probably more likely to break promises, while diplomatic AIs are more likely to follow through with a promise for its duration(30 turns). After that you're fair game again though. I'm fairly certian I've even caught spys in my citys from Civs I was allied with...

There should be an option in: Options -> Video -> Advanced. Advanced then leads to "Unit Size"

U symbol means attack strength against mounted units. Pikemen/Hallebardmen have a bonus against mounted units. Their attack is quite weak against foot soldiers, but they fight very well against horse units. Note that actual attack/defense values used by the game are encoded in the units.dat file and they change a little from those shown on units pictures. I can't recall the change at the moment, but you may as well ask a separate question about that.

No, it is not a game bug. The game does not allow you to puppet an enemy capital once you capture it. Since a City State has only one city, that city is considered as their capital. Hence you cannot puppet a city state, in most cases.

As mentioned already, you need a second account, as multiple commanders are not supported on a single account yet, but a recent post on the Elite Dangerous forums confirmed that they are still planned. If you do go for the "additional account" option and are going to sign in to both accounts on a single machine, I have found that it gets a bit annoying as every time you switch account on the launcher, you have to receive the verification code and type that in. There is a way round this: locate the folder that your launcher is installed in - right click the icon and select "Open file location", the folder is likely called "EDLaunch". Make a copy of this folder for the additional account, then run the "EDLaunch.exe" file within and enter the second account login details. This way, you can run each copy of the launcher individually without always having to change login details and enter the verification codes. You can make a shortcut to the second launcher EDLaunch.exe file and name it whatever you like to help identify it. One thing to note: When you update the original install of the launcher with a new version of the launcher, you'll need to delete the copy you made and then copy the new install as before. If you keep the folder name the same for the new copy, you won't need to re-enter any login details or change your shortcut. Edit: Reference to confirmation from the developers that Multiple Commanders are still on the roadmap: https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=93710&p=1455408&viewfull=1#post1455408

The Satellites technology reveals unexplored tiles. This shows city locations, terrain types, natural wonders (all remaining wonders are discovered when satellites is researched). Even with satellites, normal line of sight rules apply to view unit locations. If researching satellites does not reveal the map for you, you aren't playing the latest version and need to update your game.

Resources are spawned at the start of the game. Where you position your cities won't somehow retroactively change this. This can be proven relatively easily: Start a game Rush Iron Working Record the position of the Iron Load the initial save Build a city next to or on the Iron Research Iron Working again You'll notice the location is exactly the same. The fact that you've always noticed iron spawning outside your territory is a combination of small sample size and confirmation bias. Also as the horse resources are found only on plains, grassland, and tundra, they are more probably to be located next to your first cities, in contrast to iron, which is found on grassland, plains, desert, tundra, snow, and hills, and as such more spread out on the map and many of them not next to the prime area for cities.

In general it isn't worth it, but if you build a city with a harbor nearby, it can be done without a ridiculous expense. Since a harbor extends your trade network the same as a road would, you would then just build a road from the harbor city to the city state.

I can see several issues with your setup. First of all, there is no need for testfor here. The beauty of target selectors is that they work the same in all commands, including tp. Secondly, there must not be a space between @a and the [] (the target selector arguments) You can specify a radius with your target coordinates in order to make the detection more reliable. I am not sure which value the game assumes by default, but manually setting it to 1 can't hurt. All things considered, the command you are looking for is simply tp @a[x=1,y=34,z=70,r=1] 273 33 -5 or using 4 argument shorthand: tp @a[1,34,70,1] 273 33 -5

You cannot get those blocks in the Overworld without mods. The Ender Crystal is an entity and, for that reason, cannot be collected. It also cannot be crafted. There are some mods that let you place entities as you wish, at least on the server-side.

The formula is rather simple: 2000*n^0.5 Now, it is not so very obvious (or known) how n is calculated, however this seems to be the basic formula (it somewhat matches the curve with only a few slight deviations): (1.15 * combat strength) ^ 1.5 Mind you, this does take into account damaged units. There are additional percent modifiers for some subset of innate promotions, which weren't figured out exactly. for example the Jaguar and Mohawk warrior both start at 25% higher than their counterparts, an anti tank gun starts at 25% above it's base 222 (277), while an anti aircraft gun starts at 95% above (432). Now, there is a more accurate formula which I however didn't test yet myself, for reasons of complexity. Anyway, here you go: You have to click it to properly read it, I couldn't really have made it any bigger due to how long it is. Source

Useful King's Bounty units / unit combinations

Most powerful units I tried a great number of different units' combinations. I am now at the very end of the game, and the units I have found useful for the entire game (provided you get them early) are Inquisitors and Skeleton Archers. Inquisitors because: Cheap Resurrection Magic ranged damage (holy no less, so extra damage to undead... make great ghost killers) A bless spell that gives your hero extra rage! How could you not like that? Skeleton Archer; anyone who has used these with dragon arrow on them knows why they are useful: Dirt cheap Decent base damage considering the low leadership cost Two bonus damage specials that are both excellent They have the largest bonus from dragon arrow boost. You can make HUGE stacks of them. I'm currently running with 2000 of them. with dragon arrows cast on them, they easily can take out a stack of 15 black dragons in a single shot. No kidding. They're immune to mind spells. You can find them in graves, and almost any cemetary. Other very good units If you have the ring of "Shedominance" (you'll know it when you get it), fairy power is teh awesome. A stack of 3000 Blessed Sprites or Lake Fairies are gonna do around 25K on a crit! I'm not kidding. Sprites do more base damage, but Lake Fairies have better crit chance, and are not weak against fire, and can occasionally weaken foes, so highly recommend Lake Fairies for going up against things that use fire. Dryads are also great for similar reasons, though they do about half the damage since the stacks are less than half as big. Moreover, Dryads are also a must bring because: They can put to sleep ALL enemy units level 3 or lower that are not immune to mind spells. this just gets better and better as the game goes along. They can summon huge stacks of low level plants to act as fodder for any number do things Once you start getting access to Dragons (probably the earlier will be in the Dwarven Lands Green ones are great for sucking up mana for you. Red ones have a fantastic special attack. Bone Dragons also have a good attack, but cannot be healed or rezzed by inquisitors or you. Black ones are the toughest, but you can't cast spells like phantom, or slayer, or bless on them. So if you have to choose... I'd go with taking along both a Green and Red stack, and ignoring the others. Those are the primary units I used for most of the game. Other excellent units Shamans: Great magic attack at range, easy to get early, decent tanks, and can cast totems that work as distractions. Very very useful in the islands and dwarf areas. Evil Beholders: Fantastic magic ranged attack that can put low level enemies to sleep, plus can charm units for a turn, which is very very useful for much of the game. If you find them early... grab them! They get a bit less useful once you start facing off against higher level opponents on a regular basis, but they are great for the first half of the game at least. Horsemen: Despite what some might say, you CAN get these units on day 1 of your adventure, and they are well worth the price. Find the horse/knight tent a little ways away from where you start the game. Run past the stack guarding it to the clearing next to the tent. When the enemy army goes back to the front of the tent... CAREFULLY move along the side of the tent, until you are just level with the guide wire at the front of the tent. From there, you should be able to click on the purchase unit button without alerting the guards. When done, run back past the guards again. Having horsies early on is very very useful.. a good solid unit you can use for the entire game if you like.

I don't think you can automate it, but you can certainly create a production queue from the city screen. Tick the Show Queue box and add items one by one. You then won't be pestered until the queue is empty. Note that the "show queue" check box won't appear on the city screen if you are not currently producing anything.

Similar to Persona 4 (but amplified due to more available women), everything will go just fine until Valentine's Day. After choosing to spend time with a girl, the others will all show up the next day, beat you up, then dump you. The most extreme case of this can be seen in this video, where the player is confronted by the 8 women he ignored on Valentine's Day. This has no bearing on the plot or your Social Links in that playthrough and you'll still keep the chocolate from the girl you chose to spend time with on Valentine's Day, as mentioned by a couple people in this thread: You don't lose your max confidant items [...] You keep all Christmas and Valentines gifts you received into NG+ regardless of cheating. In fact, you actually end up with an extra (pity) chocolate from Sojiro, according to a post here: you still get chocolate from the girl you picked for Valentine's day and pity chocolate from Sojiro. Thus, if you choose to cheat, you actually receive more than if you'd stayed faithful.
