last night i was playing diety and i took a goodie hut and it said there were 6ancient artifacts out there. that is the most i have ever seen in a game. im just curious as to how many yall usually see in a game. pretty much in every game i play there are 3 or less. 6 was just insane. i got 5 of them. it was great.
have you added any dl artifact and wonders packs?
There can be anywhere between 2-6 artifacts in the game. Most of the games I have played have 4-6. It does seem like whenever there is a land based artifact, it's usually postitioned next an AI civ and not a human one.
Most of the "land-based artifacts" that I am talking about are actually on large islands where one or two civs start out, off the main continent. I don't know if I've ever seen a mainland artifact, but I wouldn't rule out the possibility. These type of artifacts are typically found really fast.
I once found seven cities in a multiplayer game in the very center of the main continent =P It was actually between my a german and a roman player so it is possible. Albeit that's the only time i've ever seen it occur and i've played since day one. xD
And 6 does indeed seem to be the max since I've never seen more. I normally don't see more then 5 in a multiplayer game though and even that rarely occurs.
the artifacts ive seen are angkor wat, seven sities of gold, knights templar, school of confucious, ark of the covenant and lost city of atlantis. so its not unlikely, i often have 5 artifacts in a game. i was playing a game of beta centauri and there was one artifact. it was atlantis. useless or what? i just ggot future tech 3 times lol
Hmm.. I haven't played Beta Centauri. But its when you start with all the techs right? In that case getting 3 future tech should be very nice. Boost your production and growth alot!!!Originally Posted by outlawtown
I played the Atollo scenario last night, and at 3400BC (just the time to make 1 warrior and do one battle) when I took the first barbs hut the game told me that there were already only 3 artifacts left. Did all AI civ build the city next to an artifact? Crazy.
No, that doesn't mean that some were taken, it just means the game started with only 3. You get a notification any time someone finds an artifact in the game.
i thought multiplayer always starts with the 5 artifacts, this isnt true?
No it's a random amount. I've started games with only 2 artifacts before and I only play MP.
Wow i did not know this, was thinking for so long on certain games hwo in the hell the other players scooped up all the artifacts, is Atlantis always one of them? (It seems I always find atlatis or at least get the message someone else does)
i always always go for atlantis. i try to get navigation as early as possible and use the free galleon to take a settler and some sort of warrior, and some sort of archer, and head off looking for atlantis and a nice place to settle a city at sea. the 3 techs are just a handy bonus to get it saves you a lot of beakers and helps to get those first bonuses.
what exactly does future tech get you? i quit rushing to find atlantis on Beta Centauri because i didnt think those techs really did anything.Hmm.. I haven't played Beta Centauri. But its when you start with all the techs right? In that case getting 3 future tech should be very nice. Boost your production and growth alot!!!
My son and I love the future tech in Beta. First time we played Beta it doubled our hammer production in our capital that had a courthouse so we picked up a ton of hammers, after that, no one could match our production (especially since we had already built a factory as well). We played as the Romans (for the 1/2 price wonders since they all start unlocked) and walked all over the other civs. The affect is random, I know it can add apples, and although I haven't experienced it personally it reasons it can add trade. Playing Beta I'm always on gold with everyone of my cities. The Monguls are also fun in Beta due to all of the Barb Huts...
i didnt want to start a new thread for this so....
Last night i was playing as the egyptians, and everytime i got a new tech all my units would update automatically. all of a sudden all my archers were suddenly riflemen then modern inf. all my warriors went to catapolts then tanks. the indians built leos workshop and after they did that, then this started happening.
Has anyone seen some of the cool artifacts in the DLC? They are the best reason to buy them IMO. You will now see stuff like Camelot and the Sphinx, fun stuff!
Most i've gotten is 4 WITHOUT downloadable content.
