The lurker issue lurches from one extreme to the other ...
... and finally ...
If I had have know the answer, I would have just said ...
You are correct - the box is only empty when no hammers have been invested.
... and left it at that. Let him figure how how you get builds complete turn after turn after turn.

Now, I was under the impression that this box is only empty when no hammers have been invested in a project (such as on the turn when something else had just been completed).

Whosit Wrote:Can you tell me this: Is my basic assumption incorrect? Is there another reason the production line would appear "blank" aside from no hammers being invested? That is, can hammers be invested in the city's current item, but still not show up on the Espionage screen?
Another possibility, I suppose, is that the cities have such massive overflow that nothing takes more than a turn to build, but that would be insane at this level.

I decided to watch this little by-play as a good test regarding how much mechanical support various teams are getting from lurkers. Its good to see that he finally got his mechanical question answered and also nice to see lurkers exhibiting some restraint in postulating what might be happening (even though we know full well what is happening).

I have finally decided to put down some cash and register a website. It is www.ruffhi.com. Now I remain free to move the hosting options without having to change the name of the site.
