This guide is about 'masons' and 'architects' tech and is a JPEG file. It consists of screenshots from tests i did in the editor. Hopefully it will help those who have not understood the usefulness of those 2 techs.

I realized the importance of those 2 techs a few weeks ago when one guy countered my fast earthquake strategy on tiny map by researching those techs. Till then i had thought that earthquake could win any match on tiny map.


Download here:

btw, Rage, am i allowed to upload that there? silent

EDIT:

Instructions on how to use

1) Save image to computer and open it. View in full screen recommended.

2) Zoom in till you can see things clearly or right click on image, and then click 'zoom actual size' if you are using ACDSee.

3) Pan the image till you can see the top left corner. Look at the screenshot near the top left corner. Then follow the arrows.

The idea is just this :

One screenshot shows you how your town was before an earthquake, next screenshot shows you how it looks like after an earthquake.

One screenshot shows you how your town center is before collossus attack, the next screenshot shows you how it will look like after the collossus attack.

If there is a little picture of 'masons tech' (a hammer) next to a sceenshot, then it means that 'masons technology' has been applied to the buildings in that particular screenshot.

If you see repairers in any screenshot, then that means they have been repairing throughout the attack.

Please feel free to ask here if you don't understand something.

EDIT 2:

If you dislike it, then please tell me why, so that i may improve.

Yikes, i don't really know.
In the expert recs, i see them getting it just as their fourth resource is getting attacked - which is their town center.
I think that is the best time to get it. What do you guys think?

Earthquake won't destroy a town center with masons and architects. Saving that +15 or +20 population could be key to victory.

Those techs reduce the damage done by a % irrespective of how many collossus you attack with. Sure, you could send more collossus as your eco grows, but remember that at the same time the number of repairers also increases, not always 3 as in guide.

Damn, i just realised that it totally depends on the buildings surrounding the town center too.
Earthquake destroys a lone town center with masons and architects.

I tested in editor and observed that for Hades, if there are 7 houses in earthquake area of effect, TC just survives.
Each house contributes about 500 hp damage reduction to surviving TC. By adding a lot of houses or granaries or anything, you can make your TC virtually immune to an earthquake.
Looks like fortresses contribute only 50% of their hp towards damage reduction.

Thanks Naka and Pitlord.

Yes, even if Hades TC has more hitpoints than other civ's TC's, it will still collapse to EQ if there aren't much buildings surrounding it.
But, as Atty's TC are considered as most vulnerable, they can be destroyed even if it has 3 Manors (+Masons & Architects)
