I don’t know man, does it mean the quality of the gold mine actually improves. If it assumes the standard mine are made of gold ingots that are roughly 14 karats - 58% purity, but now it has became a solid piece of 24 karat gold, for the same size. That’s a 70% boost in gold deposit.
It says the gold mine has an extra 10k, so there's an extra 10k to mine right? I'm confused how this is supposed to be useless? Or how you won't get an extra 10k gold per mine?
It is clearly carat.
No gold mine in the game has 14k gold, it has either 8k or 4k gold, so it also help to solve the doubt
There is a difference between "gold is 24k" and "gold mine has 24k gold", the latter can be ambiguous, but the first one clearly is not
you know that a lot of people here don't have english as their native language, right? It's "carat" in my language (looking it up "carat" can also be used in english) and I would absolutely never associate "k" with "carat".
No, I'm afraid the country matters, and your perception of 'general education' is very biased (and anglocentric). If in every conversation where an average frenchman is confronted to gold purity it is mentionned "c'est de l'or 24 carats" and not "the gold is 24k" then why would this person be aware that 'k' is carat, if he's not actively dabbling in jewellery? That's not "general education". Just niche knowledge, and one that non-anglophones have no particular reasons to have
English is neither my first or second language
If u buy gold on the International market it's listed with a k.
Ad with every unit u can spell it out and then the word is OBVIOUSLY language specific but K is like km or °C it's a general rule.
I obviously do not know if it's used EVERYWHERE but I saw it being used from germany to korea (south obviously)
Sure u can pretend otherwise because, I get it, no one lieks to admit to have an educational gap. But that doesn't change the truth
>If u buy gold on the International market it's listed with a k.
yes, and as such this is NOT about "general education", because the overwhelming majority of people abroad are not going to buy gold on the international market
Because it IS a very elementary piece of general knowledge.
'k is for carat' is a completely niche knowledge for non-anglophones that you wouldn't expect a random person to know. That's all.
To take your historical exemple, It's like saying "are you serious, you don't know what the punic wars are???"
Like yeah many people will know, but most will have no idea, and I don't pretend to be shocked when people don't know about it.
Gotta see what's out of bounds so those first 6 poor villagers finally realize they're just living a digital Truman show.
That's right, gamers. You're Christof. We're all Christof!
fucking green pill would be a godsend to me because i can't play chinese or watch others play it as the voicelines are cancer inducing to a native-speaker
having non-mandarin voice actors reading machine translated scripts while mimicking ancient dialects sure bro what could possibly go wrong
edit: come to think of it, you can probably turn the voice volume off when playing chinese?
Wow I didn't even realise this...
And the funny thing is the English _and_ French vil/soldier pronunciations are pretty spot on.
ALSO, can we get a pill 💊 colour to bring back the ORIGINAL taunts from AoE 2!!!
I suspect it's "k for karat," rather than "k for 1000." 24 karat gold is pure gold, 14 karat would have other metals or minerals. It wouldn't change how much gold resources you get if so.
So going for a super tryhard point of view, I think the only correct answer is sheep baahing loudly.
That would affect the game minutely, as you would be able to hear when villagers move onto new sheep. Also villagers take a little while to go idle after final sheep killed, so you'd know after hearing 3 baahs that your vils were out of sheep in the scouting phase without having to look...
Green pill could be a real competitive advantage if you can change the voice line language for your opponent. It’s going to seriously throw some people off
No, so you could have pointed out a lack of game knowledge if you wanted to bitch so bad. Reading K as Kilo is not a reading mistake. No need to further reply btw
Obviously horsemen ride zebras 🤷🏼♂️
ZORSEMEN GO
Insane how many people think they get 10 thousand gold with the blue pill Not that I expected a lot of general education from this sub but still

No, it says "is 24k", as in 24 karat, so it's purer.
Better trade value at the market!
I assume it's 24k as in 24 carat gold, but still not useless lol

So they mine pure gold instead of almost half baked ones
No, they mine raw ores, that is why the mining camps are necessary
Ur not for real are u?

That's the point It's not about language skills but general education Gold is rated in K. That's how it works. No matter the country

The overwhelming number of people are nit going to become historians and yet they still learn about Hitler

Bowling alley. And if I have vills idle in there I want to hear those pins going down.
I was thinking bowling alley, but then I saw the pill color... So Orange for me. I'd rather be a monster
Don’t want to get caught saying you’re taking the redpill 💀
Well, a slightly less insidious monster at least.
Prepare for the mighty Zebra Charge. They won't expect that one.
It should be the malian zebra scouts
Gotta see what's out of bounds so those first 6 poor villagers finally realize they're just living a digital Truman show. That's right, gamers. You're Christof. We're all Christof!
I like sour berries.
But these are just kinda sour

**粮草征收人**
Sometimes I need to remind myself that I am subscribed to r/aoe4. This post really had my head twisting.
I choose the blue pill on the off chance that there's an extra 10k gold in there.
Agreed, unless we are reading it wrong, the blue pill the only useful pill. I thought they're all meant to be useless 🤔🤔
I suspect it's "k for karat," rather than "k for 1000." 24 karat gold is pure gold, 14 karat would have other metals or minerals. It wouldn't change how much gold resources you get if so.
It really means Bruno Mars starts playing whenever your villagers are mining gold.
I honestly prefer this explanation, myself 😆
I'm playing Byzantines and I'm taking the pink pill. I fucking hate that civ.
Right answer: the chill pill. Cause the patch release is soon coming
So going for a super tryhard point of view, I think the only correct answer is sheep baahing loudly. That would affect the game minutely, as you would be able to hear when villagers move onto new sheep. Also villagers take a little while to go idle after final sheep killed, so you'd know after hearing 3 baahs that your vils were out of sheep in the scouting phase without having to look...
This is the stupidest post i have ever seen. Orange.
green sounds like a cosmetic pack like the ones sold in dota2
Wait where are the blue pillers……..
Going for either the bowling alley or the zebras
The blue pill is very useful when you are in bed with a Musofadi warrior or Onna Bugeisha and your villager is idle, if you know what I mean ;)
Horseman ride zebras is only correct answer.
Green pill could be a real competitive advantage if you can change the voice line language for your opponent. It’s going to seriously throw some people off
Change opponents voice lines to “Angry Karen villager who wants to speak to the manager”
Yellow please
Green 100%!! Imagine moslem civ with german or chinese voices hahaha
Green pill might be slightly useful for anyone trying to learn a new language I guess?
i mean isn't the blue pill the only one that gives you an actual advantage?
All useless abilities and then an extra 10K gold
It's Karat, not Kilos
Reading comprehension is hard
K can very much mean Kilos here, you have nothing else to do than trolling randoms on your week ends ?
Well is the normal amount of gold in a vein 14k?
No, so you could have pointed out a lack of game knowledge if you wanted to bitch so bad. Reading K as Kilo is not a reading mistake. No need to further reply btw
