Why the heck doesn't it show WAR using the Advanced Scoreboard?? You're confusing poor plesniak! He thinks he's not at war with Mansa but he is! http://forums.civfanatics.com/uploads/102845/Worterror_AD-1828_cant_attack.CivBeyondSwordSave He asked about it in Bhruic's patch thread, but that's not the problem. Haven't heard from him about whether he has BUG or not, but in any case it DOESN'T SHOW THE WAR INDICATOR in the scoreboard.
Dat's qwazy!! :crazyeye:

Thanks for the kind words ggganz. The BUG Mod DOES have a war indicator on the Advanced Scoreboard. It's a red fist. The only reason it wouldn't have that shown is not because of scoreboard dumbness, but because someone was playing around in the options screen, and removed the War indicator. My suggestion to poor plesniak is to read the docs. To fix this problem follow these steps.


1) Alt + Ctrl + O to go to Options screen.
2) Click on Scoreboard Tab.
3) On the right half of the screen you'll see a whole bunch of what looks like random letters and symbols. Hover your cursor over them, and it will tell you what each one means. Those are items shown on the scoreboard. To add the Fist of War to the score, just add the letter W. I like it at the front of the score, but the default is after the Civs name, IIRC.
4) Exit the Options Screen. Everything is saved to the .ini file, so you don't have to do anything else.


Would have printed some screenshots for ya, using your own game showing the Fist of War, but my print screen button isn't working for some reason.

Hope that helps, and good luck with Mansa Musa, even though you should be taking out Sitting Bull.;)

Not my game. ;)

Ah, yes, now I see the red fist. The only problem here is that plesniak doesn't know that he's already at war with Mansa.

So it sounds not like scoreboard dumbness but user dumbness on this one. Take care.:)

Okay, one more thing about the Scoreboard...
You can no longer click on leader names one right after another and have them appear in order (like if you wanted to contact more than one leader, click the first one then all the rest while looking at the first one's screen, then when you close that one, the rest will come up).

Why????

That change was in 3.13 patch, not related to BUG.
