View Full Version : King of the Netherlands wins an economic victory?
Gherkin Apr 08, 2009, 08:28 PM Ok, playing 1.09b, revolutionary level. I was playing the Dutch. The revolution had not even begun yet (I was gearing up for it), and I get a message saying the King of the Netherlands had won an economic victory. Maybe I'm missing something, but how does that fit into the game mechanics? I trade too much and the King wins?
The tax rate was about 75%, year 1686 or so. I had accumulated about $60,000.
Seems like an odd way to lose a game.
Dale Apr 08, 2009, 11:31 PM Yeah there seems to be a bug where your King's trade amount is heavily inflated. Confirmed.
Aerion Apr 09, 2009, 12:57 PM This happened to me with the King of England. Will this bug fix be in 1.10?
Also, what is the criteria for a king to win an Economic Victory? Or more correctly, what is SUPPOSED to be the criteria?
Dale Apr 09, 2009, 01:42 PM The main one is that, you aren't a King!
PrinzMyshkin Apr 09, 2009, 05:05 PM So can a King score an economic victory? Is that intended?
Dale Apr 09, 2009, 05:40 PM See post above. :)
PrinzMyshkin Apr 09, 2009, 05:49 PM LoLoLoLoL I thought the King could only score a Europe VC... :P
Aerion Apr 10, 2009, 09:08 AM The main one is that, you aren't a King!
If that's the case, then presumably, there is a deadline or some other criteria involved? Otherwise, the king has already won on the first turn.
PrinzMyshkin Apr 10, 2009, 09:09 AM I think he means King wasn't supposed to do this.
Dale Apr 12, 2009, 05:27 AM The question was "what are the criteria for a King scoring an economic victory?"
The answer is clearly "to not be a King". :p
PrinzMyshkin Apr 12, 2009, 05:47 AM Sounds like the criteria to score an eco. win, is not to be a King...
So, he can't or better shouldn't achieve it...
Clear as mud. :P
Aerion Apr 12, 2009, 05:40 PM The question was "what are the criteria for a King scoring an economic victory?"
The answer is clearly "to not be a King". :p
*sigh* Sorry I asked.
I guess I'm completely stupid, but I don't see how you've answered my question.
Dale Apr 12, 2009, 06:06 PM It's a bug. A King is not supposed to trigger an eco (or production) victory.
PrinzMyshkin Apr 13, 2009, 03:23 AM Thanks :)
What about pirate plunder?
Just pulling your leg. ;)
Dale Apr 16, 2009, 06:49 AM Fixed for 1.10
Cela May 05, 2009, 11:32 AM Ha ha. Fist of all thanks for the Mod, i downloaed it a few days ago and started a game in which my king won by an economic victory.
I was frustrated and was going to open a post about this. Good to see it has been corrected.
Thanks for the mod again.
