For what it's worth, the hotfix worked perfectly for my save game and I got the achievements (some five of them) that I was supposed to get.

That should teach you a lesson about regression testing. It's indeed quite anticlimactic to expect to get three achievements once you win a game but to actually get zero.

Thanks! I copied the material to the wiki, please check it out: http://civilization.wikia.com/wiki/Mathematics_of_Civilization_V Edit/Add: I have now copied the images too.

With alpaca's permission I could of course also copy the content of this thread into the wiki where you'd find it more easily.

I've been modding the HappinessTipHandler function in TopPanel.lua to improve the happiness tooltip. It's now working alright except for the fact that only the first 4096 characters of the strText variable are displayed in the game! In essence, the tooltip text is cut in a random position, such...

Thanks alpaca! I believe I also got the HappinessInfo figured out: I think it's the "Happiness & Resources" tab of the Economic Overview window. :)

Which XML and Lua files create the main happiness tooltip? I thought they were HappinessInfo.xml and HappinessInfo.lua, but the former has <Button> tags in it and clearly there can be no buttons in a tooltip. To what screen do these files refer to, then?

Here are the per-article visitor statistics. I'd say those are impressive figures. Also, the Top Referrers widget shows that Wikipedia has brought about 100 000 visitors to the wiki and Google has brought about 200 000 visitors. In general the more material we get there the more people will read...

Wow, that's some nice math, alpaca! :hatsoff: May I suggest you start a new article for this in the Civilization Wiki? There you can use proper LaTeX markup to describe the formulas. As it is not a forum the good stuff also won't get buried under random comments or other threads but stays there...

Well, I raze captured cities if the enemy could take them back soon. Otherwise puppeting is always a good choice. Of course if the city has some valuable resource(s) within its borders I might reconsider even if I'd otherwise raze it.

Looks like regular hills to me. What does the game say when you hover your cursor over it? Like someone already said, there are no natural disasters, so that one won't turn into a living, lava-pumping volcano. :)

I don't think it's a natural disaster, I think it's a natural wonder: the Krakatoa. :)

Thanks for your reply, Darth Caesar! It's certainly more encouraging than the "Everything you're trying to do already exists here" reply I got when I announced the kick start of the Civ4 wiki a couple of years ago. :) The Civilization Wiki has now gained some momentum and all the unit, building...

Well, obviously the correct course of action here would be to stickify the manual errata thread and to un-stick this one. Also, the official manual and this thread are not all there is: there's also the Civilization Wiki. Frankly, I have always wondered how these discussion forums are used...

Is the manual not accurate then? I just find that this was more of a hype thread collecting single pieces of information from various sources. Now that everything has been officially published there's no need for this thread anymore. Wouldn't you find it a bit strange to still find a "Civ2...
