Hey there !

First of all, thanks to the creators of the mod, I find very nice, very well balanced, not too easy, not too hard, Just ads what was needed to make Civ V th perfect game

However, I'm having the same problem than everyone it seems ^^ I'm playing as the Chinese and at turn 221, the game CTD just after the turn of the fifth civilisation (I haven't discovered it yet). I'm playing on warlord, epic speed, the year is 715AD and I'm a couple of turns away from the compass. Might be related to spying, idk. I use RED modpack and IGE as well, I'll try something with it like erasing the fifth civi ^^

edit : the fifth civilization if byzantum. the Game CTD as soon as their turn begins.

Hello lincoln_lyf,

Thank you for the amazing mod. It has the great potential. Keep up the good work. As some other players, I too encountered the crash to desktop during the AI turn somewhat later in the game. The save file just before end of turn can be found here.

I also have Korea DLC (but no Korea in this game). I activated the DebugMode and connected to the game with the FireTuner. During the AI turn, the Lua Console was logging this:

...
New Population Rule: population lost!Lyon
New Population Rule: population lost!Lyon
Runtime Error: ...\Sid Meier's Civilization 5\MODS\Super Power Units (v 4)\LUA\New Attack Effects.lua:31: attempt to index local 'defUnit' (a nil value)

...

Hopefully you'll figure out the issue. If you need any further assistance, please let me know.

This looks like a null pointer exception. It's trying to reference a "defending unit" to get it's X coordinate and complains because it couldn't find that object. Assuming your error log reads from top to bottom, I'm just wondering if that may have something to do with adding another war casualty to a city with 0 (or 1) population?

It looks like you attacked a French army and caused a citizen death in Lyon. If Lyon has 1 citizen and you kill a military unit, does the city disappear or is this edge case taken care of in the code?

Looking into the release note, the casualties are supposed to happen at random. If one of the cities is randomly chosen upon a unit death to subtract a citizen from, that's an easy place to forget excluding those cities with only 1 population.

But it's likely that Firaxis added some protection to the subtractCitizen operation, for starving cities with 1 population. If lincoln is using his own scripts for casualties, it might be a good idea to double-check if it's protected (e.g. numCitizens = max(numCitizen--, 1)).

I don't think that's the thing with me. I have the BigCity Bonanza mod where every city starts with 6 population and citizens use less food. And my game still just disappears everytime I click Next Turn at Turn 110 and 120. By the way, my game is Emperor, Quick, Domination Victory, China, Turned off Korea DLC.

Hmm, guess I'll have to look into the code to see if I can find something. I never programmed in Lua before and I didn't make this mod. But I can still try reviewing the code in my free time if that will help.

Does anyone know why I can't scroll around in my tech tree? All it shows is the Ancient Era techs and then the first 4 Classical Era techs.

Thanks

I think I found a solution to the CTDs that are happening around turn 200. It seems to happen when an AI civ with the "military caste" policy builds a unit and is awarded bonus science. With this work-around, I'm unsure if it will fix everyone's CTDs or if the policy will still work as intended. But, it did fix my game and the world now cowers under the mighty heel of the Songhai empire. Hope it works for you guys, too.

Unfortunately I don't think that's the issue. I changed the script, but I still got a CTD.
I'm also pretty sure that the crashes are caused by unit casualties trying to be applied to cities with only 1 population, I tested this by doing a fast 1v1 duel map, built 4 cities, set them all to avoid growth, built a ton of units and sent them to suicide against the enemy civ. My capital was the only city at the start to have more than one pop, and when casualties did occur, they were taken from my capital. Eventually even it had only 1 population, and the next time (I assume) casualties happened, boom, CTD.

Hope this helps.

Why isn't the creator of this mod reading this discussion page? The casualties are a big problem and it doesn't seem to be fixed yet.
