I'd like to continue using BtS 3.03 because I refuse to torture my DVD drive. Is there any way that I can still find the Rise of Mankind that would work with this patch?
EDIT: Yes, I do have a legal copy of CIV IV. Heck, I even bought it two times over (first just CIV IV vanilla, then later the full version). So yeah, I am super-legit, but I hate keeping a DVD or CD in the drive all the time.

Is there an issue with the corporations on this patch? As when I play each city gets the same bonuses, be it gold, culture etc, but pay different amounts for this per turn.

No, that's the way it should be. Cities that are larger, or further away from your capital, will cost more for corporations - much like for other types of city maintenance.

Wow, did the AI really do this? Hillarious.

If their GE by acident ended the turn in one city of other player and there was a avaliable wonder that could be fully rushed with it, they would rush it. Very rare in game, but I've seen atleast 2 people posting it independently.....

That one would require re-writing the diplomacy text. It doesn't check gender (in fact, the game doesn't even care). FFH has a bFemale tag in Civ4LeaderHeadInfos which could fix stuff like this as all instances of "he", "him", etc. could be replaced by stuff like %s5_genderform_he or something like that that could be filled in on the spot from the SDK.

Except that only works in English. Other languages alter the words related to the pronoun based on its gender. For example, the endings of adjectives in Spanish are changed (gorda vs. gordo). To do it justice, you'd really need two full messages.
If anyone gets up the gumption to try it, an easy solution is to place both messages in a single <TEXT> entry separated by a vertical bar (|). When you grab the text to display, check for the bar. Only if it's found do you need to split the message and check bFemale and pick which half to display.

I actually don't understand why they don't do this already - they'd certainly get enough people testing it, and quite a lot who would actually be able to solve any problems as well.

Yeah hopefully theres one more final final patch, since while this fixes a lot of things, it has broken a few and to be relatively bug free - still requires either BUG's BULL, or BBAI: Better BTS AI.
