Finish Date Question

unclethrill · Nov 11, 2008

I just played a vanilla duel conquest and noticed something odd. I rolled my initial warrior into the enemy city and destroyed it on turn 6. It said the Indian Civ has been destroyed but then I had to click through 5 more turns before it declared a conquest victory for me. I looked in the HOF and saw that most (maybe all) of the duel conquest wins are the same.

Is this a bug in CIV4 or in the HOF mod that doesn't allow a win before 10 turns have completed?

It's because the game makes you lose if you haven't settled before then, and for some reason it assumes there may be a rival settler kicking about, even though it must know.

I don't know if it is a bug or a feature but it has been true in Civ4 since the beginning. I assume it is on purpose since they never fixed it. :crazyeye:

The earliest you can win is 3835 BC I think on Marathon. This is why all the deity fastest conquests end at the same date, with the only thing differing between them is score (extra population, etc). It is hardcoded in the game, not the HOF mod.

maybe the AI still has some warrior running around?
Before the fatal number of turns, it can still conquer your city

Well that only applies if you have "require complete kills" on, and I think TMIT had an accidental conqust win with that when he captured all AI cities anyway...
