I want to play a bizarre game, but can't.

I think a game with 22 Atillas would be much more fun.

But what happens if they found more cities? Attila's Courts everywhere?

Attila's Court

Attila'sCourt

AtTiLa'S cOuRt

XxXAttila's CourtXxX

The Real Attila's Court

Not Attila's Court

Attila's Court434

And so on...

No, I think if the game can't find an original city name, it automatically generates a different city name for it. Think of it like Attilas borrowing city names.

So I don't think that is the problem.

22 Gandhis in one game.

It's raining nukes!

Alright, I went to 2K support to see if they could fix this issue. Just got a brand new computer and tried this again with 22 Zulus all the way down to 10. Where they all crashed.

Here is the message:

Hello.

The game crashes when you select the same leaders, there is usually a crashing point in where you select more of the same leaders in the game. This happens to all Civilizations in the game. And the crash point is usually at 8-12 leaders of the same Civilization.

For an example, today I tried playing a Continents map on Huge with 22 Zulus. Which is 22 of the same exact Civ, I did this merely for fun of course. But a few seconds after, pressing start and going into the leader screen at the Zulu, it crashed. So I had to restart Civilization V, since time I tried 16 Zulu on the same settings, it crashed again. Then I tried 14, where it also crashed. I tried putting less and less of the same leader until eventually it worked with 7 of the same Civ, which is unfair and to me boring.

I published a thread about this issue sometime ago, although no one seemed to have an solution to the problem, only that the crash point for them we're 8-12 of the same leaders on any sized map. This is at CivFanatics and the thread is here: http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=533338

Please have a good read of this thread and understand that multiple people are experiencing this problem, not just me. My graphics drivers are fully up to date and Civilization V can run the recommended specs.

Once you have read the thread, please start investigating this issue and maybe include a patch for Civ V, although with it's other issues. (Such as Polynesia not being able to use Trade Routes over the ocean until it discovers Astronomy, even though its units can embark and cross oceans immediately.)

Thanks.

You can get 22 players in the game via advanced set-up.

You can get more players than 22 in by a mod I once knew. You really should be allowed more than 22 civs.

This is my first time hearing of this. There goes the idea of the 22 Shaka game I was planning. Would have been fun. Or 22 Swedens, either there'd be great people everywhere, or the Swedens would all be killing each other.

And if you put start bias off ?

That's.... something I haven't tried. When you come to think about it, the game might crash trying to find a start bias for all those Shakas. i.e Avoid Jungle. The game might just play them in the same position and it could crash because of it.

Anyhow I'll try it later and edit this.

Alright, no I disabled start bias it still does the same.

Still waiting a response from 2K.
