SirPleb - I think your link to the first spoiler is wrong
It works OK for me. [EDIT]Whoops! Fixed it to point to 08 instead of 07Timko said:SirPleb - I think your link to the first spoiler is wrong
Hard luck I'm first on that. I have written my third spoiler before the second one...Originally Posted by AlanH
I've opened a final spoiler thread for this game, for those of you whose games extend to the Industrial/Modern Ages, and for any round-up discussions you may want.
Oops. Alan, thanks for fixing it!Timko said:SirPleb - I think your link to the first spoiler is wrong

I think something went went wrong before your 70BC save. At 70BC you had 18 turns remaining in your alliance with Byzantines which included incense. But you weren't receiving the incense and that should be impossible: either it couldn't be provided in the first place and therefore the alliance deal should not have been possible, or if the incense connection was broken later then the alliance deal should have been cancelled at that time. So I think there's a bug in something which happened before 70BC. Do you have a save file from a bit before making the alliance with Byzantines?solenoozerec said:While playing COTM8 I encountered a strange phenomenon, I was able to buy a lux from Byzantium twice
I think this case is actually ok, nothing wrong. It looks like in 660AD you settled Kutallu 2 near the Byzantine border and that took one source of iron from them. I think it is a safe bet that before this turn they had two sources of iron and they were trading one of them to someone else. After you took that iron they were down to one and had to continue providing it in trade, leaving them with no iron for themselves.solenoozerec said:Iron is clearly connected to Constantinople. Yet, I can sell it to Byzantium:

I also tried this: end turn, declare on Babylon, end second turn. And on the following turn incense is still available from Byzantines. It only becomes unavailable after getting Byzantines to declare on Babylon. It isn't just a same-turn problem. You've certainly hit a weird bug here.solenoozerec said:Hit enter, loose incense, declare a war on Babylon, then ask Theodora for alliance and incense in exchange for Theology
