Hello everyone,
For the starters I'd like to express my great admiration to all the work and people involved in developing Vox Populi, after I discovered it some time ago it instantly became one of my best, if not the best gaming experience of my life! Thank you for your hard for and dedication!
Now, I've downloaded the Hotfix #4 last night and started a new game with Chinese (standard settings, Price difficulty, 8 AI - 16 City States, Continents) where I soon realized that on a quite large continent there was NO City States spawned at all. I have not explored entire map (other continents), but this is quite odd, since when processing the game (information bar at the bottom) it does not say it's processing/working on City State moves but from Player 8 goes directly to "Processing Barbarians". I quickly started another game just now, same settings, ensured City States are allowed in Advanced Settings but I've managed to explore entire continent again, finding 4 AI's and no City States again. Now, could be just a strange coincidence, but maybe I've messed something up? This is what I did last night -
- I've had latest (December version) VP installed and it worked like a charm (although amount of bribed was quite annoying
)
- I've re-installed it again, VP - full installation with EUI - as it was instructed in the first post here
- Downloaded 1-9 Patch 43 Civ EUI with Hotfix 4 - I was completely unsure if this is the one I needed - I'm just playing Vox Populi so I assumed this one is the right one
- Unpacked and copy/file overwrite
- Went in cache folder and deleted it's content as suggested in the post.
That's it - game works perfectly - It's just this strange thing with City States. Maybe it's a stupid coincidence, maybe I'll encounter them later, but in both these mentioned games I've explored entire continents and there was not even one to meet.
Now, I don't know if I used the wrong Hotfix version or what could have happened, but I'd appreciate if anyone can suggest and help please?
EDIT - Just for more clarification - VP is the only Mod I am playing and have it installed, before this action from last night everything was working well and yes, I've checked all the Start Game settings, City States are defined and should be spawned...
EDIT #2 - I'm thinking I probably used the wrong Hotfix version, maybe it should have been just this file "1-9 Patch EUI with Hotfix 4" ? Anyhow, could be I'm just too much of a noob here, I'll check this option in a day or two, I want to finish this one game I started where I have such a great start
