Oops! I should have known this. Hotfixes are usually gamesave safe. Not this one.

So this can happen without them actually having the malificum tech? I wasn't sure becuase I only got access to it by researching malificum, but I guess if it can be made by people without that tech then, yeah this explains it.

@BrokenSky, yep. Condition for that prophesy is that anyone has learned the tech.
@hix,
I haven't found the exact problem. I can tell that you were in and out of the Ea Setup page several times. And there were errors during this. Did you play other games during the same Civ5 session? Also (question seems unrelated but) do you own G&K?
In an ideal world, you should be able to do this. But, if you think the world isn't up to that standard yet, the safest way to approach a new mod is:
Delete cache and ModUserData folders. (I don't always do this, but certainly if I have problems)
Start Civ5, select mod, DON'T BACK UP, setup game or load game and play.
Exit Civ5 fully before starting another game or loading a save.

I can duplicate the problem with pantheist civ, build any unit before getting first druid, and the druid is labelled as the unit. works fine when i build buildings before the first druid.
I deleted cache and moduserdata, didn't realize backing up in the session was bad
Yes, i own GnK

the two epics (happiness added and research added) do not do anything (although the one time culture boost did)

I left the game in order to post stuff, when I came back and loaded, I go this error log - not sure what the effect is, if any
Sorry, but with anything that needs to be persisted across a save/load cycle savegames will be broken.
There isn't a whole lot I can do about that (well, there some crazy things, but I don't want to touch those right now).Thelo

This hotfix unfortunately doesn't seem to fix the happiness bug, and I am still at -1 Happiness upon founding my first city at King difficulty.

Hotfix c for v1 (hotfixes are cumulative) Will break saves!
Download attached file, move to your MODS folder, and "Extract Here". Click yes when it asks to overwrite 3 files.
Grrrrr... I messed up the hotfix files so it was just replacing 2 files with the same 2 files. This one should really fix it.

To be able to play in the meantime (from hotfix b), I locally modified GameInfo.sql so it said "HappinessDefault - 4" instead of "HappinessDefault - 9" (to give myself +5 happiness). However, I encountered a crash to desktop later on:

- Load Ea.Civ5Save
- Select the Priest in the city
- Click Learn Spell
- Close the "Learn Spell" window
- Click Learn Spell again
- Crash to desktop!

You're right! They used to work but the mechanisms they plug into went obsolete. I've marked these in red in the manual until they are fixed.

@Thelo,
That's the second log where it ends with the learn spell popup ("EaMain: GenerateLearnableSpellList ..."). Not on the first click but on re-entering a second time. I'll try to investigate this tomorrow.
I actually think this is a different problem, but you have pages and pages of this kind of error:
I'm not very familiar with bc1's UI mod, but I take it from this error that files are added in a "non-mod" way. They are clearly running here and that is not a good thing. At best, you aren't seeing a lot of UI generated by the mod (magical plot effects, etc).

The Religion screen's text for Cult of Plouton says "The Cult of Abzu is founded or spread [...]", should say "The Cult of Plouton [...]".

Here's a Lua error I got on hotfix d, when founding a city (next to another civ's unit):

this happened on turn 112, after I bought land that revealed a barbarian camp and on the same turn a civilization lost its capital.
In the mean time can they plug into the 'Other Happiness' mechanism I added a couple days ago?
@Thelo: I'll look at your save today and see if it crashes for me. Which hotfix was the save created in?
Edit: Clearly not the latest hotfix, the save is broken. The dump indicates it is crashing internally in lua, but the log has no crash report, the only way I'll be able to get more insight on this is to get a save in the latest hotfix which reproduces the issue.

Ah, my bad - I placed the wrong files in that archive yesterday. Instead of placing the save file, I placed an unrelated crash dump file. Here's the fixed version:

If you are referring to my first crash report above, as I said in my post, the save was created on a locally slightly modified (+5 Happiness) version of hotfix b. I also had a UI mod installed, which may have been interfering, and which I have since removed.
However I can load that save fine and reproduce the crash every time on hotfix d. The only repro problem I could think of would be if the hotfixes weren't cumulative, since I applied the hotfixes a, b and d, but not c. Or perhaps do you have local modifications of your own that would prevent you from loading the save?
In any case, I suspect that reproducing the crash would be a simple matter of opening the "Learn Spell" promotion screen on a spellcasting unit, then closing it, then clicking "Learn Spell" again (but I haven't actually tried that again since).
