Do you tested your code with the normal version ? Once, I had a problem because of a missing description in a MOD (Green MOD).
It return "" instead !

Tcho!

that you're looking at a unit with a missing string. I would be tempted to print out the units coords, and the coords of the nearest city so you can go find it.

Don't count on pPlayer.getNumUnits, its an unstructured array. Meaning that it doesnt fill gaps and keep the order straight.

You may have:

Unit(0)
Unit(1)
Unit(2)
Unit(4)
Unit(5)
Unit(7)
Unit(43)

In this case getNumUnits returns 7 units, which is correct, but you cant count on them being unit 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6.

Instead use the PyPlayer wrapper as follows:

	py = PyPlayer(iPlayer)
	for pUnit in py.getUnitList():
		code stuff.....

To do this you have to have the following definition:

PyPlayer = PyHelpers.PyPlayer

Edit: You wouldn't happen to have an API of PyHelper functions? I normally use this http://civilization4.net/files/modding/PythonAPI/ but it doesn't have it.

You could just look in the file, PyHelpers.py.

Thanks Kael. I'll try that instead.
Why did they even include pPlayer.getNUmUnits() if its so useless?

pPlayer.getNumUnits() is still really helpful for telling the total amount of units but pPlayer.getUnit() is unreliable. I don't know why they did't structure that array. They do structure pPlot.getUnit().

I had the same problem as you for the longest time, units would just seem to "escape" and wouldn't be effected by any of my functions anymore. It drove me crazy until Trip pointed this out.
