The UNITCOMBAT_SPY problem most likely has its origin in the Unit renaming feature.
Did you check your CIV4UnitCombatInfos.xml if there's a UNITCOMBAT_SPY entry? If yes, does the txt_key it refers to exists as well ? should be TXT_KEY_UNITCOMBAT_SPYI had a problem with 2.8 and no user interface, tried everything to get it on but it wouldn't do it. I make a copy of the BUG4.4 mod, rename it to 1861AD then start copying everything folder by folder that the BUG doesn't have (Art, Leaderheads, Technologies, etc..) Then the folders that the original 1861 have I tried winmerge to update the xml but I've gotten everything working except I get a "UNITCOMBAT_SPY" not valid. So I have to track that down, plus some other smaller art details which are an easy fix. Almost done though.
So...What are the religions in this mod? Or it is ideology?
