Just a teaser: this is what I have been working on the last day; A new Civilopedia tab, "Building Upgrades"

Awesome! This is just want I needed!

Could you make a dependency chart too? Such as ...

Water Pipes -> Water Tower -> Water Pumping Station

Personalised Map game option doesn't work for me. I gather that certain terrain features are supposed to be automatically assigned map markers when the fog of war over them is lifted for the first time, but nothing is happening in my game.

that are good news indeed. and is a good motivation to move many buildings into such upgrade chains to evade obsolation.

I request help from the good people of this forum. I have encountered a problem which, I believe relates directly to the newest Beta.

My cities are not expanding as they I believe they should. Instead of the usual cultural expansion, which produces the "fat X" that I have always experienced, my cities expand but are obstructed by mountains, forests and other things that obstruct. XP. I wish I could post a screenshot but my computer for unknown reasons cannot do so. Has anybody else experienced something like this? Is this supposed to be happening? If there's a logical explanation for this strange occurence, please let me know because I've driven myself mad searching for the reason behind this.

 

[Toddy]

It's meant to be happening, there are more details here.

Hi Afforess, what you changed for fixing the bug with Vicinity Buildings at revision 136? Is this all?

CvCity.cpp Line:19011

if (pLoopPlot->isHasValidBonus() /*&& pLoopPlot->isConnectedTo(this)*/)

I'm gonna rebuild a clean install and test it. Even if it can fixe that bug, I still recommend to resolve the issue of the plot has an invalid city reference.

 

[lichen8566]

It looks like the bug with stoneworker's hut was fixed. But there is still possiblity of this bug when the realistic culture option is turned on.

I've re-implemented the way VicinityBonusYields work in a test version, which should avoid the problems with the current method.

So what happened to tactics? Is it set aside completely, turned off temporarily, or is Hydro picking it up?

 

[The Exile]

*facedesk* Damn it, I briefly looked at that thread too. >.<. I didn't realize that was what I was looking for. Yay for making myself look like a fool in these forums again.

Thanks for the information Toddy.

 

[Afforess]

Thank you to everyone who beta tested 1.73. The beta testing period is over. There will be an official release later this evening.

 

[The Exile]

I swear, every time I download a Beta the official version comes out less than 24 hours later.

 

[Arakhor]

That sounds great, Afforess. I'll look forward to it

Coolio Afforess, I was getting tired of checking the SVN repo

 

[os79]

Yep, Revision 136 is the most stable revision I had played so far. Now I had an absolutely beautiful starting place on my map. Though I only have 4 cities at present, I'm preparing for WAR! against nations to my north . I am looking forward to conquer.

So would final official version be appreciable different from revision 136 or not?

Nope, and it won't be save compatible. Sorry.

Clarifying your answer:
No, it is not that much from Revision 136 but whatever is changed still breaks the savegame. Am I right?

So I can play Revision 136 in comfort knowing that final official version won't have anything I will regret not having (a Deaf individual here so excluding that funny audible thingy for someone else )?

Well... The official release fixes the crazy Vicinity Yields issue. It probably isn't worth dropping a game if you have a good one going, but as soon as you can, upgrade.
