A New Dawn Bug Reports and Feedback

[soup567]

This time I removed the ROM folder from MODS in the BTS folder.

Then re-installed 2.91 ROM, then the 1.73 AND then the 1.73k patch and went to playing the game.

On Vista, you need to install your programs to a different folder then "program files".

As Vista, will not let you make changes to anything in that folder.

All you have to do is remove the word "program files" from the path, and you can then mod programs.

What? On my old computer that was Vista I had RoM in program files and it worked fine.

Soup, you may need to split it into parts, which 7z supports.

OK thanks. I'm compressing it with 7z now.

CTD instantly after map is loaded and turn begins I guess it has something to do with barbarians landing near my city. Version 1.74 patch B

A thing I detected, too is that pretty early in the game war was declared on me by a civ without any units of them being around for some turns. Strange behaviour, helps human to prepare defenses though ;-)

A New Dawn log please?

I've tried to compress it twice now with 7z and when it is done compressing the file just seems to disappear. I tried compressing it win winrar too, but it said it couldn't.

EDIT: nvm, now it mysteriously appeared. Ok, now I'll upload it.

I used AtomicGamer. It allow you to upload at maximum 2GB. I did that before for Afforess to debug my stuff. Uploading would be long but it is doable.
Just use winrar to compress your RoM folder once. Then you are set to go.

The problem with that is that my RoM folder is over 2GB. Though compressed it isn't, so I guess it doesnt matter. :O

:shrug: You never know until you try it .

@Afforess
Btw, was my report about Beatification and Arctic Chains valid?

 

[Vokac]

Why are you trying to use AND 1.73? That's an outdated version.

That is where you quick install guide points to.

Any news on the "Choose Religions" bug, Afforess?

Well thanks. I did register at Atomic Gamer, since my RoM folder was too big even compressed for filefront. It just has to upload now. It also looks like it's going to take over an hour to upload.

Can I have your A New Dawn.log, I can't load your save without it.

Thanks, I'll go fix it.

I don't know, I asked for a better description, but you never responded back. They seem to work for me...

That is weird.

Here is my savegame to prove my point. I have Meditation tech now and most of my cities have Walls so they should had been qualified to have Grove.

1.74 patch B - the Seminary building seems to require both State Church and Free Church civics, making it impossible to build.

 

[Vokac]

Thanks, I'll go fix it.

The patch link still points to 1.73k

Any Idea why I get the XML error when loading 1.74b?

Says "no inqustions tag name is wrong...." and lists some other path to a xml file in the ROM mods folder.

Okay, another thing about university/libraries. I play on the islands map, so I'm limited on how many cities I can have without taking over a rival island. I can squeeze 6-8 cities into small world setting, and I need 10 minimum to build enough libraries so I can build the 5 universities for oxford. Turning down sea level to get more space just makes it so there's no ocean between islands and civs invade way too early for my liking.

So I bumped up world size to standard and regenerate map until I get an island with enough space for 10 cities, only to find that now every university wants 3 libraries... I guess it increases with world size? No amount of regenerating will get me an island that can fit the 18 cities oxford university requires now.

I'm struggling to find a balance between world size, sea level, and number of civs that will accommodate both the ridiculously high requirement for oxford university and the type of game I like.

Requesting a change for the university requirement from number of libraries owned to something like minimum population or culture. Having 8 cities and not being able to build oxford university is lame. It makes more sense anyway for something like culture or population. Theoretically I could have a few dozen glorified forts with 1 population and build it, while another civilization with five 20+ population cities with legendary culture couldn't.

Confirming the "can't build fishmarket" issue - was actually coming here to report that one myself.

Also, not really a bug, but more of a balancing thing - the fact that Plato's Academy requires a certain number of scribe schools lends itself to less than ideal gameplay choices now that libraries replace scribe schools. It's more beneficial to -not- upgrade to libraries until after you build the Academy, since the wonder is useful well into the later ages, and once you build libraries you're no longer able to build it. Making it require X number of scribe schools -or- libraries may be a better idea so people don't feel like they shouldn't upgrade.

i've updated the BuildingUpgradeChains and changed the prerequisites for those wonders among other changes. for more details and download see the better rom thread. however note, that adding the actualized version will most probably break saves.
