A Settler Bug?

[mikezang]

I found a bug, my settler is disappeard in main screen, but when press F3, there is a Settler on the tile what I moved, there are Musketers on the same tile, they are normal no any problems, I made two screen shots, but I forgot to upload them, I will do it tonight at home.
That Settler re-appeared next turn, then I built a new city, does anyone met similar event? is it a real bug?

C3C version? Save? It's hard to confirm without evidence. The screenshots will help greatly.

 

[mikezang]

Yeah, I play C3C 1.22. I will check if I still have saved file. Please wait for 10 hours

 

[mikezang]

Here is saved game. It should be a bug.

(If I may offer a hint at your game, disband some archers and obsolete units on your home continent. You are spending 200+ gpt on unit costs alone.)

Regarding the bug: I see what you are saying, and I'm not sure why it happens. If you right click the tile, it's as if the unit isn't there (no drop down menu). What I did was fortify the two muskets S of it, then reactivated them, and it reappeared. Odd. While this obviously happened in your game, I can't say whether it's a bug or not - I've never heard about it elsewhere, nor has anyone else reported it that I've seen. Thanks for the save though.

There's a couple of instances where units seem to disappear in 1.22 (not just settlers). Makes it kind of annoying when you're conducting a naval invasion...

You are right, but I will win the game soon, so I don't have to disband them
By the way, at last, I found I can only win this gamw in Domination, not Conquest, do you have any idea?

Because that victory condition wasn't turned on. BTW, if you play a scenario that doesn't have conquest victory turned on, it saves that setting for all games. (same with any victory conditions/rules).

 

[mikezang]

There is Conquest Victory, but I met a problem, there is one tile city belong to Arabs, I can't capture it except I have marine, but I got Domination victory before I got them.
I have to raze my cities to delay Domination, this is too terrible, but it is only what I can do.

I think there can also be disappearing units when you move them as a stack. I had that happening once to my invasion force. That gave me more trouble than the AI

 

[azzaman333]

has anyone else seen an AI unit one turn in your territory, next turn they've disappeared off the face of the earth. I've seen this happen with an Enkidu Warrior, a Worker, and a Spearman.

YES! And it's particularly frustrating when it's a worker that belonged to me, the AI has just captured him, since he's in my territory moving out he should be able to only move one tile, and yet he's nowhere to be found.

Ive noticed this as well. Sometimes there can be an explanation when you look at is closely but im convinced that it can just teleport them at times. With respect to workers tho i have seen the AI disband them to simply prevent you from getting them i guess.

 

[HellboundHeathcliff]

Disappearing AI units are due to the AI running a deficit and getting units disbanded each turn.

 

[Himalia]

That would make sence. hinking about it, its always happened during a war as far as i remember and could well of lost a ciy or two.

If the AI can't get captured workers to safety, they disband them. Even stacks of >80.

but i dont see them die. even when im staring at them at the end of the turn, it moves its full movementthen disappears at the start of my turn. in the game i was playing last night (to 1:30am )this was the sole reason i declared war on the arabs. stupid galley disappearing in my territory after moving three times in turn.

 

[HellboundHeathcliff]

I've never seen them get disbanded either. That's why we call them disappearing units

 

[Bartleby]

When playing PTW I occasionally saw them disband--they just do their "die" animation during the interturn. I don't think I've seen it in C3C though.

ONe time the Germans were disbanding spears and swords and archers right infront of my cities.
