Agent Orange Game 2B

[ProPain]

Maybe everybody used the right procedure, but maybe some had acc prod on and others hadn't. Or maybe the MP just doesn't work right. No use crying over spilled milk anyway. A new game is on the way:

And look at this fabulous starting position

Game's mailed to Col.

BTW. My production is ok this time. I'd say DO NOT use the workaround this time, and hopefully everything will be fine.

Hmm. I got accelerated production just like ProPain. And what you are seeing is accelerated production.

Someone must have messed up the load procedure....

I had growth 10 turns, warrior 5 turns on a 2 food 1 shield tile. That is no acc. prod. for me..., just regular stuff!

I wonder what that I am gonna have this time... Nice spot ProPain! Well, at least you have hills and food plains...

Ouch...

If you got this, I'll probably get a 2 tile island somewhere ten squares from the mainland ......

I'll play this one as soon as I get home - about 4.30 GMT.

Just load and play this time, right?

And what is even worse, you'll probably have to fight for control of the island with me....

Ugly start for you Propain, hope you'll at least find some game hiding in the nearby forests for some much needed production.

I'll be waiting for it. About loading, I think it's a good idea to use both procedures once on the same save and see if there is any difference. How can you see after one turn if you're on what level you are? Make sure that when you load using the workaround, that acc. prod is turned off! Maybe it's a pref that is not saved in the save-game

I dunno, just trying to think along

Plux, ProPain already started a new game:

Lets NOT do the workaround this time! We are with 8 humans, so the difficulty will be the same for everybody (chieftain).

I reloaded the file I got: when i load it, acc prod comes on and cannot be turned off.

 

[anarres]

Eh? This is too weird. Will this game ever happen?

2B or not 2B, that is the question...

 

[Plux]

OK, I tested it.. I found out that if you have acc. prod turned on while using the workaround, the game becomes acc.prod This works one-way only. It can only be turned on, not turned off again. I wonder if the same goes for the victory conditions and other characteristics in that window...

so ATTENTION: while using the workaround, make sure that acc.prod. is turned off!!!

We could go back and use the first save again , but whatever..

nice bug-testing btw, Firaxis..

/edit: no free toggling, only turning acc. prod on.

 

[anarres]

Plux, there are a million bugs in PBEM, they obviously thought everyone would play the other MP game types

Now that's funny. I wonder if any Firaxians play MP at all...

 

[col]

I had a bad moment there when I loaded the 'new' game and found myself in the same position as previously. What are the chances of that, I thought. That cunning Propain, I thought. Then I realised I'd loaded the first game again. Doh

Ok - second time round - new start. Wlel that looks more like it. No complaints. :

Just be clear, I loaded this directly. No workarounds. OK?

I wish!!!!

and yes col, no workarounds.

@ Lt. 'Killer' M. : I take you're talking about the first game and not the restart. ??!!??! Although my position isn't that nice, I don't fancy another restart

@Anarres : Maybe you should post your test to Firaxis. If we're lucky it makes them realise there's this great new concept, it's called : BUG TESTING!!!!!

 

[WildFire]

Accelerated production was on for me. I was going to get a warrior in 3 turns I think!

Oh well, guess this won't be my best starting postition. Or, I could hope to get 5 silks

 

[anarres]

So...

...where's the save?

Still waiting for turn 1.

 

[Kemal]

I've already played and sent it to Plux (around 17:30 GMT).

I'm happy to report that I got a much better starting location this time:

Did not recieve it yet!

Nice jungle Kemal!

Seeing your locations, I hope I have some cows!

 

[Plux]

I don't know what to think of my starting position. There is food & production, but only after heavy improvements

 

[anarres]

I would be more worried about the land just outside your city radius...

You have fairly good squares, but it looks as though you are in the middle of a mountain range

 

[ERIKK]

This new start looks quite OK again:

thanx Mel!

On to Killer!
