[Vanilla] Base Game Patch Notes (February 2018)

[OZFugazi]

Alert function works.

partially.. the unit does wake after being hit now. but that functionality should work no matter what the condition of your unit is placed in. as in should be part of the game to begin with.

as for waking from alert when an enemy unit is within your units view? no. that does not work. and hasn't worked since Australian update. which means that if you are trying to sustain a border to prevent enemy settlers from forward settling or blockade units that would otherwise coastal pillage you into a state of fury.. there is no way to do monitor that, without cycling through units. which by the way, is annoying af.

I can't for the life of me, understand how this bug has gone on for this long. units placed on ALERT, should AWAKEN, when ANY enemy unit, is within your units range of sight. when you play on larger type maps.. one could easily have to cycle through 10+ units to monitor potential border issues. that gets old quick.

all the best.

Whoops, there's Poland rightsy-theresy upsy-closey. No city-states sprinkled between us.

There are some change in Cyrus ability? I heard about it somewhere, but I can't access my computer now and the patch notes are just for the Base Game.

That looks fine to me. Poland is at least 11 hexes away from you. The early game would be boring if there wasn't at least a chance for some close border conflict.

 

[Duuk]

Exit to desktop no longer seems to crash the game.

 

[Architect]

None of the Rise and Fall changes are in the base game. So nothing has changed with regards to leader abilities.

Poland is 11 tiles from your capital which is not close at all.

My apostles now can choose from three available promotions. Can anyone check if you experience this too?

 

[katanaD]

one thing i have noticed is that even though i disabled all the community mods, exited civ and restarted, if i went to start a new game using a presaved game type, the mods were enabled.

only when i started a new game by choosing all the settings, did it appear mods were disabled.

and i am also seeing the -1 unit support cost in the UI

It's in the patchnotes.

It's in the patchnotes.

I missed that one. Thanks for pointing it out.

In the civilpedia they are the same as they have always been, so probably just a problem with the unit tooltips referencing an invalid or null value.

 

[Miravlix]

Pathing seems weird, the game can't show you that you can walk to a tile behind a unit, not under your control and I seem to have weird issues with trying to walk past units, but I know I once had a unit using the occupied tile to go somewhere, but a "stuck" scout in my territory was giving me problems and a lot of units couldn't walk through the tile.

Units seems to get "stuck", had a AI scout just standing in a really bad spot in my territory.

I played a bit with the new patch and everything seems really snappy. Best feeling version of the Vanilla game for sure. Just in time for the expansion

...And now say hello to Alexander. What's that, 8 squares? Huge map, with -2 civ's.

...And now say hello to Alexander. What's that, 8 squares? Huge map, with -2 civ's.

Sure its 8 hexes -- but he is on a whole different continent -- you've got an ocean between you!

...And now say hello to Alexander. What's that, 8 squares? Huge map, with -2 civ's.

I don't think different landmasses have the same rules for closeness.i.e. I know cities can be settled only two water tiles apart for instance instead of 3.

 

[sonicmyst]

Medium to High leader animations now has an option to turn on or off the motion blur.

 

[Magil]

At any rate, 8 hexes away is perfectly fine. This isn't the 2-3 hexes away that was happening before.

 

[BenZL43]

It looks like they're fixing stuffs comprehensively. While I'm still at work, can anybody help me check whether the following is fixed:

1) Spear of Fionn
Does unit that got this promotion now properly indicated in the UI? Previously it was unknown until you went to a combat and see the Spear of Fionn modifier active.

2) Bandar Brunei
Does Bandar Brunei still use Jakarta's old Monumen Nasional (Monas) icon or have they changed into something Bruneian?

Thank you!

FYI, Science per citizen is set to .5 in the expansion global defines.
