Hi guys,
I am going to ask a question that has already been asked, but never really answered. I have been playing civ4, particularily bts for years now. Few time ago i dld thomas' war mod (which is for me one of the best) and had some game, but every time the same problem occurs.
When i arrive around the industrial era, I finish the turn, AI begin to think, but never stops. The planet cursor keeps turning, i can move the screen on the map, but the turn will never pass.
This is very annoying as i never managed to acces further era in the game. what a pity.

"Hi.
I'm sorry if I'm repeating an already posted question, but I find it a bit difficoult to know.
I've a very annoyng problem with this marvellous mod.
After a certain number of turns, after ending the turn, the game locks. It remains "thinking", with the world's icon rolling, and the "end turn" never happens.
Even reloading the game, when reaching the same turn, it won't pass the turn.
(I also tried waiting half an hour, with no results)
I noticed that a device to overcome this problem is changing something important in the game. For example, last time, I declared war just before the "locking" turn, and I manage to go to the next turn.
But... this won't work everytime, or is not always possible, and is very annoying...
So... there is a way to force the next turn? It is possible to have an escape cheat code to stopping the AI thinking and begin the next turn?
I'm not able to end a game. Not one at all.
I usually play in multiplayer, 2 human people allied, and 4 pairs of AI allied, for a total of 10 players, over LAN.
I usually can play untill Scientific Method or so.
It's been ten games or more, that I cannot reach the the future era!
Maybe the author of this mod (the best I've ever played) could add a button in the interface, to press to force the game to go to the next turn??
Thanks in advice. "
The only answer given, by The J, is "The "lock" is a standard BtS bug and has nothing to do with this mod. Only Firaxis can fix it. "
I am not very satisfied with this answered as i never encountered this bug before.
Did some of you had the same problem, on this mod or any other game? It looks like some people never got it, that must means that something can be done to avoid this...
I am really looking for some help about this.
Thanks a lot in advance,
++
