Ok, playing with BAT 3.0, BTS 3.19. Here is my save. As you can see, next turn I should get a warrior. But when I go to the next turn, I don't get my warrior.

You may ask why I'm building a warrior when I'm sitting on a copper mine. The answer is that I started building the warrior, then my scout popped a goody giving me mining, enabling the copper.

 

[EmperorFool]

Does the Warrior in the queue change into an Axeman or Spearman when you hit next turn, or does it disappear from the queue?

 

[cain3456]

It changes into a spear. I also picked up hunting during the IBT which enables spear.
I don't remember regular BTS doing this, but I could be wrong.

Unfortunately, it screwed up my strategy, because I was one turn from hitting pop 3 where I would start a worker.

 

[Lemon Merchant]

I've seen this happen, and it isn't unique to BAT. I'll be building warriors, and hook up copper, and presto! I get Spearmen when they're finished building.

Sort of neat, but it would be nice if they would switch to Axe Men instead.

 

[cain3456]

ok, so it's not a BAT problem then. Some more ?s, if you don't mind.
What does 3.0.1 have that 3.0 doesn't? Do I have to uninstall 3.0? Would 3.0.1 run 3.0 saves?

3.0.1 has a couple of XML fixes for a mistake that I made when packaging the installer. They should be save game compatible, as it still installs as BAT 3.0, so the game doesn't know any better. It's preferable to uninstall 3.0, and install 3.0.1 as 3.0 has a serious bug. That's why we pulled the first release after a couple of days.

You'll be much happier (and less angry with me) if you use 3.0.1.

Trust me.

Thanx for your replies and for work on the BAT mod.

Thanx for your replies and for work on the BAT mod.

You're welcome. Stay tuned, more good things on the way.

BTW, Welcome to CFC.

This is _probably_ not a bug with BUG but posting here anyway because maybe it is...:

I think I've found a bug with Better AI. I'm playing with v 1.01f, BUG 4.4 and my own mod which just adds new units/techs etc... In two consecutive games I discover a tech and am unable to trade it away, once with Theology and once with Education. When I press the F4 key it shows that the OTHER AIs "Can't Trade" even though they have the prereqs (I can check using Ctrl-Alt-L) - when I switch to the other AI it shows that my Civ "Can't Trade". It's like it's applying the Tech Monopoly AI code to the human player. I can supply a save game if needed. Later on in the game I am able to trade the tech.

 

[EmperorFool]

I see this turned out to be that you bulbed the tech, and the game does not let you trade bulbed techs until the next turn.

Yes, I've have played hundreds of hours and didn't know that! I usually don't do a lot of bulbing.

 

[LunarMongoose]

Wow, I just can't win today. I finally found the source of this code, and it's neither UP nor BUG, but Better BUG AI itself. Nevermind, I'll go post this in Fuyu's thread now. Sorry to bother.

Any time I click the 'Exit to Main Menu' button I get a crash to desktop, is this only happening to me? (Using BAT 3.0.1 on Windows 7 64-bit)

It happens once in a while, but not to everyone. I develop BAT on Windows 7 x64, and it never happens to me. It may be video card related, or it could be DirectX, we just don't know. The problem is so hard to find a common cause between machines that I have given up trying to solve it. It's also not unique to BAT.

There are simply too many variables. I hate to say that you'll have to live with it, but...

(Btw, it doesn't make me happy that this happens to people, and I do feel badly about it.)

 

[EmperorFool]

I can't find it now, but someone posted that they changed something with their sound settings and haven't seen it since. I can't think what would do that, but if I find the post I'll link it and put it in the FAQ (as I should have done when I read it).

I remember that too! I think it was to set your sound to "Use System" settings, and then it worked. I'm glad you remembered that. I always have mine set that way and the the only time it happens to me is if I make have an XML error.

@ LM - Kinda (ok really) off-topic, but your new avvy is pretty damn awesome!

I'm pretty sure every once in a while she sneaks in a picture of herself, and I'd bet $5 this one is her!

 

[ruff_hi]

really - I thought it was one of the Charmed ones ...

Either way, LM will say in a post or two that her GF says that she looks just like that

Edit1: btw - I read somewhere that every time Alyssa Milano (the one on the right above) appears on a magazine cover, that edition sells out.

Edit2: you know, we really should start a thread 'Which Lemon Merchant avvy is that?'

Did once, a log time ago. Got shredded for it.

You owe someone money. It's Anne Hathaway again.

Doubt it.

you know, we really should start a thread 'Which Lemon Merchant avvy is that?'

Pretty dull thread. Empty too.
