Bug Reports and Technical Issues

[Tigranes]

Mouse over Discovery Bulb of Great Scientist reads "Discovery technology: Laser and Ecology". This is at the very least misleading -- unlike uncient techs you don't get 2 techs with one guy, in reality only some beakers pass over to ecology. Maybe we can reword it somehow to help the player to understand what his Scientist will do?

Also, side note, LOL to Aisrstrip One (Britain as American Vassal). Where did that reference come from? A movie?

1984, apparently.

As Vikings I had Constantinople under my control at a point, and later on I became the leader of the apostolic palace, enabling me to call for a resolution to assign it back to me as the "rightful owner" (lol), which the Byzantines happily accepted. Should there perhaps be a rule disabling core cities from being eligible for that resolution, and if not, shouldn't the Byzantines have defied the resolution?

Edit: Also, I got a CTD when choosing to disband a city that culture-converted to me - perhaps the new changes to razing etc. interfering somehow, Idk.

 

[Leoreth]

Yeah, cores probably don't factor into this resolution at all at the moment.

Some other minor stuff:

- According to Flipzones.png Barcelona doesn't flip to Castille upon spawn, it does though.
- While running secularism, I now get an opinion malus from other civs for having another state religion than them. Is that WAD?
- The wonder that amongst other things ensure your cities can't be demanded in congresses (I forgot the name :/) doesn't seem to work properly, I still lost a city to a congress after having built it.

 

[Leoreth]

Barcelona isn't in the Spanish flip zone map because it only flips for AI Spain. You mean the Palace of Nations wonder?

Edit: also, do you have the save from before that happens?

Playing as England, I tried gifting a free tech to every civ I meet for +4 stability, agree to every demand, have zero worst enemies, and only have close borders with two nations.

I have -2 Foreign Relations Stability. It seems to be literally impossible to have possible relations without doing nothing but running Statesman specialists and pumping them out to every nation in the world. Why is the average relations stability designed to be so low?

Also, England's tech rate should probably be nerfed. In every AI game I've played they always are way ahead of the other Civs.

 

[Leoreth]

Save?

 

[1SDANi]

Just updated my post with it. I had a save and image ready but forgot to include it in my post. Seems you replied right as I finished updating it. RIP my plan to sneak it in.

 

[1SDANi]

I gathered a list of the memories that foreign stability calculation uses and based on their names divided them into negative, positive, and positive that causes negative with another nation.

I don't remember seeing positive relations from voting for or against a nation, is that memory unused?

This excludes a massive amount of positive and negative relations influence. Notably, relations from shared or different civics and religion are completely absent from this list, something that can easily constitute +/- 5 relations. If I understand the code correctly, it's entirely possible to have positive diplomatic relations with a nation yet in stability calculations be considered at negative relations. The diplomatic relations shown ingame are only used to give the player a bonus +/- 1 point for being at friendly/furious relations.

I'm trying to set up a git repository and get this message. Am I doing something wrong?

Sacking cities don't seem to give the diplo malus it's supposed to give. I've noticed this in quite a few games as the Vikings/Japan.

Well, is there already a directory at Mods\RFC Dawn of Civilization? If you had installed the mod already you need to rename the existing mod directory.

Do you have a save?

Thanks, I didn't notice I needed to rename the mod I already had installed.

 

[Oblivionyx]

I don't have a specific save since it's more of a general game thing; no matter what civ I play, I never get diplo malus for sacking cities. I've started a game for you to look at though (the Sacking Test one).

I've also encountered crashing in a Japan game; I've tried delaying the research to see if that's the cause but no luck. It crashes on the next turn.

Thanks for looking at them, btw.

 

[Leoreth]

Sure, thanks for reporting. Can you tell me whose cities you sacked in the first game?

 

[Oblivionyx]

I updated the post with a save where I sack Shanghai and Hangzhou.

 

[Cosmos1985]

Another tiny thing, but if you build a city in Crete it can get the Silk Route as well - I assume that's not intended?

 

[haakonsfls]

I've tried a few times, but the game always crashes on my computer when I click "next turn" I was really happy about my Russian empire with its ridiculous amount of cities, being number on in score and a military powerhouse, but struggling quite a bit to stay afloat economically (I like roleplaying history a bit).

I want to add that I really love the mod and how it is developing I think all the new wonders in the new version really added some nice additional flavour to different civilizations and lots of new possible ways to play them.

1700 AD. Madras. British have 2 cannons there whilst they have no cannon tech and no cannons elsewhere, including London. Please fix.
