Bug Reports and Technical Issues

[Leoreth]

I know this is ongoing but here's another save of a TC army spawning on the wrong side of the continent.
View attachment 738049

What version/commit is this save from?

Edit: nevermind, not being able to open it was my issue. But now opening the save it is stuck in "game paused by barbarian". I am not sure what to make of this.

Unpause the game, silly!

 

[Leoreth]

How?

 

[SultanRedSnake]

How?

Pause/Break key.

 

[Leoreth]

It literally never occurred to me to pause a turn based game.

Bug or Feature: For the purposes of Conqueror units, being in a state of war with Indies allows them to persist. Example: England destroyed Celts, was not at war with another major civ, units remained. I waited a few turns, then WB forced peace with Indies and units all vanished. This seems to present two problems: 1) As long as they're close enough to maintain contact, AI rarely enters a state of peace with both Indy civs, which would of course allow them to keep Conq units for far long then intended if not indefinitely. 2) If this is changed to exclude Indies, cases in which the Conqueror war routinely ends with the defender's sudden destruction (mainly New World), freshly acquired cities will be left defenseless. Takeaway: perhaps the implementation can make an allowance for City Defenders to remain, however that might be dialed-in.

PS I love this idea in principal.

EDIT: Ok so it seems that Expansion armies operate differently from Scripted/Triggered ones? Ottomans were still at war with Indies, but I observed their units suddenly vanish. I was able to confirm this correlated with the expiration of their Expansion areas. I reloaded and put Ottos at war with Italy, and sure enough they kept units past expiration date. Either way I'm starting to see visions of big trouble ahead, mainly for the AI. So far as things seem to stand, a less scrupulous player can game this mechanic by maintaining a state of war with any major civ. In any case, as currently implemented (and I recognize the change is literally a few hours old), the disbandment conditions are subject to a degree of randomness (for AI anyway) that, I'd presume, betrays their intent. Fortunately it would just be a matter of tacking on a few more operations or whatever you ProgramLordz do, nay?

Did you mean to hammer Thalassocracy this hard?

 

[Bernd-das-Brot]

When I try to start a new game (in this case the Rus 600 AD) the game crashes to desktop without any messages while initialising. I use the newest git-version from today. All worked well yesterday.

EDIT: Ok so it seems that Expansion armies operate differently from Scripted/Triggered ones? Ottomans were still at war with Indies, but I observed their units suddenly vanish. I was able to confirm this correlated with the expiration of their Expansion areas. I reloaded and put Ottos at war with Italy, and sure enough they kept units past expiration date.

Fortunately it would just be a matter of tacking on a few more operations or whatever you ProgramLordz do, nay?

I explained it in more detail elsewhere but to reiterate:

• Only expansion units and scripted AI conquerors use this system, so it is AI only
• The condition for disbandment is no war with major players AND no minor cities in expansion area (the latter is needed because these units are supposed to help expanding into independent territory too)
• I don't think it can be cheesed because it's an AI only mechanic, the only possible player interference is to prolong a war with the AI to let it keep the units for longer.

I made use of it when I played some multiplayer games with my friends back in the day; It pauses the turn timer.

Yeah I was about to ask why you would ever need this, but then I remembered multiplayer. I never played Civ4 MP.

Did you mean to hammer Thalassocracy this hard?

Nope, sorry. The intent was to penalize non Merchant Trade economy civics (that said, I should have also permitted Reciprocity...). This is what happens when you implement so many changes at once, some things fall through the cracks.

 

[Bernd-das-Brot]

I can start other civs (tested Egypt 3000 BC and China 600 AD).

 

[StuartKleinsen]

Can't get past the first turn when playing Germany 1700AD heir/normal. Didn't try other civs/starts yet, just wanted to report before heading off to work
