Congresses missing?

[brucedecatz]

Do people still see congresses? I have played 6 games with different Civs and did not see once a congress.

I saw one playing the Inca, but only in the messagebox because I was too weak to be invited.

I just played Ethiopia until 1955. No congresses.

Ive played as Ethiopia and Japn and had numerous conferences in both (last one in 1955 as Japan), but they didnt start till 1860ish.

Playing as Japan I received 3 cities frim China. In general, there seem to be more cities changing hands at conferences in my experience

 

[Barak]

Playing as England. No congresses through 1930.

Odd. In the last last patch (1.182) congress used to start after America spawns.....

Maybe the slower tech rate is resposible?

 

[Walliard]

Did Rhye make it so more civs require nationalism? They used to start when America spawns because they were usually the first to have it.

 

[LukeUeda-Sarson]

I thought it took 3 Civs to have nationalism before congresses would start.

Cheers, Luke

Just two, I think. And I usually see Congresses start before America spawns, although not always long before. Sometimes I'm trying to avoid researching Nationalism to stave off respawns.

I've played a couple of games as america and no congresses ever took place.

Ditto.

Was there a change to the code for congresses? Maybe something got commented out because the dates got changes? If so it might be an easy fix.

 

[Rhye]

There was no change.
I suspect that a different problem (the python exception on American UP) may break other events happening in the same turn.
Please try to replace
utils.getFakeRandNum(30, 'random')
with
gc.getGame().getSorenRandNum(30, 'random')
inside UniquePowers.py
and see if it happens again

sorry if this question is unnecessary-I haven't looked at the file yet- if there is more than one instance, do we change them all?

 

[Rhye]

there is only one

 

[JediClemente]

Yes. That solved the bug. Thank you Rhye!

 

[The Q-Meister]

Oops. Should have checked the thread before asking in the Questions and Answers section.

I have just completed the German UHV in 1998 and I did not see World Congresses there or in any other game with the latest patch.

 

[cider]

Will there again be a small patch to solve some minor bugs and issues ?

 

[Rhye]

yes there will be, but not for now.
RAND comes first.
