Conquest 05: Saves Now Available

[AlanH]

Look at it closely; the tops of the letters in "Agricultural" are visible under "Expansionist." I bet the text box in CivAssist just isn't big enough to handle "Expansionist, Agricultural," which is one letter longer than "Expansionist, Industrious," the Americans, who, before Conquests, had the most letters in their traits. Just a bug in CivAssist, not in the game.

There's also a comma after the "Expansionist". That's a clear indication that it's followed by a second trait, and as you've been advised by the eagle-eyed fog gazers, it has wrapped onto a second line that doesn't have any room.

However, as Ainwood is out of town and not able to verify this first hand, I've double checked by analysing your QSC submission. I can confirm that you were playing with a full deck, and your save has both traits set.

Thanks, I was get info for the first spoiler post when it opens. I'm writing it now while the game is fresh in my mind. I think this is the first time I went to the general info tab.

I went back and opened some autosaves and it looks like I was "Agricultural".

Did I play the whole game as expansionist trait only?

Humm, why does it say C3C v 1.15 f in that picture you attached ? Arent we supposed to play with 1.22 version

Good catch . I wondered about that, too, but it was late so I didn't follow it up. I've now checked using the CivAssist I have and it correctly shows 1.22f if you give it a 1.22f file. I'll investigate the differences between 1.15 and 1.22 to see if they are game breakers. Meanwhile please can everyone ensure they are playing with the 1.22 patch.

lurker's comment: That is correct. I will add that to the 'to fix' list

Don Vito, what I cannot see I your screenschot of CivAssist is a Version Number in the lower left corner. That means your are using one of the very first versions. I'd say: get yourself 1.0.10! Currently you are stirring up the thread by blaming the recent Cotm game for bugs of an outdated civtool. that's pretty boring. sorry, but it will be this simple, please get yourself the lastest CivAssist Version and all 'errors' will vanish. the link is in ainwoods sig.

happy civving, bluebox

@bluebox: It wasn't Don Vito's screenshot, it was Randy's. And Randy says he downloaded CivAssist last week.

But you're right! He must have a version older than 1.0.5, which displays its version and is what I was using. I've d/l'd version 1.0.10, and it shows the two traits perfectly. It also shows Randy's QSC file as being version 1.22f.

PS. I believe version 1.15 will not even open a 1.22 start file, so it's unlikely anyone could play the wrong version. Our records show no one has submitted a 1.15 file.

Nice start, i got the best 1000BC results i ever had

I amazed myself

 

[Randy]

Thank everone for the help.

I did play in version 1.22f. I'll check to see if I down loaded the wrong CivAssist last week.

Sorry for stirring the pot.

Hey, This is the first time I participate in COTM. Now I had an incredible game but I realised I didn't do the backup saves at the specific time periods (1000bc etc.). I'm curently about 700ad. Am I allowed to restart or what should I do??? Thanx

Quote myself *who needs to read COTM rules, I know how to play civ....* Damn it....

Someone else just asked this.
You are not alowed to replay.
Just submit.
If your game doesn't look suspicious, they probably won't ask you for the saves.
If you have any other saves, just keep those. It doesn't need to be the exact years.

@Rhymes: As WackenOpenAir says, here's my previous post on the subject in this thread.

 

[Cat Behemoth]

I've downloaded just predator save of COTM-5 and have been just now finished by conquesting at 1000AD. But when I've submitted my save it says that the entry class is open. Is it a common bug of this game or just mine?

 

[AlanH]

I've checked the Predator start file and it does appear that the signature is incorrectly set to Open.

Thanks for spotting that. We'll re-process the files to determine the correct class before we publish the results for this game. The score you were given still stands, of course.

Apologies for the error.

 

[Butzull]

Hi all,

I'm still quite new to the game and not all that good yet, but I think this'll help my progress in the game when I get to compare my mistakes with the masters when it's all said and done. I'm in!

Butz. groucho

It would have been too much to ask to get everything right, wouldnt it? I am pretty-sure I put the correct open/predator/conquest resources in though....

 

[AlanH]

So our second stage processing should find them, right?

 

[ainwood]

So our second stage processing should find them, right?

I hope so....

@ignas - your post was deleted, 'cause it was a spoiler. Please use the appropriate spoiler threads for them. Thanks.

 

[Doc Tsiolkovski]

Yea, was pretty surprised to see 'Open' when I submitted. Good to know I wasn't to keen to play to get the right (Predator) file .

I just submitted my QSC, and it's the same problem there (though you (Ainwood and AlanH) probably already realized that). I am sure I played predator, but the submission confirmation syas 'open'....
