So I made this nice 8 civ custom map for v.25 - every single tile handcrafted and nearly finished for release -, but I simply can't get it working with v.30 and the latest patch (dll date 12/31/07) installed.

At first I got immediate CTDs upon loading the WBsave, which I was able to fix by just changing the old CIVICOPTION_EDUCATION to the approriate council-civic (using WordPad). This seemed to work for a while, until I noticed that in the pre-built capitals there were no resources at all - neither from the palace, nor from later connected resources. Strange bug, and what's worse, the game is only stable for some minutes until it crashes for unknown reasons, without any specific action from my side.
So I removed two of the cities and replaced them with the appropriate settlers (even added the starting settler promotion). The result was that both of these civilization are "defeated" on turn one, no matter if controlled by me or the AI.

I'm completely lost now... I even made another WB-scenario with exactly the same leaders and civs, and compared practically every line in Wordpad with my scenario, without finding a hint to what could possibly cause these bugs. Removing every "world improvement" didn't change anything btw.

Never had a problem or even ctd with this map in 25, never with "play now" games in 30, and, funny enough, the map loads without complaints into unmodded BTS 3.13...

Any ideas?
 
i think you need to change the number of civs too, it was lowered from 39 to 34 or some such.. compare your 0.25 scenario with a 0.30 scenario to get best info

also, if you placed any barb units remove them since theyll be placed using the 39th slot since barbs are last
