Hi Pie
Thank you for this patch. Presume I have to delete the old maps as per previous patches?

[pie_at]

No. The 9 included will replace them.

Changelog Patch 7.3

-) Hunters are cheaper and can build a hunting camp (=camp). this will disband the unit.
-) AI spreads donkeys
-) \\\"\\\" bug probably fixed
-) Bugfix: Your computer does not have the recommended system specifications, but for that, I had to remove the PlayerOptions for animal movements
-) Judaism will not remove pagan religions in cities (researched)
-) Church building only possible from the Edict of Toleration (ca. 311 AD)
-) standing armies on river ford checked
-) AI no longer goes exploring so early

Thanks for the update and generally for the continued work on this awesome mod! The AI improvements are most welcome (especially the donkeys !).

Also as I learned the hard way... this last patch is not save compatible.

 

[pie_at]

Ah yes, that's true. Sorry, I didn't mention that. It is not save compatible because I removed player options, I removed definitions of missing fonts (still a BTS bug), and gave the hunter the possibility to create camps. these are hard xml changes.

Morning Pie
Thanks for the new VII. The game hangs on turn 17 for me. Never had this before. However I notice a new downlaod dated 15th ie yesterday which I will download and will let you know if the problem cures itself. R

 

[pie_at]

oh... ok, strange.... I will have a look. I suppose it's the AI hunter....
I just added the patch 7.3 into the full version. So, both should have the same bug..... a never ending story with strange bugs...

 

[rjsalpha]

Could be, played again with the latest download and the hunters were fine. Got to turn 51 this time and then it hung with the Most Cultured Nations declaration. It did allow me to save game though with the globe whirling. R

 

[pie_at]

Yep, I am still checking the CvUnitAI::AI_improveBonus function in CvUnitAI. The endless turn is hidden somewhere in there.

 

[rjsalpha]

Thanks Pie

 

[pie_at]

I got it.

Patch 7.4 is in the first post.
It fixes:
-) TradeAdvisor: Trading Units Buttons
-) Endless turn (AI hunters)

 

[rjsalpha]

Thanks very much Pie. Will I have to delete the maps folder so I can get Brechmitts maps? Presume I do as per your dialogue. Thanks again for a fab mod Pie......

 

[pie_at]

No, please don't delete the PrivateMaps folder. The maps all work with the current version. In patch 7.4 there are some maps included that have to be replaced.
So, you shall only unzip the patch in a temp folder and then copy/paste it over the existing Pie'sAncientEurope folder in the BTS/mod folder.

 

[Bandenere]

I downloaded all the latest patch and copy on old mod direcory, game won't start .... then deleted the old folder and re-extracted clean. Started a new game and i am on turn 493 - 714 BC and all working fine without a single problem. I am playing with Carthaginian, i am having a lot of fun!

GREAT GREAT mod! Thank you!!!

 

[pie_at]

That's very good news! Keep me posted.

(strange that the patch caused troubles, but good to hear that it works in the end, the full version has included patch 7.4)
Notice (for everyone): please, dont' rename the mod (it has to be called Pie'sAncientEurope) and place the mod into the original BTS/mods folder and not into the MyDocuments/MyGames folder.

Now that you say that, i remember i overwrited on the previous folder which was named something like "PieAncientEuropeVI" and of course it did not work, then when i re-extract in empty directory i also changed the folder name to match the one in the zip. Probably it would have worked also without deleting the original folder (if i had used the correct folder name which is indeed "Pie'sAncientEurope" for the latest update).

 

[pie_at]

Yes, PieAncientEuropeVI and Pie'sAncientEurope is different!

PieAncientEuropeVI ist for WINDOWS and MAC users (if you want to play MP with a mac user).

Pie'sAncientEurope (maybe I call it PieAncientEuropeVII, but I am not 100% sure) is for WINDOWS gamers only.

 

[pie_at]

If there is anyone who would like to write me a comprehensive and positive review of PAEVII that I can add to About PAE, I would be very happy!
(at least if there are no bugs anymore...)

 

[pie_at]

It's time again. The most bug-free and best version so far!
