I would....but it seems to have fixed itself. I wish it was earlier, 'cause otherwise I wouldn't have forgotten, and it was pretty bizarre....

If I patch to 'g' without getting the 3.17 upgrade, will it still work?

Also... what happened to 'f'? We seem to have passed it right over.

"f" was internal only (basically its everything before the 3.17 conversion so I had a decent cut of everything before merging with Alex's changes).

I see the problem with the amurite archmage, it will be fixed in patch "h".

In worldbuilder I found a unit called 'Spiderkin'. This unit has a civilopedia entry, but can only be entered from the Beastmaster entry, which he replaces. I believe he is a Fall Further unit,. Is he supposed to be in.

If he is supposed to be in, mouseover and pedia doesn't tell which civ he's a UU for.

Its intentional that its in, and intentional that its hidden.

yea well if you see it again, make sure you get a screenshot of it.

@Kael: What the heck happened that got the archmage messed up and messed up Govannon's animation? just wondering.

4. Wonder now correctly does a random 305 effects (instead of always 5).

Three Hundred and Five effects?! That seems a little much.

Anyone playing on Vista 32-bit, with ATI Radeon HD3800 series card?

I am using Catalyst all along, just upgraded to Catalyst 8.6 today. At first my system locks up a lot - I found it to be a problem with the card overheating, and solved it by using ATI Tool (the beta version for Vista) to override fan speed.

That got me running fine for a while. At first, I can play CIV and FFH0.31 without problems. Then when updating to FFH0.32, I found a new problem in the video card driver - it wasn't responding and Vista decided to restart it. This driver restart problem is very common -- just google and you'll see -- but among all my games, it only happens in FFH. Yes, just FFH, I can play CIV without problems. My other games are fine too, including "The Witcher" (a very pretty 3D RPG), Portal, Sacred Underworld (3D Diablo clone), Oblivion and Heroes of Might and Magic V (3D TBS).

I tuned down the graphics level in FFH0.32, from 1600x1200 to 1024x768. Then the problem disappeared. I upgraded to BtS 3.17 and FFH0.32g today, and it's happening again (in 1024x768).

It happens very quickly in every FFH0.32 game. Usually just a turn or two. The screen would freeze while the video driver was being restarted. I would have a few seconds afterwards, before another video driver restart. Then I tried vanilla BtS. I played for about 80 turns without problems.

I don't think the difference is that large between vanilla BtS and FFH0.32g... it's just a few turns, there're very little going on in the screen. Still the card is all stressed out and the video driver died...

I'm not sure where the problem is... anyone having the same problem?

The pedia entry for Wonder is alittle messed up with ARAGRAPH:1 everywhere.

 

[Wyrmhero]

Patch E, but I don't think its been addressed.

Life Nodes require Divination to build, even though they are used to build the Tower Of Alteration.

The event with "the corrupt merchant" have the text UNHAPPY_ICON/HAPPY_ICON (or something similar but I guess misspelled) instead of an unhappy icon/happy icon on the two last choices and

I know that the Infernal is most of the time a big joke, but something must have happen, because I can't kill Hyborem (the unit), he goes down to 2.8 something and I keep attack and it looks that I win (I don't die) but no, nothing. Can somebody else confirm this.

 

[MagisterCultuum]

Hyborem starts with the Immortal promotion, so he should be reborn in their capital once. He does not get the promotion back, so you should be able to truly kill him the second time.

 

[DemonMaster]

I have been outside that damn city for a while now. The first time I killed him was actually outside the city.

Edit: Since I have killed him more than a dozen times now, I don't think he looses his immortal promotion when he is ressurected. He goes down from 2.8 to 0.1 and then I attack again and he goes up again to 2.8, and on and on and on ...

Hi I installed patch G and now the game is unplayable to me All the units and resources are oversized and "Single unit graphics" toggle doesnt work anymore, they are all single unit giants. Everything else seems normal though.

You have adventure mode on. Are you sure you haven't modded any files?

I found the problem. To fix your specific save game you will need to:

1. Apply patch "h" (which will come out later today).
2. Go into worldbuilder and give hyborem the immortal promotion and then take it away (this will get him back into the configuration he is supposed to have).

You could of course just delete Hyborem with the worldbuilder as well, but its not one of those issues that I can fix with a patch once its broke (well I could but I dont want to include repair code that runs all the time just to fix these instances).

I think that is exactly what Lance of Llawn might have been seeing. Except for the part about tall grass.

Hey guys. This is my first ever post. Anyway, I'm playing the FFH 2 mod with the latest official 3.17 patch and the 0.32 g patch. I am currently playing as the Amunorites. After building the pagan temple in two cities, I noticed that my incense resource is not giving me the +1 happiness. Also, the incense icon is not showing in the upper right even though I have it! Is this a random bug or what?

 

[smjjames]

I think the incence resource doesn't activate until you get Priesthood. I may be wrong on this.

Anyways, welcome to the Civ Fanatics forums and welcome to the FFH2 community!

edit: isn't that the incence icon right below the fire mana icon?

 

[MLBN]

Yes, I built a plantation over the incense resource and it is connected to all my cities with roads.

 

[smjjames]

yea I figured that out when I took a second look at your screenshot and removed that comment.

I'll check it out really quick with WB, I THINK it doesn't activate until priesthood. It's like mining lets you see copper, but you can't use it until bronze working.
