[FIXED] 49-turn Golden Age?

[Knayr]

I'm playing on normal speed, as Persia. My save file is a turn late, but just a moment ago I completed the Taj Mahal. With Persia, Golden Age length is extended by 50%, and I'm also in control of Chichen Itza, which adds another 50%. I was expecting a 20-or-so duration Golden Age, but when it popped up I was surprised to see it start at 49. I completed that turn, just to see if it would adjust down to a more reasonable level, but it only counted down by one turn.

Here's a save file.

Oh, and also an autosave that takes place a few turns before I popped a Great Engineer for the Taj.

Crazy.

I think what is happening here is that the Golden Age bonuses are (incorrectly) applied twice to the Taj.

I was India with Chichen Itza and built the Taj Mahal. I got a 22 turn golden age (10 * 1.5 * 1.5). As Persia, you got a 49-turn golden age (10 * 1.5 * 1.5 * 1.5 * 1.5). 10, 15, 22, 33, 49.

 

[ainwood]

Certainly looks strange.

I noticed that the XML text for Chichen Itza references the Taj Mahal!

and the XML for Taj Mahal references teh Pyramids.

..In game, the correct text is shown. Maybe these tags aren't used?

Nothing in the XML to reference Taj Mahal increasing the length of a GA.

 

[Mallipeep]

The tags are used allright, if you look at the CIV5GameTextInfos_Jon.xml you see such lines:

<!-- If your name is not Jon Shafer, please don't add anything to this file. -->

<Row Tag="TXT_KEY_WONDER_TAJ_MAHAL_HELP">
            <Text>Length of [ICON_GOLDEN_AGE] Golden Ages increased by 50%</Text>
</Row>


<Row Tag="TXT_KEY_WONDER_PYRAMIDS_HELP">
	<Text>The empire enters a [ICON_GOLDEN_AGE] Golden Age.</Text>
</Row>

 

[Knayr]

Wow, all kinds of inconsistencies and bugs up in here!

 

[Anastomosis]

Actually, it's because the same aliens that created the Chichen Itza also helped with the Taj Mahal. Jon Shafer and the creators of Civ V are just acknowledging this.

 

[player1 fanatic]

I just got this.

Nice...

I knew getting Darius was good idea.
