that doesn't sound like what he's asking. I've had this happen to me once and I put it down to the religion switch but as you say you didn't do this, i'm not sure.

Under the resolutions tab does it say who the resident is?
Otherwise either restart or wait for the next election (i think its something like 14 turns)

Sry - I confound president with leader. Nevertheless I never had this problem ...

I am 2nd now with 1430AD. Played the strategy mentioned above, but not planing well ahead. I researched too much and made the mistake of trying to get as many religions as possible. So the other continent was totally Budhist and I don't need the different missionaries for false-religion-spread. I will try another one not focusing on religions. So the civs on the other continents may have some fights belonging to different religion-blocks

PS: What is the current date to beat?

I believe ssjos has 960 or something. I have tried again several times, but Ramses always beats me to the AP. I will be happy if I can keep 3rd, but will keep trying in order to do my best to ensure I keep it.

I was supposed to be packing and moving out of my apartment and getting ready to travel for a few months, but you all know how it is.

Ouch - this will be very tough to reach - even with "low sea" I needed caravels, and by conquering the initial continent I had to drop the science slider ...

With my tries I never had some1 else building AP. I am always going for Oracle->Theology and then chopping AP in capital.

Wish you a nice trip

Oracle for CS, tech for optics and then get theology

hello all after an 8 months break its time to come back to these gauntlets

I submitted a 1440 AD win - would have been 9 turns earlier if my last religion spread would not have fallen into the same turn of the vote and thus canceled it this bug should be gone in 3.17

anyway: I started out with Rameses, Saladin and Justinian on one continent - and we where a happy hindu family apart from five turns during which I switched to christianity to complete the AP in the one true faith - after that I spread christianity throughout the continent but making sure to not spread it to so many cities that one of the others would switch out of hinduism - all 3 of my buddies voted me to the win with me having just about half of the necessary votes myself...

so thats what causes the bug though I think changing out of the AP religion also triggers it.
thats a really bad design flaw

 

[ori]

the bug I am referring to is one where adding a new member to the UN or the AP (by colony formation or religion spread) on the turn of a vote causes this vote to be canceled - in case of the first resident/secretary general vote it even disables the AP/UN if it happens. This bug should be fixed in 3.17 - I have not seen it happen by religion changes and I don't believe that it works this way.
The real design flaw was using Vanilla code (for the voting) and not updating it to the BtS features that allow for new members to arise (in Vanilla and Warlords its impossible for this situation to occur) - but then again there is no use to about things that should be fixed by now

Hi Ori, welcome back

never heard of this bug, but well, this could explain some strange behaviour in my games, where I expected a vote and it never comes up

Had a great start for this one, 5 FP, 2 gold, corn and cows. Oracled Theology and had the AP in 150BC. 500 AD had optics. Spread Confucianism to the other continent by 950AD and got the vote in 1150AD. 8 votes short since Monty converted in time for the vote.

Thats when the "fun" began. For the next vote Rammy, converted and had spammed conf. so it was a split vote. Then he moved into the palace but wouldn't proposed a vote. I spammed the dominant religion to him and used a spy to convert him but then he changed right back. I used another spy (third try) to get him back to hindu for good. Good the palace back and had friendly with all but monty for a win in 1760 (Blah).

For that reason I normally conquer my starting continent and going for self-vote. This costs something around 200 years, but it gives a guaranteed win.

Good plan. I'd try that but it looks like I ran out of time working on my Rock of Ages for my EQM (still can't get the modern win on monarch).

Don't feel too bad. I wasn't able to finish a Space Colony game before the update either. That is the only thing I need to be (Warlord) EQM. I think that my Space Colony game for QM was won on a duel map.

 

[unclethrill]

Even with the lovely wife out still no luck?

Finished it, maybe even in time for the update. I decided to drop from Monarch to Warlord for an easy Space Colony victory since Warlord is the highest level of EQM that I can finish this update. My Rock of Ages is complete for Monarch though...Askoka didn't beat me to a spaceship victory .
