For several months (after updating to 1.45 48civs ) I have the problem, that when playing multiplayer with K-Mod when a new turn starts, I (the client) lose connection to the server (exit now dialog).
For as long as I remember I always got "Waiting to hear..." message for a few seconds and then both could play the new turn. Is this handled in the dll or can't be fixed changed within this mod?

Thanks a lot DarkLuna, really happy for your help

Giant Earth Map (4x huge), but I play this for years now and the "exit now" is new to me.
@karadoc I see that there are some new things (not present in K-Mod v1.45) on MMod github repository. Are those things going to find their way into new K-Mod release or K-Mod gihub repository anytime soon(ish)? I would like to add them to my modmod(s) and play the game with those included, but I don't think that would be okay before they are "officially" available in K-Mod.
Thanks. You're right about both of those problems; and they aren't easy things to spot. The i vs j typo is a particularly sneaky mistake. It's difficult to tell at a glance whether or not it is actually wrong (because you have to have a clear understanding of how tech_paths and the loops are meant to work), and the consequences of the bug are not obvious. So thanks for picking that up. I hadn't spotted it myself. (I basically wrote all that stuff in one shot, and haven't played a game on it myself.)
Anything that is in MMod that isn't specific to MMod will be in K-Mod. I've been intending to upload a new version "soon" for some weeks now; but I'm just making very slow progress, and new things keep popping up. The new new tech AI will certainly be in K-Mod. (Not the one I posted a dll for earlier, but an even newer one that f1rpo is posting fixes for.)

Ah thanks. I had an out of date bookmark or something.

When opening the scoreboard (with the graphs), would it be possible to modify the Wealthiest civ gauge - from current gold amount, to something like gold per turn?
It always bugged me that the graph displays the pool of gold, meaning it's pretty useless, and also spikes up and down depending on things like unit upgrades - instead of referencing the total wealth accumulated per turn which would be a lot more relevant and useful.

The GNP curve on the Info screen? That's total commerce, i.e. research rate plus culture rate plus espionage rate plus gold income. Should really be labeled "GNP (Commerce)" instead of "GNP (Gold)". I think the fluctuation results mostly from reassigned citizens. (Or is there another gold curve somewhere? The popup about the top 5 wealthiest civs is based on gold in the treasury, but other than that ...)
I'm wondering if K-Mod has addressed the issue where players can easily exploit the AI to capture workers in any way. Typically it is very easy to walk up to the borders of an AI you are at peace with, and then capture some of their workers in a surprise attack. This is rather powerful in the early game where workers are very valuable and the means of the AI to retaliate are limited. I assume the vanilla AI does not consider foreign units a threat unless you are at war, maybe that should be changed if workers are concerned, so they can retreat and work non-threatened tiles. But I'm not sure if K-Mod already addressed this problem.

It's been a while since I played and I didn't examine the code regarding this either, but it always seemed to me that the K-Mod AI was more careful with its workers. Not perfectly, but then again, I think it enriches the game when the AI can make mistakes too.
There could be improvements in K-Mod for Worker behavior when at war, but I don't think there's any code to anticipate a sneak attack on a Worker. See the attached screenshot; the Worker did not flee to safety and no Archer emerged from the city, not even when I added a third one and set it to UNITAI_RESERVE. Looking at the code, there's still the BtS check for CvPlayerAI::AI_isPlotThreatened at the beginning of AI_workerMove, and isPlotThreatened counts only present war enemies. I'm not aware of a routine for guarding Workers either, though e.g. guardBonus can coincidentally guard a Worker. The K-Mod AI also doesn't declare war in order to steal Workers (CvUnitAI::AI_poach is never called), which is probably for the better.

I was considering that as far as workers are concerned, every foreign unit that is not in your territory may be considered a threat. Foreign units that are in your territory due to OBs would be evicted before they could attack. But as I mentioned above, that still would not be a perfect solution because the AI would likely be too cautious then.
