Kandy suzerain bonus

[nrh]

I started a bugtest build on mapsize ludicrous using a mod Yet Not Another Map Pack.
55 city states + 6 random civs.

anyway... my first suzerain status was with Kandy since they were right next door to me. Then I proceeded to discover 7 natural wonders over the course of 100 turns.

"Receive a Relic every time you discover a new natural wonder.
Earn +50% bonus Faith from all Relics."

The relic bonus is working but I'm not receiving a new relic. I'm Rome so I have 1 relic in the capital. I read somewhere else that it's based on relic slots. Someone else suggested it's because you need to be the first to discover the natural wonder. Can confirm I'm the first on almost all of these... but can't confirm on relic slots. Anyone think it's just YnAMP? Ideas, please. Anyone ever get this suzerain bonus to work?

If you don't have relic slots then you can't gain a relic.

You definitely need a relic slot - do you have any temples? If not, the palace is the only place (and there's only room for one there).

You don't need to be the first to discover them from what I recall - though you need to be the suzerian of Kandy before you discover them for sure.

And that answers that. There is now an actual thread somewhere online containing the answer for noobs to Kandy's suzerain bonus without any speculation. Voila (should edit the title to also contain the word Relic so others can more easily find it) Too bad I lost so many possible relics.

IIRC, there are some bug issues when combining Kandy's bonus with Kongo's ability. I think the numbers also looked odd when combining Kandy with Reliquaries + St Basil's Cathedral.

It's even worse: If you don't have a free slot to receive the relic when discovering a new Wonder, it will be gifted to the first AI with a free slot.

I had a game recently when this happened. I was Jadwiga (relics provide +4 Gold +2 Culture and +2 Faiths) so was really excited with having Kandy close-by and went all for it. I discovered many wonders before finding other Civs and when I started meeting with them I was intrigued to see that they all had a relic, and then after the 3rd or 4th in a row I realized that they got them because I had no room for them.

Moral of the story: build up your temples, I guess?

Wow!! I knew a game as big and beautiful as this would have bugs... there are tons of little things to fix and change. I'm totally amazed by this game and really love it, and the modding feature. I think it's hugely underrated. but the bugs like that make me really sad, because I know the developers can easily fix that. but it's okay. I believe in them and I know they'll come through. I hope they fix this up before they release Civ 7 because Civ 6 makes me really happy.

There's also a limit to the amount of relics in the game. 24 I believe.

That bug is crazy!

Sometimes it seems like I get nothing from tribal huts, wonder if i occasionally get a relic but have no slots?

Would be nice if you could keep your extra relics/works in storage providing zero bonus until the slot becomes available.
