Major bug found: no culture when killing barbs WITH honor

[Eyeoftiger]

Have been playing for about an hour now, and I selected "Honor" to get a culture bonus for killing barbs (playing with aggressive barbs). Killing a barb brute now grants +8 culture, but that +8 doesn't get added to your total. I was sitting at 26 culture with +7 for each turn. I killed a brute, and it stayed at 26, and on the next turn, it was 33.

Who else is seeing this? Surely it isn't just me.

Do have you a save and screenshot?

 

[snoochems]

If this is true, I would almost be embarrassed for Firaxis. How can something so obvious be missed?

 

[The_Tyrant]

Nope. In my Huns game, I got 8 culture for barbarian warriors and 4 for archers (marathon).

Is it a bug introduced by last patch of Vanilla civ5 or it is confirmed to be also in the expansion?

I suspect it's just that all the effects of the combat, including culture gained, are immediately displayed when you initiate combat, instead of after the combat finishes as was previously the case. This could lead you to conclude that you missed out on the culture if you were looking to see the change at the usual time.

Since this new patch, it doesn't give me culture points for killing barbs when I selected the Honor Civic.

If animations are on, then this is the case.

Honour definitely gives culture (and gold) from killing barbs. Faith too if you have the right unit/pantheon. It was tested a few times

I can confirm in the game I started last night that with Honour on (as the Japanese), barbs were giving me *plenty* of Culture. I wasn't expecting 8 culture per Brute.

Unless your game save says otherwise, I suspect you're mistaken.

So, what is it now? An animation issue, yes?

 

[Joeexplorer]

I've checked my culture before combat. And it's not giving it to me. I have all original content; no mods whatsoever. I've started several new games and it doesn't give it to me.

I thought maybe it would add it in on the next turn but it doesn't do that either.

I have confirmed that I am having the same issue, and have been since Steam patched it several days ago. I was hoping the G+K game would fix this issue, but it did not.

I am very surprised that more people are not having this issue.

So, what is it now? An animation issue, yes?

Unless people are sure they're experiencing actually not getting culture, it would appear so.

With how animations now work, though, you will often see the results of things before an animation is finished, though. For example, if you take a city, you will gain line of sight before the combat animation is finished.

 

[Eyeoftiger]

Played again last night for awhile, and I confirmed that I am receiving culture, but unlike the version of the game prior to Gods and Kings (which awarded you the culture after the battle), you get your culture and experiencing immediately upon choosing to attack, so it's incredibly easy to miss.

So, I guess it's a presentation issue, not technically a bug. It's incredibly annoying nonetheless.

And Brutes are giving +8 culture BTW.

 

[Joeexplorer]

No guys, you're missing what I am saying.

I check my culture before I even decide to do battle. I do the battle, kill the barb and still no culture. I wait until next turn still no culture. It's not animation.

 

[Camikaze]

Do you a save or screenshot(s) so this can be verified?

 

[liv]

I did the math
How much culture point I should be getting before and after my barbarian killing
And in the next turn the barbarian rewards were not included in my culture total
(unless I am missing something) this is a bug

 

[BranjoHello]

Worked fine for me, even in combination with +gold for each kill.

 

[ytqty]

I have the same bug!!!! I've only started playing Civ 5 since Gods and Kings has released.... This is so bothering!!! I can't believe I played 2 whole games with Honor tree and only just found out now that I did not receive ANY CULTURE per barbarian killed.... And even worse, I've googled for hours and still hasn't found a real solution to this bug!!! I can't believe this is happening! someone help please!!!!!

 

[Pfeffersack]

Can anyone of those who a sure that they don't get culture post a save from before such a combat?
