New Version - June 25th (6/25)

Hey all,

New official version inbound, a mix of balance and AI improvements/bugfixes. Here's the changelog:

New version online as of 11:15pm EST. Version is not savegame compatible. Download link can be found in 'How to Install' thread.

Cheers,
Gazebo

 

Thank you!

 

Thanks for the non-stop efforts in reaching this game's potential, Gazebo, Ilteroi, Putmalk and countless others in this community which provided code and essential feedback

 

Gonna give it a go right away.

 

The crash in the first couple of turns seems to be back. Made a post about it on Github.

 

Quite odd, as I've now run a half dozen games on this one with nary a crash. Same spot (your minidump) as before, but no evidence as to why. I'll keep my eyes open. Meanwhile, you can disable patrol moves by setting AI_HOMELAND_MOVE_PRIORITY_PATROL to -1 in the Community Patch/Core Files/Core Changes/CoreChanges.sql file.

Thanks will give it a try. I got the turn two crash as well but it could be because I am running double the number of civs and have increased the city spacing. I'll check back if I find something concrete.

 

Just FYI, small merge snafu with 6-25 CP. Reuploading now (yawn), fixing savegame load issue. Memory pointer, so boinkers to any games you are working on (unless you marathon the thing and never save). Sorry, this is what I get for having a bailey's while finishing a merge!

I know capping God of All Creation to +8/+8 helps on big maps, but the pantheon is still ridiculously overpowered on standard maps with 8 civs. If AI would stop ignoring Stonehenge and getting religion as a player wouldn't be guaranteed regardless of pantheon, things might be different. Right now God of All Creation gives huge early game yields and you will safely get a religion with it as well.

 

Great work, as always.

One thing however, I'm currently a bit off, but I don't see any bugfixes/changes mentioning the Mausoleum/Celestial throne holy-site issue or the broken Egypt UA.
Were they fixed anyways or was this skipped over for some intentional/unintentional reason?

 

For me it Randomly CTD all the time, latest version 6/25-1 Non EUI version
autoinstaller, i did clear cache and all those things!


only other 2 mods is

No Mechs V3
Really advanced setup v15

i upload savegame with these 2 mods and non EUI version i think it´s turn
25 and game will crash 26

 

I changed AI_HOMELAND_MOVE_PRIORITY_PATROL.
There is no crash.

 

They were fixed. Part of yields fixes and religious building fixes.

Please do not post this here. Post on GitHub.

Technically this was not a re-balancing, since the yields were just straight up missing, and technically they are wonders not buildings, but whatever I'll let you win this one .


By the way the Roman UB ingame and in text-box still gives conflicting information, the textbox and civpedia claim the yields on kill are supposed to be 5, ingame value is 3.

 

I got science from improved iron.

Spoiler :

 

Thank you!

 

Hey, thanks for the update!

Sorry if this is off topic, but is VP compatible with the Mod Support version of Flag Promotions? Or just the base version?

 

Nice nice nice.

I like the choice to 'focus' the polynesia UA

 

Just in time for my next game, hehehe. Thanks !

 

Also (sorry if this is old news I haven't been playing VP in a few months), is it normal that your first city starts off with about 100ish hammers (playing on Marathon)? I just started a game as Carthage and was shocked to find I could build a scout in about 4 turns since my city already had a bunch of hammers stored.
