That's so odd.. yes I'm sure it was working because I even deleted everything at one point (including MOD folder) and re-installed it because I was getting paranoid that could be the case... AI behavior was VASTLY different for me in the 8-18 version which is why I kept posting about it on here and github. Only in 8-18 though - all previous versions were fine and this one looks fine too. I have spent >9000 hours playing Civ 5 so I trust my senses that something is off. :) Anyway, it seems fine now in this first game at least.

Military threatening, territorial dispute, competing for world wonders NEVER showed up for me in the 8/18 version - at least in the 5-7 games I played with it. Only one that showed up was the social policy difference. Now w/ this new version they are BACK! The AI finally has a personality now and once again gives a damn about negative modifiers. So happy.

I saw ALL of those normally in EVERY August version, so sorry, there goes your absolute. :D

(you know, only one example in contrary is enough to destroy any absolute argument...)

I don't know, maybe something was off with my install.. what's the best way to ensure a clean install other than deleting the cache and mods folders? I always use the auto installer.

I don't trust ANY installer. I delete everything myself first and only then I use the installer.

What do you do exactly? Delete the cache and Mods folders in my games >civ 5 and then run the auto-installer? (I swear I did try that in previous version) Is there anything more to it? Will keep it in mind for next time.

cache folder, every folder pertaining to the VP mod (6), and Moduserdata folder empty.
 
Got a Japanese game going. Tradition => Aesthetics, B-lining Writers' guilds, then dojos, then samurai.

The game crashed to desktop (thus here I am typing) but I'm kinda wondering if I'll get an ideology before the industrial era. :lol:

Ran another quick test game and found the renewal bug (one squashed, yet another reared head).

Fixed it, uploading a new hotfix (savegame compatible) now. :)

jeez, man, now you are not only faster than my play in patching your beast, but also in testing it... :lol::lol::lol:

Figured it might be a hair overtuned, but that's my style: if it is weak, no one will test it! :)

(Just FYI You can't actually get an ideology before industrial, even if you have the policy req. for it.)

CTD may be related to my first hotfix - reinstall VP and see if you can get past it.

Total fluke that I hit the renew bug in a quick 100 turn test. Sometimes you get lucky.

What the heck was it? Looked like some counter for the available AI luxes was not being updated before the AI would try to renew, resulting in AI thinking it still had only 1 lux available...
 
Wow, if that was your AWOL it certainly wasn't long, I was expecting something like a month or more. Thanks for the great updates, had some great time with the last version :)

I had the exact same experience as oedali, so it seems unlikely to just have been a local mishap.
 
Wow - hell of a backlog you cleared up, and just in time for the end of the summer!

Thank you for the great work (and to the intrepid coders Iamblichos and Ilteroi), and hope that you have something fun going on this last summer weekend.

Cheers!

Hoooooooooooo, boy! This all looks amazing. Of course I'm in the middle of a game, though! Ah, well. Time to scrap yet ANOTHER. xD
