No building production bug?

[Raider62]

Hello,

3 person MP on Boreal Huge, 1600ish AD.

Sitting bull had around 11 cities. 2 of which were built around 1500's were not able to create buildings. No granary, no walls, etc. It was listed but greyedout, no red to say I needed anything. I am confused if its a bug or a feature but being as my other cities are fine I think it must be a bug. Looked for answer before posting so hope its not a repost.

can you post a gamesave? That would help. or even a screenshot might do.

Check out spiro and moundville for the native americans. They can't produce any buildings. lol

I can only confirm I've got exactly the same problem. I assume the bug has something to do with MP or that particular mapscript.

Moundville and Spiro, the two northernmost cities for Sitting Bull, cannot produce any buildings. All of them are greyed out.
I experimented further and built more cities. It seemed that the only cities that could not produce buildings were any that were on any of the parallels of lattitude above the capital's. ie build a city north of the capital and it can't produce buildings. In this game, this means an area 8 tiles wide (north-south).

Can we get this one confirmed?

I can confirm this, but without evidence from my part (yet). I also experienced a game where one or two cities north from my capital could not produce any buildings. If I can find them, I will present more facts (civ + workaround) in a next message.

Just thought I'd add my two cents to this bug report (I just quote what I said in the HOF section regarding this maptype:

If I understand this bug correctly they somehow messed with the the longitude - if you look at the map script it makes these boundaries:

def getTopLatitude():
return 95

def getBottomLatitude():
return 70

However for reasons best known to the programmers ALL buildings have a

<iMaxLatitude>90</iMaxLatitude>

This means that any city (including AIs - now I know why I was seeing so many missionaries ) that lie north of 90° cannot build any buildings, in this map this is the northern 1/7 of the map - if you happen to start there you are screwed.
