Good to hear that a fix will be soon around. I like the many choices I can make with this mod. I am eager to play this mod in the late ages

After much discussion we decided to make a few changes to peaks, which makes them more difficult to work, with longer build times, but has a greater benefit. Additionally, we added promotions that affect attack and defense factors as well as movement. We think this is a good balance. See 3.08A changes. Thanks for your recommendations and keep them coming.

Now that everyone is enjoying 3.08A, it is time to think about the next big projects for OGI. So here is my preliminary list of ideas:
1. Redesign and optimize the Advanced Cargo by Thomas SG and Stolenrays. Then add it to OGI.
2. Improve the selection choices for the city governor. There needs to be a manual override capability.
3. Add platy's specialist count mod to OGI.
Please feel free to suggest a few ideas for us to contemplate, as we want to make OGI 3.09 another long list of major updates.

Choice is what OGI is all about. We believe the amount of choice eliminates excuses for not following a preplanned strategy for a tech path, the wonder race and the race to get a religion. OGI makes each player contemplate what to do next and that was our goal from the beginning.

The following changes have been added to the development of OGI 3.09:

V3.08A
I really wish I could finish a game.. this time I get a crash when one of my units goes active on this turn.
Sometimes I have a strange bug too. One unit from another nation gets mega big so I can only see brown and black textures. I have to zoom in very close to see my units, citys etc again.
I bought the steam version of CiV4 cause I thought that was a bug with my old install but I got this bug with steam ver too
I added the save from my crash game..

I do not get any of these problems on my PC and neither does the historian, who tests all my releases. Your saved file worked perfectly on my PC, with no problems. I even let AI-AUTOPLAY run a few rounds. Again no issue. A space race victory occurred at turn 320.
1. First thing of note: Your installation folder name is Grand Inquisitions 308A Okt 27 2015, when it should be Grand Inquisitions 308A.
2. You need to go to the following web site and follow the installation instructions for Civ4, Warlords and BTS: You need Warlords and BTS expansions and the respective patches.

3. You may not have enough video memory to run OGI or you have some sort of graphics card issue. Perhaps you need more system memory.
Bottom Line is: I am unable to reproduce the brown and black textures issues that you are experiencing.

I only renamed the folder when I installed v3.08A. No more changes. I even redownloaded v3.08A in the first place..
I just bought CiV4 Complete for Steam a few days ago because I thought my old install was somewhere corrupted and downloaded it complete. I have the same texture issues that I had with my old install. Maybe its really a graphic driver problem, I have AMD Catalyst 14.9 installed and I know its outdated but the latest driver had issues in another game I play so I have to go with 14.9. The only thing I did to this complete new CiV Installment was to download and apply Blue Marble, like I always do.
My system with i5 2500-k CPU, 8GB RAM and XFX Radeon HD 6870 (1GB video RAM) should be more then enough. I use WIN7 Ultimate x64.
I really have no clue why I get crashes and other do not. In this game linked in my previous post I had the crash two times before while playing but after reloading the save and changed the auto forward behaviour by just clicking another unit first I was able to continue with the current turn and move on with the game. I tried this with the actual turn too but I only was able to get other units active before I get the switch to the unit that produces the crash. Unfortunatly the crash occurs before the unit goes active so I don't know which one produces the crash.

I was able to screenshot the texture issues I have. This time the game crashed while I was scrolling around. Seems to be only a graphic related bug, hmm.

No doubt now. BTW. I have 2GB of video memory on my card. That could make a huge difference. Although graphic card settings could also have a major impact. I would hunt through the forums for graphic card tweaks for Civ4. Your graphics issue has happened to other civ players long ago. Here is one example to read:

Thanks I will do some research on that topic.

I did some testing by myself because I couldn't find anything related to my problem. Seems to be that turning on "Animations Frozen" in the Options solved my problem.

Work on OGI version 3.09 is progressing nicely, with many new units and capabilities added for all you civ4 fanatics out there. 3.09 will be another awesome update that will improve the game play experience.
See post 826 for the latest list of changes.

The race to get a religion can be a real problem if you don't get one early in the game. Failure to get a religion in the ancient era can put you behind by 20 turns or even more with two missed opportunities. Some players start a new game if they loose the race to found a religion. This is a problem with BTS and it is a problem with many mods, including OGI. We have addressed this problem in version 3.09.
We have redesigned the code for Limited religions and the tech tree to provide for an early race, but then make it possible to found a religion with Monotheism. There is a code trigger to found a religion, even if you are not the first civ to research Monotheism. All 9 religions could theoretically and will likely be founded in the ancient age; each by different civs. The founding of only one holy city per civ rule still applies.
There will be a race to get one of the first three religions: Meditation, Polytheism and Ceremonial Burial. If you don't get a religion in the race for those 3 techs, you can research Monotheism to found a religion. OGI has 9 religions and Monotheism will provide a religion to each civ that researches it until all 9 religions are founded. The result is if you fail once, then you can still recover early and not have to wait for the classical age to finally get a holy city. I've thoroughly tested the new code and it works. In my opinion, this change to Limited Religions vastly improves game play.
Additionally, all the religious techs after the ancient era, will offer the player to join an existing religion, if the player does not have a state religion.

We have had a major break through with city management. City specialists will retain their manual settings when citizen automation is turned off. If you don't like how the city governor manages your citizens either plots or specialist selections, then you can disable the governor's horrible decisions by turning off citizen automation.
When the city population increases, you will receive a new citizen, which you will have to manually place where you want. We are ecstatic about what this accomplishment means for Civ4 game play.
The SDK changes to fix citizen automation is the last item planned for OGI 3.09, as it is packed with 55 changes. The mod is now being play tested and we believe we will be able to release this awesome version sometime this April.
