Patch 3.13 early thoughts

How about being attacked from the sea, I swear I haven't had it happen to me once, pre and post patch, with dozens and dozens of game played...

I just had it happen to me on my game, Prince level, Hemispheres with Random # of continents (it turns out there were 6), Standard map; v3.13. Shaka invaded me from overseas. Declared war, brought in 4 Galleons fully loaded, and took over a city.

What is annoying is that I, as AP resident, and current elected official, could not even vote on a resolution to force Shaka to go to peace, or to give back my city. Granted he would have just defied the resolution, but c'mon... he declared war on the current elected official of the palace--that's the time to put up a vote! Then he could defy the resolution, which would allow me to have the rest of the full members to declare war.

I also have never seen the AP resolution to have all Full Members declare a defensive pact with each other, even when all members are at peace with each other (which I would assume is the prereq).

Despite some quirks mentioned (and apparently fixed unofficially), v3.13 definitely is an improvement in my book.

The patch was done coding on September 21? Alexman was right to the best of his knowledge, apparently. It does look like either Firaxis or Take2 needs more playtesters. I'll volunteer! I'm even in the Baltimore area.

Continued my game from last night. I was a bit hemmed in, so I decided to take my nice new SOD and attack one of my neighbors. Long story short, yet another religious war where 8 civs were bribed into declaring war on me.

This is odd, as I had friendly relations with a few of them, and couldn't get them into the war on my side no matter what I offered.
 
The strangest thing for me with the patch is that, whenever a movie is about to play (such as building a wonder), or I open up a diplomacy screen, the background turns black.

Does anyone else have this happen? It didn't happen pre-v3.13 (although I had movies turned off pre-3.13, diplomacy did not make the background go black).

Dabnabbit. We need an organized bug reporting system set up again. We've got stuff scattered to heck and back. :crazyeye:
 
ButSam i am editing what i wrote at Brhuic's unofficial patch thread,

:The F buttons don't work,only F1 works.When i press the others F2,F3.. it minimizes the game at desktop and i get a message from set point asking if i want to assign a function to that button.
What am i doing wrong here?
Has anyone else encountered this problem...?(don't know if it was mentioned in another thread as a bug).

what do you think?
installed 3.13 & Brhuic's patch
 
Enjoyed an all-nighter as soon as the Direct2Drive version of the patch was released last night. The game runs very smooth on my P4 2.8 x1650 pro machine, the A.I. is much more of a challenge, and the espionage seems to be working better now.

Sorry for the brevity of my feedback, but I have a bone to pick with Pacal and will be back when I teach him a little humility...
 
This patch is worthy very much the wait only for the fact that an AI just stole Literature from me with a spy in a SG game.
 
I have yet to see the civ try to do all those massive trade things, also the aggressive Civs does work, I've seen Chinese attacking Khmar, Charlemague vs France, Korea vs Khmar... it's a war island over there and I was the japanese in two islands. Some of the civs still have them tribetes and gallays, which amazed me.
 
yesterday I played with a friend on MP monarch custom game standerd map 14 civs
my friend had destroyed wang kon but 50 turns later his name showes up again
Qin Shi han had created a colony
only altough his name showes up it is infact rammesses of egypt!!!

So this is a bug, and not a "feature" when you choose a lower quality setting on movies? Then I will move to the bug report forum unless it is there already. I don't have enough compute power to run high-res movies now with BtS (although they worked just fine pre-BtS).

Did you notice that the original CvGameCoreDLL.dll was last changed on September 21st? Makes me wonder why we had to wait another 13 days for it to be released. Obviously not because it was tested, everybody can see that it wasn't.
 
:sigh:

I know people are going to be upset about the patch - there's always someone upset about a patch. But let's try and keep things in perspective, shall we?

As for the CvGameCoreDLL.dll file date, please remember that the entire game is not included in that. Many parts of the game are contained in the exectuable itself. It's entirely possible, if not likely, that the changes they needed to make didn't require recompiling the dll.
