Planes bug

[WarMonkeY]

Hi

When bombing the crap out of russia, i suddenly found a bug allowing me to station aircraft anywhere on the map.
Only thing i had to do was to place it there "very fast"
Appearantly, the game uses a very tiny moment to realize that the plane cannot be stationed somewhere.

Interesting screenshot. You should post a save game to see if the bug can be replicated....

By looking into the matter some more, i just found out that this works for bombard as well....

So; There is "no" range to anything if exploiting this bug

Savefile here; http://www.civfanatics.net/uploads6/bomberbug.SAV


I believe it can be replicated a lot....

Ok time for an update.

1. The link doesn't work right, I had to copy and paste the address into my browser to be able to dowla the save game.

2. When I tried to load the game my civ3 crashed.... so I can't help you out on this one.

BTW, which version are you using? Did you patch your civ3 up to version 1.29 before installing conquests?
Which conquests pack are u using?

Hope someone can help you out on this potential bug

Update part II

Tried loading the game again, this time no crash

Wasn't able to relocate planes but the ones already relocated near the russian city functionned normally... so the verdict is undecided...

BTW, welcome to Civ fanatics...

You have to press "shift-r", "b" or "a" or whatever shortcut the function has and place it almost simoultaniously

After a bit of testing i found out this:

-When "exploiting" the bug by using bombard from either boats, planes or artillery, you get the animation and the unit uses its move, but you get no damage whatsoever

-Works with paratroopers and helicopters as well


Am i the only one realizing that if exploitning this bug, it is quite easy to place a real lot of infantry anywhere on the map by using some helicopters?

I tried this, the shortcut is shift-r but it doesn't work. my guess is a version issue... which patch do you have? And did you patch your civ3 to version 1.29? In my opinion this is probably the answer.
