Hello good people, I'm hoping someone can help me or at least direct me.

I have Civ 5 from Steam with all DLCs. I've installed VP with default choices from the installer, everything went well, mod is amazing and having lots of fun. However playing on Marathon speed and huge worlds, somewhere around the end of the Ancient era/start of the second one the game reaches a point where it crashes and will not go past the turn where it crashes. I've tried half a dozen games already, it's never the same turn or technology or any specific reason, and it can never go past it even if I load an older save and do things differently.

I'm not using other mods (except the VP flavor of IGE which I don't even use in some games), and I've never had this issues with Civ V before, although this is the first time I've played it in at least 3 years.

Since my set up is so vanilla, and no one else is reporting this problem, anyone has a clue how I could further investigate this or things I could try?

This would be be addressed better if you make a report on Github

Try using lowest setting for leader quality in graphics option and do NOT use GPU texture decode. See if that helps.

Unless the AI constantly liberates them every time it becomes available, which is strange behavior IMO.

This actually may be what is happening. Didn't consider that.

Is it intended that if a City State I'm allied with attacks and captures another Civs city (that I'm not at war with - we were actually friends) then that Civ(Denmark) will automatically declare war on me?

This seems a bit unfair as this is out of my control. I had put a lot of effort into befriending this much more powerful Denmark then all my trade deals/routes, good will with some other Civs and my unguarded boarders were being attacked.

Just noted that exp from CS doesn't contribute to GA points. Is it intended?

Set BARBARIAN_MAX_XP_VALUE to -1 in Mods\(2) Community Balance Overhaul\Balance Changes\CoreDefines.sql

Barbarian GG/GA Points is a checkable box in Advanced Setup settings.

Anyone know exactly how the free tech from ruins works? I know you never get the tech you are currently researching but I'm not sure if there is more to it, does it also exclude techs you have researched a bit in?

I don't think the mod changes this but I cant find an answer on the normal civ5 wiki or similar.

I suspect that it can give you techs you have started researching but haven't finished. I remember that happening to me at least once or twice.

I vaguely remember getting the tech I was currently researching on one occasion as well? although it was a little while ago now so I could be wrong

I'm pretty sure that partially researched techs are NOT excluded. only like 90% certain though

The tech currently being researched is definitely excluded, to the point where I sometimes even account for it. If I'm feeling like min maxing, whenever I'm about to grab a ruin, I might swap my current research to whichever tech I want to not get, just in case it's a tech ruin. and then swap back. Also when there's a tech I want to get asap and I'm less than half done or so, I'll swap research to anything other than that tech before the ruin grab, so that there's a chance the ruin gives it to me.

Does the diplomatic AI explicitly take broken promises into account? I greatly reduced the opinion penalties from breaking a promise about not attacking a civ when troops are near the border. However, when I did break the promise several other civs that I were friendly with before suddenly turned on me.

After making a deal to jointly declare war in 10 turns, where can I find information about the number of remaining tuns?

 

[ma_kuh]

I think hovering over the target's portrait says # of turns until you declare.

Do you ever make use of the 'build factories in half the usual time' in the Workers' Faculties (Order) policy? I always have all my factories built long time before this in an option.

There are a few of them. It is like the Fealty policy to build Castles & Armories in half the time. Normally I have already built them, well certainly the armories.

Tried to go for diplo victory as Austria. Game went reasonable well (mostly friendly from AI) but went worse when I got few marriages with CS. Despite having relatively strong army (near the cap) my direct neighbours (Polynesia, Maya and Sweden) simultaneously declared war on me. Defending from 3 sides was nearly impossible. So I have 2 questions:

1) Is this typical game case as Austria? Most of the game game is peaceful with many CIVs as friends but when you are getting more and more marriages everyone seems to be guarded/hostile?
2) Are there any benefits of being Vassal as player to the AI to win certain games (I mean diplo/cultural/scientific) victory? Is it doable in such situation?
