Just had the game crash after Rome attacked, and I believe conquered, my city (I think it was Leptis, Carthaginian). Never had that happen before. Might be a Wine issue, though. I'm going to try and figure out how to access logs in wine applications and see if anything useful is there.

Just installed the 3.71 to test it, and was surprised to have a pop-up when trying to launch the huge world map (also large world map, didn't test the others scenarios).
Didn't have the reflex to take a screenshot, but it was something like "This scenario needs the mod Realism Invictus to be installed, please install it" (or launch it?)
That was while using the default desktop shortcut to launch the compiled version of the 3.71.
More weird : I then closed the game, restart it, and this time, no trouble, I was able to launch the scenario without the warning popping up.
Did I mess up my instal, or ?

See how it behaves later on and if it does anything weird.
So far, everything's seems okay and running. Looks like it was a one-time only problem after the install.
Will keep you updated if something changes
I didn't expect "Metalocalypse" to be the mod theme... (this shows up with both old and new terrain)
Future Tech seems to be wigging out, that straight line goes all the way back to Blister Steel. Anyone else have these two problems, or just me?
Also, when I try a new random map game there's no button for WorldBuilder. Is there an option I'm missing to turn that on?

Thanks for pointing this one out, something is indeed up with the tech tree, I can reproduce on my side too. Strange, as I didn't change the tech tree layout recently. I'll see about fixing it.

Hey Walter,
I just checked the update. You still haven't fixed the New Random Seed problem. It's really easy to test. Start a game with New Random Seed on and open the victory conditions window, change to settings and look at the options listed. It will be on the list. Then save and exit. reload the game and reopen to the settings list and it will no longer be on the list.
Could you let me know when it's fixed so I can once again play my morning coffee civ?
Thanks.

Does anyone else have a common scenario of militaristic AIs declaring war early, targeting a city, realizing they can't capture it so they don't attack, and then they just sit around forever, never attacking and never willing to talk? In my current game I planted a city on the border with montezuma at a chokepoint and stuffed it with units, he obviously decced war cause monty. But his stack is almost entirely archers and scouts so he won't attack, but he's camped on a forrested hill across a river so I don't want to attack him. Now it's been 1000 years and he won't talk.

Yeah, I have no idea what's causing it thus far. So no promises.
Welp it's vanilla behavior)
If you want to kick them out you'll need a strong army with a lot of skirmishers.
I try to never let this happen and intercept armies to fight on my own terms.

This is the way, enemies will try to stay inside your borders and only you can drive them away, either by paying them whatever tribute they ask for peace or by fighting, the last one is usually the best way to do this just get some nice charged mounted units and whatever units can counter theirs, skirmishers with special tradition are very nice for this but horsemen can easily take on damaged units too
Now this is some weird stuff, 1000 years and he still refuses to talk?
Moctezuma is one tough MF. Have you tried to decimate the opposing force? that usually settles it, but after a few turns on a unsuccesful war campaign your enemies should be able to accept (albeit, they usually do by asking some money in exchange) if you want to avoid paying them for this you gotta fight and show them you are stronger, after this and a few turns they should be available for a free declaration of peace or even if you are strong enough you can ask them money too, but it takes time for the AI to process this, so it rarely is something you can do a turn or two after you beat them (usually it takes me like 5-10)I have never been on this kind of case where a war has extended for so long because when someone attacks me I take it very seriously, being at war is not good for your citizens and can harm your development. Or at least that is what I believe
I'm not sure, but in such a long timelapse you should have been able to develop a technological advancement superior to whatever he has stationed there, just take that there and beat the hell out of him!
I think I remember telling a kind of similar story about two AI that were fighting, the attacker had a lot of skirmishers and archers while the defender had no sh!t on his city and yet he just stayed in front of it, not doing anything, about 400 years later they were still there just looking at each other... it was pretty awkward
sometimes the AI has a hard time doing sieges,Yep this happens in my game too, had not noticed it because I had not looked that far in the tech tree
Yeah this can happen, only once for me though because of an improper installation of the mod.

Okay, no worries. I'll just have to keep playing Colonization: We the People mod mod.
Walter,
The load game doesn't start with random seed despite being in the pre save?

I don't know what that last update was, but it didn't fix the New Random Seed. The program behavior makes me think that the New Random Seed option is not being added to the save file like it was in 3.61. And it may have happened when the Military Treaty option was added to the options list.

Future Tech has this value <iGridX>30</iGridX>. It should be <iGridX>45</iGridX>.
Spoiler TechTree with changed xgrid value :
P.s.: Walter - you can easily use ygrid value 16 and 17 too - in this way, it is easier to make changes in distance and height between the various Tech lines without spoiling the overview. And then you still have a number of unused xgrid values - 5 as I recall - around the renaissance.
Above is something I use myself without problems in my spin-off.

Yeah, found it too and fixed, and replaced the installers already. Anyone who has misaligned Future Tech can either redownload and reinstall or do the easy fix outlined above.
