RifE 1.20 Bug Thread

[Schwarzbart]

As a Tolerant leader I have 1 Jotnar City and this gave me a Jotnar Citizen but only one in 150 Turns so fare played with this city (Epic speed).
(Its the city I haved to kill to progress 1st turn that I decided to take over via WB Cheating )

 

[Valkrionn]

That's not actually a spawned citizen, but rather one that pops when you complete the Jotnar Monument. Forget it's name.

You won't get anymore, although the one is a nice bonus I think....

I don't see a Balance thread, but I thought I would mention this - not a bug, though.

I think giving Giant Spiders and Baby Spiders Fear is a little overpowered.

In my game I was able to capture a few Giant Spiders with my Scout (it had the Courage promotion from a Lair/Dungeon event). Once I got them I was able to take out 3 AI civs because they could not attack the Spiders - assuming they could see them, of course. The Fear repelled them. The AI is woeful when it comes to getting Courage, especially early in the game.

Really, the only problem was again the Sabretooths that have Courage for some reason - maybe so they can kill your HN Spiders.

But once you get your HN Spiders into the territory of an AI civ, the Sabretooths are not a threat. You can easily take out early defenders leaving AI cities wide open for barbs like Goblins and Warriors.

Perhaps save the Fear promotion only for the top of the line Spiders, whatever that is.

I really enjoy the mod playing with all these animals (got a couple of Scorpions and Hyenas today), but have yet to find a solution to the Sabretooths which often spawn right next to my units and kill them in short order. Also, early in the game it is not possible to capture these beasts or you really could wreak some havoc in the game - good call there.

Maybe its time for Grand Menagerie 2.0

I got message, that Ljosalfar has been destroyed. So I looked into WB what happened ...

Spoiler :

+ Acheron is able to move from his city ...

I'm also having a problem with the AI Jot's crashing the game. Solved by starting a custom game and locking Jot's to Human only.

Speaking of Jot's, what does the "Jotnar warbeast" actually do? The pedia entry says that it grants "kindred" to the casting unit, tho when I cast it, I see no difference in the unit.

latest version. the attached save (1st turn) crashes when ending the turn - if I remove the Balseraph Scout or remove the dungeon next to their starting position the crash goes away...

 

[Zharkov]

I have ended a game FF+022, and must say that I like this modmod very much! Although there are some things that seem to be broken:

1. Elohim scouts are depicted as red blobs. (done)
2. Phoenix Blood is somewhat erratic. While there is always the message that xy is reborn, the respective unit does not always reappear.
3. When upgrading the weaver spider to greater, it loses net and does not become stronger.
4. Sometimes Fort Commanders remain after the fort has vanished (e.g., other improvment built). [Sadly this is not the case, when one builds a city on the fort with Commander. I would like it, when the Commander remainded in that case, and takes up command of the city watch.]
5. Basium sometimes triggers the following message: "Error: No state name apll."
6. The AI needs a general overhaul. [I don't know where to start. Sometimes I fear that the AI from the original game delivered by firaxis is fundmentally flawed and all the modders in the world can't change that.]
7. Great Generals have no adequate pedia entry. This is problematic as their function differs much from FfH.
8. Werewolves have no adequate pedia entry. This is problematic as their function differs much from FfH.


Keep up your good work! I will now update to the newest version and then continue my rant.

Playing a game as the Jotnar.

Upon researching Knowledge of the Ether, I could not build Egrass the Founder. Adult Citizens also cannot upgrade to Egrass.

The Civilopedia says Egrass cannot be built by any civilization.

Is there something I am missing which allows Egrass the Founder to be built, or is this a bug?

No one really reads the bug thread, do they, before posting one.

(Yes, I've been guilty of this as well)

a modder should be very glad if some1 takes the time and post the bugs he found. almost no1 has the time to read through all the pages to see if his bug is already reported or fixed. this would lead to a situation that no1 would post bug reports because of the reading. the modder however knows all the stuff and its not a big problem for him to read one more post... and one more... and one more...

just my two cents...

 

[Gravage]

Hm. Only half a bug I suppose - I have no idea what Dismiss does, and there's nothing to tell me what it does. No pedia entry, nor skill description.

 

[Sarisin]

Playing as Balseraphs, I had a Great Bard and and Settler go Barbarian on me. I realize this is due to the Chaos mana they have that mutates units. However, I thought a change was made so that non-combatants would not get this potential to go barb.

I know with FFH or FF some CTDs were being caused by Settlers going Barbarian this way.

 

[Gravage]

My Air elemental used to produce Lightning Elementals after combat, but (maybe related to taking master of the elements) now neither my Battlemage's nor my my Vyrkul's is producing any.

Was more referring to those listing the Jotnar issues...when the same ones have been reported at the top of this page of the bug thread..and when the moders have already said, just a few posts before, it's being looked into

Wasn't trying to criticize anyone, just pointing out something that struck me as funny.

When attacking with Brigit, once in a while, she wins, but still disappears and goes back to the capital.
Also once in a while when attacking she moves strangely on screen like going round the map before reaching the target tile.

 

[Grimz101]

Been playing this game for ages, decided to install Civ IV and the expansion onto my new laptop and installed RiFE, however when i try to launch it via the shortcut on desktop, or through BTS Load a Mod option, i always get this.. (see attached picture)
I can still load the mods that BTS came with just fine, its only RiFE and FFPlus that this happens with.
To be more specific it doesn't even get to the loading screen where it says it loading Python and all that other stuff, when i click on the shortcut nothing happens, i just get what you see in the attached picture everytime.

 

[Sarisin]

I apologize if I missed some discussion on this in previous posts...

I think the Slumbering 'promotion' the Hill Giants you get from the Pact of Nilhorn has really nerfed them. It appears I get this Slumbering after EVERY combat. This freezes/holds them in place where they can easily get killed if wounded by other units.

Also, I had one Hill Giant stuck for well over 20 turns despite there being a stated 15% chance of it wearing off each turn - I think that's what it is.

Anyway, I'm not sure if the Jotnar units get this Slumbering promotion or it is reserved just for the HN units Larry, Moe, and Curley.

I think it would be better if there was a CHANCE of getting it instead of automatically getting it and holding the unit after every combat. Or, maybe I am just unlucky.

As a software developer myself (though not a game modder normally), I personally am delighted at all bug reports, even if they are duplicates. All to often users never report bugs, they just complain about the problem in locations I'll never see.

That said, I do try for at least a quick search through recent bug reports before I report something...

 

[Darksaber1]

Slight bug, it's actually impossible for Mazatle Shapers to get Deep Shaper. Deep Shaper requires Aptitude 2, which reccuires Expansive or Industrius. Hianthrought gets niether.

 

[Lark]

pre-1.12 bugs:
- Settlers starting on Peaks/Lakes/Enemies die (the Warriors/Scouts always live, and I think this may be from FfH, since I never noticed it in vanilla BtS)
- A worker's Dwarven Mine icon is often grayed out with the message that the location is too close to another DM, even though it is at or more than the required 2 squares distance.
- The Mushroom resource event can overwrite another mine resource that’s already present. (Only happened once, to some not-yet-visible mithril.)
- Not a bug: Please consider a) making Wild Mana into nodes, not just resources (otherwise they’re less use than the old method) & b) including refined mana (one more thing to fight over).
- Rinwell Isle will kill a civ located too close to it the way the Guardians and that boat with the skellies used to - turn 13 and bang-you’re-dead.
- D’Tesh workers - the button that says “Build Graveyard” should say “Build Crypt”.
- Irrigating ruins gave me a "Savage Farm".

post-1.12:
- No Egrass.
- No items from chests. (Maybe start handing them out to the longer-lived and more-dangerous Savages? -“Look what I found while I was wandering around whacking scouts, Ma!”
- Pristin Pass doesn’t show up even if you select All Unique Features.
- Not a bug: What do the two gold stars mean in the description of Triforce?
- And somewhere it should say you’re sacrificing your unit to be the new Fort Guardian.
- Not a bug: I read that bit about Acheron being on a leash and didn’t think a thing of it until I saw what it meant. Yes! Now he can get experience!
- F7 - The Ordo Machinarum icon is a pink square.
- F6 - I see Mechanos units and buildings as being buildable.
- The Bair of Lacuna (Bair of Gap? -Say what?) promo is a pink square on unit mouseover.
- The “Earth’s Boosom” spell icon is too small in the ‘Pedia. And if you meant “Bosom”, why not just call it “Les Grands Tetons” and be done?
- I occasionally find a unit has been damaged without being attacked. Strange.
- Seakin Fyrds can build roads on coasts. Pity only Seakin can travel them. And you have to be careful they don’t pick each other up.
- The ‘Pedia says Hill Giants are replaced by Fyrds, so I built the Pact of the Nilhorn- and they weren’t.
- Aptitude inaptitude: Fyrd, age 75, experience 1.8.
- Resources around forts seem to connect oddly. I had pig, deer and stone at a fort. A road entirely on my territory hooked all three up at the same time. But it took them quite a few turns to connect and they did it in the opposite order to which the improvements were built (and opposite the order of distance from Jotunheim, for that matter).
- All these Jotnar Halls with reduced maintenance - that refers to distance maint., doesn’t it? And yet Jotnar run Traditions, which has no distance maintenance. What am I missing?
- Bug?: How do I “create a city with an experienced Fort Commander”? I thought I was supposed to build Forts and wait for them to develop, but they stop at Citadel. I can upgrade my Herredcarls to Hurlers, but all those can do is summon another Herredcarl. I can give them another 200xp in the WB, to no avail. I can cast “Wisdom of the Ancients”, but it doesn’t do anything, not even what it says it’s supposed to. Were they supposed to become Giant Steadings instead of Citadels? -Because I can make cities with those.
