River insertion code ignores bonus restrictions

[VoiceOfUnreason]

Observe the copper to the north of the human player's starting tile.

CIV4BonusInfos.xml specifies that BONUS_COPPER has bNoRiverSide set. The resource placement code takes steps to ensure that the copper isn't put down next to a river. However, the normalized river code doesn't maintain this invariant.

It looks the same as the desert river: the beutification of the players starting places does not respect the XML

I've received word that the linked file may have been altered by hand. I still think the bug is there, as I haven't been able to find anything statements in the normalization code that account for the XML, but this may not be a "true" example.

Sorry about the necro-thread, but as I played a quick game and noticed a super rare case of double copper within BFC, one was besides river and I thought of that thread I read a while back.

Any news since 2007...?

Needs BUFFY mod to open the save. The start is completely random and it hasn't been modified. Pure start...

I discovered that post mentioning again no riverside copper...

Any news...?

Oh, sorry ...

My knowledge of this issue is the exact same than it was at the time I posted :/ SO I can't help you more than I did when posting above 4 years ago .

There might be something about it deeply buried in the 3.13 patch thread ( that had some serious discussion on the normalisation code ) . I might give a look later ...
