I'll try going back a couple of saves and see if that fixes the problem. Thank you for checking those logs, I do appreciate it!

Ambrox,

I reloaded same error, this is the map I loaded

TAM - 24 Civs - Full Mediterranean 128x64 dated 11/19/09

I extracted patch f and toggled through with the NO to see each file, I did not see any map files loaded.

graywarden,

I just started up the game with the exact same map you used, and I don't get any error either. so I am confused...

There is no map included in patch F, as far as I know. I think Ambrox meant the map that comes with the original .91 pack.

humm,

I just toggled the python error bug report option this past weekend. what may be occuring then is that this error is linked to the xml errors i reported on load the week or so before. those are still occuring. Laurino thinks that I have corrupted my core dll, and the only way to remove the reoccuring errors is to reinstall the CIV4 game itself. I am not ready to do that just yet.... haha...

 

[ono-neko]

I think that is a possibility. I have python error bug report enabled too, but not in game, just the log files.

I feel you on the reinstalling Civ4 part. I am going to have one big ass reinstalling of everything when I got my new PC home... *sigh*

OPTIONAL TAM ADDONs
------------------------
Animated Leaderheads addon
BUG mod addon

I'm using the latest version, 0.91F with BUG addon
Found a pretty serious glitch
Noticed that my state religion churches and cathedrals produce a huge amount of bonuses:

Spoiler :

This is a decisive advantage if you manage to find a religion, especially for the player
The reason is that ATM all religion's shrines give +2 gold and +1 science and all religion's cathedrals give +1 gold and +1 culture to all state religion buildings in all your cities
This of course gets out of hand pretty fast
In my game it means that building an olympian cathedral (Temple of Zeus) will result in an additional +1 gold and +1 culture for all my egyptian state religion's buildings: churches, cathedrals, even in the shrine

IMO it would even be overpowered if only your state religion's cathedrals and shrine would give this bonus
If you have 12 temples, 4 cathedrals and a shrine from your state religion, that means (over the buildings normal bonuses):
Additional 6 gold, 4 culture and 1 research for each of 17 buildings
Building a temple in a totally new city would be absolutely overpowered. No culture or gold difficulties in your game anymore...

 

[ambrox62]

Thanks for the report
It doesn't work as designed.

 

[AbsintheRed]

I see
Fixing this bug isn't hard at all, only a few changes in the xml
But if we remove it from religious cathedrals and shrines, than some other appropriate bonus is needed.
Basically we need a complete redesign of all the religious bonuses - so the church, cathedral and shrine bonuses are more or less balanced with each other

Btw, is it intended that jewish and christian buildings are more expensive?
Didn't check it, but maybe their spread rate is increased?

Huh, I'm not sure I know what you mean here
I didn't complain at all, read again
Also, where did I say anything about losing money?
I said that religions are overpowered, it's too easy to get wealth and everything else if you manage to find a religion

Apart from the bug connected to religious buildings does anyone know any issues in the latest version?
