It doesn't disappear, instead cost to research increases as you attack barbarian city.
Spoiler :
Just green ticks disappear if there is more than 100 turns needed
So something is crisscrossed in code.
Forgot to check the number of turns to next technology but the ticks didn't reappear when the number was less than 100.

So this number is smaller then.
That is if you need lots of turns to research, then ticks will disappear.
Yes, it appears so.
You need no latitude modmod for it

Should I try it as well?
I mean, you haven't replied to my complaint about animals, ya know.

Tried.
Isn't helping at all.
Maybe I should try putting the NPCs at their older numbers (except for Barbs being the last one)?
Would be funny if it helps.
OH that issue, well then you can use notepad++, and search it in all files (ctrl+f5)
So search NPC defines in *.xml *.cpp *.h files

A bit too broad, no?
Also, tried it previously - didn't help (or didn't find the issue).
Also, putting NPCs (besides Barbs) at their normal places doesn't help either.
Whether it doesn't get read as it's supposed to, or there's some other issue, it seems the problem is with the number of players, not with what numbers NPCs are set at.
Dunno, but there's way too many files to randomly bump into the solution that I have no clue about.

Honestly I'd help here but it's too complicated to remember how to do it right every time.

Seconding this bug, on the latest revision, happened after conquering a barbarian city, find the saves (before and after) attached
Caused by your errors during making modnod
Clean up your SVN
Also zwip module can't be enabled by MLF, because NOTHING works in them.

I'm surprised it took me so long to figure out the best test, but:
If I *add* +10 to all the civ numbers (aka make NPCs 50-60) - it doesn't work.
If I *detract* -10 from them (aka make NPCs 30-40) - it actually works.
(EDIT: Not really. I thought to check, and it made all Animals into Barbarians, lol. So, NOPE.)
Meaning, there's a HARDCODED limit on *40* (or 50) civs somewhere that simply kills off the "superfluous" ones regardless of what I put into the CvDefines.h file.
(EDIT: Worse, the positions themselves must be hardcoded somewhere. Damn.)
It simply doesn't care about it, if the numbers exceed 40/50.
Except for those last-position Barbs, though, for some funky reason - those work just fine under ANY number (easily tested by Barb World).
(EDIT: Yeah, which is why it made Animals into Barbs - because Barbs exist ALWAYS.)
So... ANY idea or help, please?

Try copying these changes to Defines.h.

This looks outdated, though.
Here's the current unedited file:
Code:
//TBANIMAL - the project really starts here
#define MAX_PC_PLAYERS (40)
#define MAX_PC_TEAMS (40)
#define BEAST_PLAYER ((PlayerTypes)40)
#define BEAST_TEAM ((TeamTypes)40)
#define PREDATOR_PLAYER ((PlayerTypes)41)
#define PREDATOR_TEAM ((TeamTypes)41)
#define PREY_PLAYER ((PlayerTypes)42)
#define PREY_TEAM ((TeamTypes)42)
#define INSECT_PLAYER ((PlayerTypes)43)
#define INSECT_TEAM ((TeamTypes)43)
#define NPC4_PLAYER ((PlayerTypes)44)
#define NPC4_TEAM ((TeamTypes)44)
#define NPC3_PLAYER ((PlayerTypes)45)
#define NPC3_TEAM ((TeamTypes)45)
#define NPC2_PLAYER ((PlayerTypes)46)
#define NPC2_TEAM ((TeamTypes)46)
#define NPC1_PLAYER ((PlayerTypes)47)
#define NPC1_TEAM ((TeamTypes)47)
#define NPC0_PLAYER ((PlayerTypes)48)
#define NPC0_TEAM ((TeamTypes)48)
#define NEANDERTHAL_PLAYER ((PlayerTypes)49)
#define NEANDERTHAL_TEAM ((TeamTypes)49)
// Toffer - Barbarian player must be last, expected by the exe.
#define BARBARIAN_PLAYER ((PlayerTypes)50)
#define BARBARIAN_TEAM ((TeamTypes)50)
#define MAX_PLAYERS (51)
#define MAX_TEAMS (51)If I ADD - it stops spawning Animals altogether (but Barbs still work fine).
If I SUBTRACT - it turns all spawned Animals into Barb civ (since Barbs ALWAYS seem to exist).
Feels rather stupid, if you ask me.
EDIT:
Interesting, the current file lacks the following:
Code:
#define NUM_NPC_PLAYERS (6)
#define NUM_NPC_TEAMS (6)
#define FIRST_NPC_PLAYER ((PlayerTypes)(MAX_PLAYERS - NUM_NPC_PLAYERS))EDIT:
Currently trying this.

To make a separate post.
Apparently, changing the number of civs screws more or less everything civ-player-related.
I added some animals via WB, but there's no "owner" shown neither on them NOR on my own units.
This is the above attempt at "100 civs".
Seriously - what the heck?

The following PROBABLY isn't caused by my modmod, since I kinda recall some similar errors even before getting to mess with Git.
Basically, some weird Barb-to-Minor-Civ related issues, I guess.
Just very annoying to make me CLICK these error reports EVERY SINGLE TURN, ugh.
