"Restricted roads/railroads from being built on terrain that has no road bonus. "

What's this **** supposed to mean?

Aha! I am SO glad that it was documented SOMEWHERE!

In the version 1.29 Editor; Terrain tab I had changed Tundra's Terraform Bonus for Roads to '0' (from '1'). My intent was to make tundra useless except for colonies (I had also disabled planting forests on tundra).

Then in the 1300's (AD) I went to build a road on tundra and was unable to do so. Now all the tundra that didn't already have forests on it is TOTALLY worthless, and any strategic resources on it will be totally unaccessible.

I've noticed that I've had to turn off the damn muzak that comes with the game a number of times. It seems to be able to turn itself on with 1.29. Wierd stuff.

RedBird · August 1, 2002, 01:49

I'm not sure if this is new to 1.29, but I don't recall seeing it in 1.21 (though I might not have been paying attention). I just got Theory of Evolution, and I got two screens which were for The Great Library. The message was something like "The Iriquois and the Persions have taught us Feudelism, what would you like to research next?". I'm not sure if it was exacly that, but the point is it was clearly a Great Library screen, and I got it when being offered my choices from the Theory of Evolution. 1.29 patch, no mods.

Obviously not a big deal since I got my tech advancements, but it was a bit odd that since the Iriquois and the Persians had learned Feudelism I was going to get Atomic Theory...

I almost finished my WWII scenario, and I wanted to playtest what I have so far, but the game crashes once the scenario loads.....Every time I get this message :

Anyone has any idea what might be causing it?
Here is the file for people to look at

Entering a new age is still not announced when you get there by trading techs.

alexman · August 3, 2002, 20:00

In the replay at the end of the game, the histograph is initially labeled "power" but it is really "score". If you select something different from the drop-down, you get the correct graph. (or if you select power again, you get the actual powergraph). The wrong graph is displayed only before you touch the dropdown menu.

I'm not playing Civ3 until they fix this!

Ribannah · August 4, 2002, 03:00

The AI refuses to make an offer for your World or Territory Map if it thinks it should cost more than it can pay (even though you would be satisfied with less).

A small bug exsisting from v1.07

I wonder why Firaxis dodn't noticed it.

Still, it's not realy crucial for gameplay, just annoying.

hi ,

indeed , and sometimes when you give it , the AI refuses it , or becomes upset , yet he "knows" less then you

there should be more control over such things , ....

and most of the things asked in my sig only where given half , ......

Firaxis , please give us some feedback and most important , fix some things

have a nice day

The civilopedia entry for 'Economics' fails to mention the new ability to double the effect of wealth production.

Yes, I know it's a rather small bug, but Firaxis really seems to care about civilopedia typos ...

How do you double the effect? I couldn't find anything in the readme file.

Ribannah · August 5, 2002, 16:25

Reported this before, but it still happens (and already did in Civ2).
Sometimes when you re-allocate a city's workers and then put them back on the original squares, the number of shields after waste is one lower, and there's no way to restore what you got before except by reloading the autosave. Very, very annoying when you're building the Forbidden Palace and waste is already increasing all the time

(because you've founded more cities

).

Just by researching Economics. From then on, producing 'wealth' in a city will yield the double amount of gold per turn.

Lucilla · August 5, 2002, 17:38

Good to know, thanks lockstep.

Stuie · August 6, 2002, 07:54

This is an editor bug, but the supposedly "appropriate" thread over in the Creation forum has turned into a long persistent whine about the lack of event scripting. So I'm reporting this here...

The "Allow Cities" checkbox does not work when you uncheck it. For instance, I set desert, jungle and tundra to not allow cities. First game I started there was a huge mass of tundra to my south. Part way through the game the AI English come along a plop a city down in the tundra. So much for that new "feature" in the editor.

Level · August 6, 2002, 10:07

If there is a forest on tundra you can still build on it.

I saw the same happening, but I was not able to build on desert, whereas the AI apperantly was. So I could restrict myself, but not the AI

Panag · August 6, 2002, 13:29

hi ,

when making the rules this or that , the AI seems to do what he wants , sometimes he accepts this rule , sometimes not

have a nice day

Panag · August 6, 2002, 13:44

hi ,

while making a map , when placing cities and towns , have the time they dont show up on the map , when you load the scenario they are there , but when you place units or towns on the map you only get there name or number , ....

in about 50% , .....

Firaxis

have a nice day

Rasputin · August 6, 2002, 21:23

is it just me or have i not noticed this before. played a game last night where i made a Right of passage agreement, and then couldnt recind the agreement ever.. Eventually I had to wipe out the other civ to prevent him building citys in my gaps in my civ. Are Right of passages permanent or the same as other agreements lasting only 20 turns.

Ozymandius · August 7, 2002, 06:29

what's a "feebacK" in the post listing... do I get money back for an original defective game?

The AI built cities on desert? Then this new editor feature IS buggy. Too bad ....

Well, Mike B also didn't succeed with government-specific improvements/wonders in the first try and fixed it in v1.21, so I'm quite sure restricted city founding will also work eventually.

If there is forest on the tundra, then they can build a city there. I had disallowed cities on tundra also.

WARNING: As documented somewhere around here, if you give roads a commerce value of zero on a terrain (same editor tab, 1.29), then you CANNOT BUILD roads there! This means no colonies. Moral to the lesson: test your rule changes on smaller maps!

In the Diplomacy screen click active and cancel the one you want.
In the prefrences menu you can make it so it always pops up after 20 years.

In 350 BC, my OCC game has France on 1201 culture points and my single city Paris on only 1172 ....

It appears that the turn I chose a new government (Republic), no culture was accumulated in Paris, while it did count for France!

bugs:

trade diplomacy: When you have prefs set to 'renegotiate deals', and an existing trade (gems for cash, for example) ends after 20 turns, the other civ is contacted. He wants to continue the deal, but if you choose to renegotiate, sometimes he wont even accept the original deal any more!!! VERY frustrating!!

Suing for peace: you arent able to sweetalk a weak civilization into giving you more stuff after kicking their tail by adding trade, technology, etc. to the pile. Say you want them to surrender a second city, in adittion to other things: "i doubt they will accept this deal". But add a tech to your pile, or resources, or even a couple of your OWN cities, and suddenly: "They would never accept this deal!!"

establishing embassies: Only way to establish embassies seems to be to right click on your capital, and select from the subsequent menu. This menu item is wrongly labelled "conduct espionage'.
