    "2K Greg" Laabs of 2K Games has announced a hotfix for Civilization V on the 2K Forums. The fix will arrive today and fix "a few issues with the most recent major patch."

    The patch includes a fix for various rare crashes, a modding fix and a couple of gameplay changes.
    Click read more for the complete list.


    STABILITY

    • Fix for various rare crash bugs


    MODDING
    • Re-enabled LUA library unused in the core game. It was removed because we didn’t think modders were using it, and apparently many, many are using it.


    GAMEPLAY
    • Fixed bug where as Siam, food from Maritime City States didn't provide the expected result.
    • Make a few more negative promotions not pass through on upgrades
    • Made the Mandekalu mounted unit have the same negative vs city as the other mounted units
    • Increased the chance that the AI will improve sea plots

      The one that drove me crazy was promoting a siege unit you've had through the entire game up to mobile artillery and you still had to use one move to set it up. Thank goodness they fixed this.

      The promos I WISH they had fixed are the crossbow's ranged attack upon being upgraded to rifles. If not converting from ranged to melee promos, then at least RESET the experience to zero (or to whatever remainder there is over the latest promotion).

      A new hotfix has been announced.
      When I read the 2K post, I do not get the meaning it is coming out today. He clearly says he is announcing it today and it is going through testing.

  • Do you Ever Move Your First Settler?
    by Aeson
    An interesting article at The Escapist about Civilization and some of the goings-on behind the scenes at Firaxis:

    http://www.escapistmagazine.com/arti...s-Civ-V-Studio



    I have a lot of problems with the methods Firaxis tested this with. Turning off barbs, limiting AI expansion ... those are two critical factors for how big an impact waiting to found your first city will be.

    I myself like to move the other unit first, see if there's a good spot to move the Settler to in a couple of turns or less. A river hill is is hard to pass up moving to. The extra production from the hill will pay off the first move very quickly.

    How about you? In what circumstances do you feel moving the Settler is a good idea?...
