spinoff civ problem

[bigvic]

ok...i'm playing the "next war" mod, terra world...and i've created 2 spinoff civs, one on an island, one on the new world continent. i try to create a new civ on the new woeld continent and when i do, most of the other civs go to war with me...

why????

as an afterthought, its really irritating the way it won't let you create spinoff civs the way you want to...

Could it be a bug? Like the civ that you created was once exterminated and returns now but all the AIs "remember" it as an enemy?

Do you have the latest patch? Has a civ been conquered in that game?

All civs in the game have an ID. The number of available IDs however is very limited therefore the game recycles the IDs of civs that have disappeared. However when recycling the game didn't reset all the states of that civ properly in earlier versions. Therefore when your vassal is create he has the war & peace states of his previous incarnation at the point he then disappeared. As he's your vassal you have the same war & peace states so you are being dragged into the war.

Solution: patch or go to the WB and make peace.

This IS a bug (not just with Next War, but with 3.13 generally.) Bhruic's unofficial patch fixes this pending an official patch from Firaxis. Just download it and install as directed in this thread:

This should be save-game compatible, too...although if you're already at war, you might want to reload from an earlier save file to avoid this issue altogether.
