No Game End By Bribing The Last AI City

[ramses II.]

I just have a game where I bribed the last AI city - I wanted to finish the game.
But I was very astonished when the game continued ...
The "no restart of civs" option was turned on.
Seems that there is a difference between taking the last AI city by brute force or by bribing!
Have you ever noticed this phenomenon?

They must have an unsupported settler out there somewhere.
Can you still contact them?...share maps or hit cheat and reveal it

[Hydey]

I had a game like that, I thought I had won but the game continued, I finally found a settler wandering around the south pole

[rah]

Yeah, I once found a settler in my territory in a mountain range.

There's definitively no settller or engineer left. I've got already space flight, my ss is ready to start.

Here's the savefile (civ 2.4.2):

[Mercator]

The Apollo Program does NOT reveal all enemy units! It only reveals the map and units at the time you build it.

After that you only see the newly built cities, and units within two squares from your city (apart from the regular stuff).

In other words, there can still be plenty of units walking around.

[rah]

Yes, it took me a few games before I figured out what Apollo actually showed.

Endless Game

I just "finished" another game (deity, 7 civs, map 125x80, raging hordes).
Civ-Version 2.4.2

Having more than 320 Million people, I destroyed the last AI city (I first poisoned the water supply, so it had size 1) - but the game didn't end.
Then, some turns later I started my SS. I received a message that the Romans (me) had landed on AC in 2019 - BUT THE GAME CONTINUED.
So I played until 2020 - BUT THE GAME STILL CONTINUED!!!


Oh, Sid!!! That could have been a new personal record (more than 12.000 points)

I haven't looked at your savefile, but I assume you've got UN. The embassy will identify which AI civilization remains active. Check: is it the same civ you wiped out, or a different one of the same color? If it's the same one, there's something you still haven't wiped out yet.

[ramses II.]

I've got all wonders, UN included. There's no remaining civ, no AI settler.
I think it's because I have about 1.000.000.000 citizens.
It's then 2nd time that these things happen. Perhaps it's my civ version(2.4.2) that causes this irregular behaviour.

[Thoddy]

Maybe the civ2 engine checks only changes in ownership of a city.

But there was no change in ownership of this city because the city is lost.

So its a Bug or feature:fg.

Solution: let a barbarian unit take another city and retake the city.

[TCO]

you lost.
