So, I'm playing the Persians on the same continent as the Zulus and Babylonians. An incredibly naive Shaka offers to trade me Iron... Well you know what happened next, an Immortal storm washed over the continent first eliminating the Zulus and then complete my manifest destiny by wiping out the babylonians... or so I thought...
Walked through babylon and took out all their cities on my continent. But I didn't get the "We've eliminated the forgotten babylonians" prompt.
Odd I thought, oh well perhaps they have an overseas city or something. Even though the continent was too far away from other land masses at this part of the game. Still I thought the AI may have a few tricks we don't know about.
So not really caring about them anymore I sued for peace. Bluffing that I was already at their gates (I really had no idea where they were now), they handed over all their gold, techs and world maps.
Here's where I knew something was wrong, because their world map didn't show any babylonian cities.
So the game goes on another couple of hundred years, I make contact with the civ's on the other side of the world, get all their maps and still no Babylonians.
All this time I could still access the diplomatic screen, talk with them, do deals with them, although they had 0 gold, no techs, luxuries, etc. The only thing they had to offer was their maps and they didn't show anything.
So another couple of hundred years pass and lo and behold I stumble on a lone babylonian galley parked in aztech waters! It had one hit point left and just stayed there, not moving around at all.
So this is where that bastard hammurabi has been hiding all these years, on this galley! So I decided to finish the job I should have done long ago, and I sink his galley. The message pops up, we have destroyed the babylonian empire etc. Cool I think, that's a bit odd. And went on playing for another couple of hours.
This is where the revenge of Hammurabi comes in. It turns out all of my save games (including auto saves) after sinking his last galley are corrupt! When I load them I get the message: DATAIO Operating System Error: CITY
So now I've got to go back and replay a couple hunded years, and make sure that galley sticks around for the whole game, otherwise I'm screwed!
I can attach a save game if anyone is interested, or if FIRAXIS wants to check out this bug...
