Question about a bug

[Theben]

Not well documented, but a step in the right direction. Thanks!

Hmmm... Maybe this will help you. I'm working to a "Antigonos Monophtalmos" scenario. I created a Title.gif ( a cool image of indian elephants charging the macedonian phalanx's formation ), - all colors and palettes were OK - and placed it into scen's directory... and every time it failed to load the game. Civ codes are unpredictable... Try to set back old values.

Well the name isn't that important so I'm gonna change that back, but I'll try a move of 24 1st and see if that works...I'm trying for something intercontinental here.

Okay, finally fixed. Note to self: Don't have 2 AI use "0" units available with Rocketry. D'oh! <

Not if you keep calling me Theban

Anyhous, my marine unit is upgraded to a Marine+ unit (real original name, huh?) with Rocketry. The gist of it is the unit gets +1 firepower. Unfortunately, the unit has an AI role number of "0" as does the Nuclear unit. Now Leo's upgrades the units into Marine+, but when the computer is trying to determine what to change obsolete build orders to, it (I think) scans the UNITS list from top to bottom, and the 1st unit that fits the bill (based mostly on AI role) is the one that the build orders are upgraded to. Guess what's before Marines+? So if the AI (or player) was building Marines when it discovered Rocketry, the build orders changed to Nukes! I guess the AI didn't feel like changing to something else...

And I said D'OH 'cuz I knew that happened with other units. I didn't expect it with nukes, tho'. It's 'fixed' by changing the Nuke AI role to 3.

Well, THAT didn't quite work either. Bear in mind that I have the regular "cruise" missile set to AI role "3" and the AI still uses them to pound my ships (they are set to be able to shoot down planes). I've never seen them move against a plane so I thought it would work for nukes. But I've seen the AI send 2 nukes against my planes so far (nukes can't shoot down planes), and another went around one of my cities to nuke an engineer (which just happened to be next to the city)!

So I give up; nukes set back to "0" and the infantry+/marines+ units have been moved to Combined Arms.
