At first I did not believe this guy, now I did it myself. I demanded the Japanese to pay me 9999999999, and they agree, and I got pay every turn in that amount. WTF, the Japanese is alredy beaten up, they have no city left, (settles somewhere) and 0 gold in their treasury. And I still got paid that amount.
My game is totally ruined now. I can't believe this bug actually exists. They were supposed to check for this during debugging weren't they?
Another thing, when I tell my units to more to a spot which will take them 10 turns to get to, they just make the first move, and then stop. WTF???? I have to manually move those units each and every time? and what's more? I have to move each unit individually.
......
this game quickly gets tiresome, I'm greatly disappointed.

how did this bug survive? because the firaxis people actually played the game instead of tryingevery possible cheat they could think of... and, this is exactly what they shoudl have done, knowing the people on this site

The "cheat" as such is that the computer nations are obviously losing nothing at all in agreeing to this. While extorting millions may be an extreme example, if you demand 5 a turn not only do you want your country to be richer but your target that little bit poorer and weaker. If they don't have to cut back on military maintenance or other expenditures its not achieving its objective.

still. does this cheat really exist?

[dexters]

i just tried it, and it works.

[Zanzin]

Don't worry. I'm sure the first patch will fix things up

[Fidel]

try playing on regent. you will not have a chance to demand such a tribute LOL

[Grim Legacy]

One thing is for sure. I'll never use this. It would spoil the game completely.

This is a real bug indeed. But the give-all-cities with all warriors next to them and retakeing them the next turn comes close too.

//edit:// oh if it doesn't work above Regent I'm safe!

LOL. We must be in the same timezone or something!

The designer notes are missing it seems, or perhaps the Thank You note was meant.

I TOLD YOU!!!


check this post

[Auk]

heh. well its not exactly a disaster in single player is it... reminds me of the "money" cheat in simcity1..

[Alexander's Horse]

This is really sloppy game testing, really sloppy. Hang your head Firaxis.

What's the betting that this bug will occur whenever you ask for an amount over 65535 (or maybe 32767).

Sounds like a classic signed/unsigned or overflow bug to me.

Limits like that were in Civ2 (not bug-related though) too; 255 units, 32767 gold... uhm and what else?
