1.17f Bug Reports

[Spec]

What you dont understand is that I'll take every chance I get to make fun of Lib...He does the same to me...Ain't it fun!?

Sorry, correction. By patch I ment expansion-pack(always cheaper than the full game and doesn't work without the original CD)...Like Broodwar for Starcraft and where I live, we call them patches. Force of habbit.

And Lib, I know your going to take a shot at me in someway...I'm waiting...make it a good one this time....

No, my not. Honest.

[Spec]

What's gotten in to you Lib.?!?! Tell me you're still ok!! Dont tell me you like Civ3 all of a sudden!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!

Thank you for reporting that. Since the many bugs reported here have had no effect on you, we can all just disappear now.

Oh, come on, Lib... Someone was talking about how trading with the AI has become harder with the new patch, and I just wanted to comment. Unless you consider this "new" behaviour as a bug.

Anyway, I thoroughly apologize with you for posting such stupid comments on this most brilliant thread, master.

[Libertarian]

Well, then. See that you keep your wits about you in the future.

Weird Unit Movement Bug

I have experienced a weird bug while trying to move units.

Sometimes, when I'm done moving a unit, it doesn't get unselected automatically. The white circle stays around the unit, looking the way it does when a unit has no movement. The panel in the lower left corner says that the unit has no movement, but the little circle that reminds me that the turn needs to be ended doesn't flash. Sometimes this happens with the last unit that needs to be moved, other times with a different unit. So sometimes I have to end the turn, and sometimes I have to manually activate some other unit to get my turn going again. Sometimes, it happens more than once in a turn. What the heck is going on?

Civ II MGE, the MP version of Civ II, was released as a whole new game. Not an expansion pack, not a patch. The latest (last?) version of Civ II (v. 2.42) is not compatible with any MGE version. Effectively, two separate games with the same rules, etc. Spectator, you should know better than to start rumors that upset the newbies.

It's called Morpheus my friend, not rumors. I dled the expansion for Civ2, as the file name said, from Morpheus and installed it, thus my reason for thinking it was an expansion pack.
Blaupanzy, you should know better than making unfounded comments, and you should also dl Morpheus and see all the wonderful stuff that is available to you right away and not in stores. Sorry about that one Firaxis but dont worry, I bought the original Civ3...cause the dled one didn't work....

HernyMad I found your bug!

pikemen are disabled for greece in the units file

so does that mean we get 1.18f sooner?

just joking guys

Re:HernyMad I found your bug!

It's not so simple

1 - I'm playing as Babylonians
2 - By reloading the same savegame, sometimes (more often) the upgrade is possible, sometimes not
3 - I don't perform any other action: I just reload, select the city, select the spearman. Sometimes the upgrade button is available, sometimes not

I have seen this one, but it has happened since the first release. I usually just save and restart the game with no problems. I have a lower end machine, and others who have also had this problem seemed to have lower end machines also. Could be a problem with memory allocation...not sure.

Actually I thought that was a bug too. But since the hoplite has the same stats, without the resource requirement and is 10 shields cheaper, it's as designed.

Does the hoplite get the same defense bonus against mounted units as the pikeman does?

BTW, what is the defense bonus that the pikeman gets? The civilopedia just says it gets a bonus, but not how much.

[ACooper]

The pikeman does not get a bonus against mounted units. The Civilpedia is in error.
