Skimmed through the firaxian patch report, and noticed a little bit elementary goody stuff. Ok nice, but I saw something alarming too:

"Restricted roads/railroads from being built on terrain that has no road bonus. "

What's this **** supposed to mean?

Aha! I am SO glad that it was documented SOMEWHERE!
In the version 1.29 Editor; Terrain tab I had changed Tundra's Terraform Bonus for Roads to '0' (from '1'). My intent was to make tundra useless except for colonies (I had also disabled planting forests on tundra).

Then in the 1300's (AD) I went to build a road on tundra and was unable to do so. Now all the tundra that didn't already have forests on it is TOTALLY worthless, and any strategic resources on it will be totally unaccessible.

I've noticed that I've had to turn off the damn muzak that comes with the game a number of times. It seems to be able to turn itself on with 1.29. Wierd stuff.

Incorrect screens for Theory of Evolution advancements

I'm not sure if this is new to 1.29, but I don't recall seeing it in 1.21 (though I might not have been paying attention). I just got Theory of Evolution, and I got two screens which were for The Great Library. The message was something like "The Iriquois and the Persions have taught us Feudelism, what would you like to research next?". I'm not sure if it was exacly that, but the point is it was clearly a Great Library screen, and I got it when being offered my choices from the Theory of Evolution. 1.29 patch, no mods.

Obviously not a big deal since I got my tech advancements, but it was a bit odd that since the Iriquois and the Persians had learned Feudelism I was going to get Atomic Theory...

I almost finished my WWII scenario, and I wanted to playtest what I have so far, but the game crashes once the scenario loads.....Every time I get this message :

Anyone has any idea what might be causing it?
Here is the file for people to look at

Entering a new age is still not announced when you get there by trading techs.

Replay shows wrong graph label

In the replay at the end of the game, the histograph is initially labeled "power" but it is really "score". If you select something different from the drop-down, you get the correct graph. (or if you select power again, you get the actual powergraph). The wrong graph is displayed only before you touch the dropdown menu.

I'm not playing Civ3 until they fix this!

The AI refuses to make an offer for your World or Territory Map if it thinks it should cost more than it can pay (even though you would be satisfied with less).

A small bug exsisting from v1.07

I wonder why Firaxis dodn't noticed it.

Still, it's not realy crucial for gameplay, just annoying.

The civilopedia entry for 'Economics' fails to mention the new ability to double the effect of wealth production.

Yes, I know it's a rather small bug, but Firaxis really seems to care about civilopedia typos ...

How do you double the effect? I couldn't find anything in the readme file.

[Ribannah]

Reported this before, but it still happens (and already did in Civ2).
Sometimes when you re-allocate a city's workers and then put them back on the original squares, the number of shields after waste is one lower, and there's no way to restore what you got before except by reloading the autosave. Very, very annoying when you're building the Forbidden Palace and waste is already increasing all the time (because you've founded more cities ).

Just by researching Economics. From then on, producing 'wealth' in a city will yield the double amount of gold per turn.

Good to know, thanks lockstep.

This is an editor bug, but the supposedly "appropriate" thread over in the Creation forum has turned into a long persistent whine about the lack of event scripting. So I'm reporting this here...

The "Allow Cities" checkbox does not work when you uncheck it. For instance, I set desert, jungle and tundra to not allow cities. First game I started there was a huge mass of tundra to my south. Part way through the game the AI English come along a plop a city down in the tundra. So much for that new "feature" in the editor.
