PTW 1.14f Bug & Crash Reports

Yes, my military advisor yesterday was very slow and, at one point, froze up.

Another curiosity: at one point I clicked on a town to see what units were there and the list included, among other things, a "musketman". I thought I'd upgraded everyone to "mech infantry" (that's how far along I was in the game!). I clicked on "musketman" and the mech infantry icon appeared.

Tried it several times but he remained labelled "musketman".

There have been a few other oddities but I can't recall them now.

if you had a musketmen generate a leader, and you set it's custom name as "musketman", then it will maintain it as you upgrade it.

I have found a repeatable Crash.
I have an Army in a City with 4 Riflemen in it. I take out the Rifleman, move it north of the city, then back into the city and attempt to upgrade it to an Infantry. The game crashs and exits. The city probably has 50 or so units in it.

Windows XP BTW and where should I send the save file?

My military advisor screen runs absurdly slow as well. Is this confined to scenarios? Don't feel the inclination to use the ****ty default rules to see if this is limited to scenarios.

Great quote by George Carlin ... too bad there's an element of truth to it however if it wasn't for the US we'd all be speaking German right now and wearing lots of leather. Hmmm.

I would like to know why there are so many instances in the game where a dialog appears where one must double-click on a choice where a single click should suffice. This includes dialogs where there is no "O X" (continue / cancel, I presume) also present. Also, why was it necessary to require DirectX 8.1, eliminate Windows95 as a supported platform, and take over the machine almost completely? It is not as if the game is performing arcade-level graphical feats.

Disbanding Error:

multiplayer lags. yea. that aside, you can disband the same unit over and over again and get the shield bonus over and over again. screen shot attached.

consquently, you can see me getting b1tched out by Carthage. The AI got better soren

Remap keys?

Is there a way to do this? I like the TAB key being used for cycling through my units. I know W works still, but TAB is better IMO.

Anyone know when the next patch is expected?

I just recently purchased PTW and am involved in a hotseat game. If I download the latest patch (1.14?), will I lose the game that I'm currently playing?

Also, do you need to download the other patch (1.129), or will dowloading 1.14 pick up any improvements from 1.129?

Auto bombard needs tuning. It only works effectively with units that have 2 range bombard. There also needs to be a stack auto bombard function.

I dont think you need to patch civ3 to 1.29 before installing and patching PTW v1.14. I think PTW and its patch bring the base civ3 up to speed.

It's a small bug that tactical nuke unit has explore command enabled. It's easy to fix with the editor. I post it nonetheless to help firaxis fix it with next patch.

[Inverse Icarus]

the game kept selling my crap despite the fact that i was in the black. sigh.

[Inverse Icarus]

notable things:

the "we love the king day", "cultural expansion" type news should have the city associated with them in MP.
