It seems to be in MM2_scenario.SLC in ...\ctp2_data\default\gamedata. If you open this file with notepad and look for this part:

Code:

  ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
 /// Population Boom code for the Medieval Mod II by David Reznichek ///

  ///////////////////////////////
 /// Demographic Shifts code ///
///////////////////////////////

// This section handles the two major demographic shifts
// that occur in the game. The first is a population boom
// following the discoveries of Germ Theory and later
// Immunization. The second occurs when the player
// possesses both Contraception and Equal Rights which
// ends the growth spurt.
//
// The idea behind this is the so-called Four Demographic
// Transitions in the lifespan of a culture. You start out
// with a high birth rate, but balanced by a high death
// rate. So your population grows slowly. Eventually you
// get to high birth rate but low death rate, hence the
// population booms. So you have the rapid growth rates
// in the West during the 19th century which accompanied
// important advances in medicine. These were introduced to
// the Third World in the 20th century.
//
// The widespread use of improved methods of birth control
// coupled with the growing numbers of independent career
// women has dramatically reduced birth rates in the West
// during the second half of the 20th century. These
// reforms are presently being attempted in the Third
// World, but it's slow-going there for now. This is the
// third transition: low birth rate and death rate, slower
// population growth.
//
// In the game, when a civ discovers Germ Theory a free
// improvement will be created in each of its cities that
// gives +10% food. The same thing happens after discovering
// Immunization, for a total bonus of +20% food. Then once
// the civ has both Contraception and Equal Rights the
// buildings are removed from all cities.


// generate popup messages when
// advances are discovered

           }
         } elseif (CityHasBuilding(tmpCity, "IMPROVE_IMMUNIZATION")) {

       } elseif (CityHasBuilding(tmpCity, "IMPROVE_IMMUNIZATION")) {
               DestroyBuilding(tmpCity, BuildingDB(IMPROVE_IMMUNIZATION));
       }
     }
  }
}

and probably delete it. Make a backup of the file though obviously. It may cause some other problems, but I don't have MM2 installed to test what might happen, so just come back if anything else needs fixing to continue without problems.

Thanks,

I've found and revomed the code,. but unfortunatly it didn't fix the problem.
I have to check and find out again what could trigger the bug.

**cap601** · May 29, 2007, 10:09

The change won't affect any current games you have. You'll need to start again to see if that has fixed the bug.

**Protra3211** · May 29, 2007, 16:06

I think I know what might work.Go to the CtP2 prgram file .Open it and then look for a file names -userprofile-
In this file look along the list for- DebugSlic=Yes change it to =No .I have played this mod and recall if you dont do this, at times some slic files will cause a bug or crash.Good luck.

Can he reload slic to carry on with the same game? I have no idea about those things.

**Ekmek** · May 29, 2007, 23:38

in the scenario/cheat editor there is a reload slic option

The problem is that that wouldn't fix the bug if the code was faulty. The code works by adding a dummy building that gives the bonus and by removing it after other conditions are met. Deleting the code would just stop the building ever being removed. If the building can be sold manually then reloading the SLIC could stop the problem.

NB: I have no experience of SLIC whatsoever.

No E, cheating is a bad and therefore using the cheat editor is a bad idea, too. Espeacilly if we have better a way to do it. Simply open the chat window by typing the apostrophe key (') for instance and then enter: /reloadslic
