I've never run up against this limit.

It's a large data file being output by a monte carlo generator.

Now I have to split the output, run it through some other analyses and remerge the results.

Very annoying.

To solver:

As far as the filesystem is concerned, I think it's an old version of NFS. I'm not an admin and they move slowly around here, so it's not going to get upgraded any time soon.

Spy Problem

OK, so I'm running the Apolyton mod in CTP2. I am playing my first game at the hard level, and managed to get myself pretty far behind the rest of of the countries as far as technology goes. So, I figure I'll just steal my way up the ladder to catch them. My spies stole a couple technologies, but now it seems they can't. Whenever I attempt to steal a technology from a city, it puts an X on the city and gives the cash register sound. I know they still have many more technologies left to steal. What gives?

Also, on a possibly related note, my treasury keeps going down at light speed for no apparent reason. It gets close to zero, then works its way back up to maybe $2000 over a couple turns, then falls off again. This might be related, or I might have managed to overextend my finances somehow.

Are either of these a glitch, or is there something I'm missing.

Thanks for your help!

It costs 2000 gold each time you try to steal a tech.

i am an idiot. So, basically, if you have less than 2000, it wont let you try to steal? Makes sense. I should have figured as much. Thanks
