Problems and bug

[Charriu]

While looking through other mods changelogs I noticed this entry in K-mod

'%' characters are now automatically removed when renaming a city. (City names with percentage signs can cause the game to crash.)

I will implement that fix at some later point, but until then please refrain from naming your cities with "%" in the name.

Civac found another bug related to decaying hammers. This is another bug present in the base BtS game. To trigger it you have to do the following.

1. Invest some hammers into something for example a warrior.
2. Build something else, but do not let it finish production. Meaning build something that takes long like the pyramids
3. Let all the hammers of the warrior decay.
4. Now stop the pyramids and start a new warrior. You can even throw the warrior out of the building queue and put it back in as long as you do this the same the warrior fully decayed.
5. Invest a turn of hammers into the warrior.
6. Start building something else again like a settler. Invest one turn into it.
7. Notice that the hammers into the warrior start decaying immediately and the game did not wait for 10 turns.

This is just a heads-up for everybody else and a reproduction step-by-step for me. I will see that I will fix this bug in future versions.

Both of these bugs are fixed in 2.0

There were also the bug causing slower hammer decay because the check for hammer decay is after production (and thus potentially after items are completed). And the bug that the game incorrectly calculates required population for whipping in certain situations when there modifiers present (forge, OR) and the exact amount of invested hammers to enable the whip is reached. Are those fixed as well?

[Charriu]

The first one is fixed

The second is not fixed. I just tested it. An example is whipping a grocer with 15 hammers invested with forge and Organized Religion. The game demands 4pop. If you do pop4 whip the grocer will be at 195/150. The case with 25%/75% modifiers is even more borked. This is not academic. This issue crept up in PB55.

irrelevant PB55 info:

I tried to coldwhip a longbowman in a size 4 (or 5) city with forge. The game wouldn't let me. If I had had size 6 it would have been a pop3 whip with the longbowman ending up at 74/50.

Sorry, that you tested it. I had hoped that my post implies that this isn't fixed. I am aware of that problem, but it is harder to fix due to a lot of dependencies.

[civac2]

Ah, OK. I misunderstood you. If it's on your list it's fine.

Hi Charriu, i downloaded the mod 3 days ago and it seems that the names of the new german and american UU are not correct. They are both named "Immigration Station" (the american UB) instead of "Riesengarde" and "Minuteman".

So far the mod hasn't been translated to other languages.

So far the mod hasn't been translated to other languages.

So that problem only occurs because i have the german version? The japanese UB is also named "immigration station". Just wanted it to mention since other german players will have that problem too in PB59.
