4 Corners of the World - FFA - BBG BBM (fdee5251)

good luck have fun!

loving the pace so far.

I thought there must be an error when I had another move within about an hour of sending mine. :joy:

Yes, GLHF, all!

I came into this late, so I’m sorry if this is a question already addressed… Are there any barbarians in this game? Just want to know if I have a chance at any of those tech boosts. Thanks!

Yes, they’re set to BBG’s Civilized, so fairly quiet overall but you still need to whack em

Anyone knows why Great Scientists are currently ā€œall individuals of this type have already been earnedā€? Is it a feature that I somehow completely ignored where there’s no more Classical Era GScientists since we’re very close to entering Classical Era? :confused:

I’ll ask around a bit but if this is a bug (and especially if this never gets fixed by a new era) I might have to revert.

Edit: and ofc if you guys properly see the queue of Great Scientists in your game, let me know, but I doubt it. I use Real Great People but it’s cosmetic only.

It’s up to you - I highly suspect it’s a bug so we’d need to revert 2 turns back, or we can wait 2 turns and experiment to see.

I also noticed that only one has been claimed and mine reads the same as yours, ā€œAll individualsā€¦ā€ If anyone is willing to say, did they claim a great scientist or were there never any? Strange. We can revert, or we play it out since it impacts all of us in the same way?

I did claim Hypatia, on turn 28 (popped a Project for it). Then, it was as you can see now.

I’m trying to fiddle in singleplayer to see if I can reproduce this ā€œshortageā€ of GScientist and see what happens in Classical Era.

In any case if we have no GScientist for the rest of the game it’s definitely a revert :smile:

Hmhm…
Loading the PYDT archived turn of my turn 28 causes the same thing - If I recruit Hypatia, nothing comes after.

However if I load the initial turn 1 and spam shift-enter (with a cmapus and projects), after recruiting Hypatia I properly get a queued-up Gscientist. Strange.

I’ll experiment a bit but yeah, maybe a revert to turn 27 is in order.

I hope everyone properly has 5.8.1 local BBG.

Edit: I’m fiddling with Reverts rn.

Edit: Unfortunately reverting to turn 28 wasn’t enough - I once again got an empty queue after Hypatia.
let’s try turn 27.

Fuck. The same bug happened again. (I even disabled Real Great People because you never know).

Dammit. I’m at a loss. I’ll try to tinker a bit more but I’m afraid we’ll need to go back to turn 1 or generate another map, idk…

It’s most likely gonna be a scrap if you guys don’t have any suggestion or if Calcifer/other tech guys don’t have a genius idea. :sob:

Edit: ā€œJust playing without great scientistsā€ isn’t an option because while I was tinkering with the save, turns out recruiting a Great Admiral also shows that there’s no more in the game after that…

Maybe there’s hope. I have managed to create a similar game and the bug happens (or not) depending on which mods I enable/disable. I feel like there’s a way we can salvage this by having everyone use the same (maybe useless) mods.

i’m fine with whatever seems like the best option. would definitely stick around for a restart or installing other mods.

The poor people of this world experiencing Groundhog Turn

Allright, here’s the research I came up with.
I created a singleplayer game that is in most ways similar to ours, played a few turns and started generating towards a Great Scientist, then saved.
Using that save 2 turns before obtaining the Gscientist, I am able to reproduce the bug by removing a mod from those I have loaded on the main menu. If I load that mod on the main menu then load the save, it works perfectly and I get a queue of GScientists showing up.

I tried reverting just one step back (to matt_lambert’s turn) and have him play with the mod. However, that didn’t fix anything.

So as a last resort, I suggest the 4 of us try the following:

Get the mod in the link below and place it in My Games/Sid Meier’s Civ6/Mods (similarly to how you placed BBG 5.8.1 Static).
Before loading your turn, make sure you go into Mods and set PerfectWorld to be enabled.
Once you’re in the game make sure the mod is running (Press Esc then scroll down the list of Mods/Official Firaxis DLCs until you can read PerfectWorld in the list).

If it’s there, play the turn as you please, then send it through PYDT as usual.

I’m reverting the game to one full turn before I unlocked Hypatia and hope that’ll do the trick.

I’ll prepare a scrap. Most likely will require a new PYDT lobby, but shouldnt take long

Should we all surrender from the old one?

Once we’re out, sure. In the meanwhile I’ll stay here (and endure the ā€œit’s your turnā€ notification).

We’ll keep the civs since the draft was done.
Also… if everyone was happy with their start, I guess I could keep the settings and map seed of the previous map? Except this time I won’t have faulty mods that I don’t need…

(You can delete PerfectWorld btw)
