Civ 5: GMR 8 - A Beyond Earth Prequel (G&K, BNW)

[Silverraptor]

We have no current plans to Ship of the line Brazil.

We come in peace.

Given the era, I'm kinda relieved it took this long for my civilization to be discovered. Given the warmongers in the game.

[Maryring]

And since I'm already in a war, I've little interest in starting another.

[Illven]

So I'm Brazil in a game of warmongers. Oh goodie.

(Not in the face, please. Not In The Face!!!)

You said it best after all.

[Dada]

I don't know the situation. (Because Gandhi lacks nuclear weaponry)

We have plenty of nuclear weapons...

[Silverraptor]

I'm having a problem with loading the current save. Every time I enter in my password, it loads for a second, freezes, and crashes. Anyone know why this might be?

The mod linked in this thread, should help.

That mod is not helping. It only wants to load singleplayer games, not multiplayer games.

Nevermind. I got the mod to work, but it's still crashing.

[Illven]

Try reverting, and sending the turn again?

[Silverraptor]

Try reverting, and sending the turn again?

Okay Just did that.

[Maryring]

May be because I offered you some trade agreements when I found you. I didn't this time, so hope that helps.

[Silverraptor]

Well, my game is still crashing. I'm verifying the game data now.

[Silverraptor]

Yeah, I've tried everything I can think of. Can't get the game to stop crashing after I enter in my password.

[Dada]

Did you manage to get the de-bloat mod working? You have to combine it with another mod to allow it to load hot seat games. Also, everyone please remember to close Civ completely before taking your turn. Apparently is this the main cause of savefile-bloating and the related crashes.

I have 2 mods that I've tried that was suppose to help, but neither of them did help. I don't know if either of them are the "de-bloat" mod you are mentioning.

[Dada]

This one: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfil.../?id=267554865, which seems different from the one you've already tried. Note that you another mod (Custom Advanced Setup Screen https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfil...s/?id=75500984) to be able to load hot seat save files with that mod and fix the files.

Tried it and it crashed once again. At this rate, I may as well have the game skip me and see if I can play next time around. Unless anyone else has another suggestion.

[Dada]

We might need someone with a more powerful system to de-bloat the save file, since it's apparently too messed up for your PC to handle. You can upload it to dropbox and pass a link to me, or you can just skip and see if it works next time.

Should we try and revert it to your turn instead? Maybe that will work?

[Dada]

We can do that, or just pass me the save file directly. I don't think I need to be able to actually play the turn to do the de-bloating.

[Silverraptor]

How do I revert the turn all the way back to you? Or do you need to do it? Also, how does a file get bloated? What exactly happened and what does that mean?

[Dada]

I don't know if I can revert all the way back myself, or whether we need to cooperate on it. In either case, we should probably get ok's from the other players first.

Save file bloating happens due to a bug in Civilization and it means that loading the save gets bloated for some reason (file size is a good indicator of when this is happening) and gets progressively harder and more demanding of the game to load, until it eventually results in crashes once the file is too bloated. The issue mainly occurs if you have saved previously in the same session - for that reason, everyone should always restart Civilization completely before each of their GMR turns.

[Silverraptor]

And the other option? How would I send the file straight to you?

[Dada]

I have sent you a PM with my email. Otherwise you can put it in a dropbox (you should be able to create an account for free if you don't have one already) which will let you post a link to the file here.

It is with the deepest sorrow in our hearts, that the English empire reports fleets of Impi's were caught trying to sail towards English coastline. The amount of Impi's can only mean an intent to declare war from the Zuluian people.

Thus, we have no choice, but to show the robotic overlords that have taken command of the Zuluian people, why you do not screw around with an English navy.

Zuluian cities that comply with English laws, will be left unharmed. All others will be dealt with as enemies to the empire.

The Zuluian invasion force response canceled our lux trade with them.

We notice you had spare wine, would you be willing to trade if for spare gold?

Now hopefully that lie keeps them out of my hair for a little while. Long enough to take the Zulu's capital at least.



The first English war was said to start in 1200 AD. After workshops began to be built in the most holy city.




As our people finished this strange wondrous new bow, we started to abide by higher rules of laws in combat.



Zurich fears the coming flames. But they will not be seared by the holy light. At least not yet.



Symbol of pain continues to fast.



Our Caraval scouts out Polish lands.



Welp.



Let's get this party started!




Oh well. Time to trade with Poland.



As the Ships of the line start to descend on their prey.




Wave after wave of divine fire burst forth from the ship's cannons, striking down the Zuluian enemies where they stood.




The Burning hate will offer no mercy to enemies of the Empire.





They descend on their prey like holy sharks.






As screw it. Zutara tries to get the Best ship in the fleet award, raiding a merchant ship, and blasting apart an Impi.




At home, all is peaceful in Jozan.



As a slave band starts to work on iron, for the defense fleet.



Dawnbreaker is quiet as well.



This worker mines a normal hill.




Symbol of Pain watches out for a Zulu scout.








We will upgrade. To Longbows. One day... But perhaps someone seeing Comp.Bows will try to attack us. And fall into our trap.



Our great person waits.




Our cargoship relocates.



Our Trireme continues to move home.

Welp. The game decided now was a time to spam me with yet another useless great prophet. And whenever the game spams a great prophet at me, I can't load it. So I'm gonna have to skip this turn. And I finally got another culture policy too. Fingers crossed the AI picks the right policy. I'll settle any deals next turn.
