[TECH] PB52 Tech Thread

Thanks Ramk. Turn played, over to you Mjmd.

@Swapped Ports: I fixed this set RB52 back to 2052 and RB54 on 2054!

Reason for this bug: I've probably forgot to update the port of RB54's CivilizationIV.ini. It was still containing 2052 because I've copied this folder.
We didn't recognize this earlier because Civ4 picks the next free port if someone is already used.

Could that be the reason for the multiple connection problems we had so far?

Was able to play a morning turn. Should I have played a morning turn, different question, but I did it.

My gut feeling says no, but for lack of a better theory, I would say maybe.

D&D session tonight, so probably won't play my normal slot; unless it gets boring!

Attention!

I was notified that I have a serious flaw in my corporation change. If you spread a corporation with the free Executives before the Corporation HQ is founded, then the HQ can't be founded by anyone. Unfortunately the way HQ and Corp spreading works, required me to make the following change for future versions:

Executives are only able to spread a Corporation if the HQ is already founded.

This is the cleanest way to address the issue. Now what does this mean for the currently running games. We have two options:

1. We update the mod once again with my fix included
2. We do nothing. The game will either end before corporations can be founded or everybody makes sure only to spread corporations if the HQ is already founded.

I leave the decision to the players.

[Old Harry]

I have no strong opinion

[Jowy]

I have no idea how Corporations work and at this point I'm too afraid to ask

[AutomatedTeller]

I think waiting until the corporation is founded makes sense. When do the free executives show up?

[Mjmd]

When you get the tech (change in mod). As the other tech threads are saying, just don't settle it!
