If Yuris is ok with playing on and getting things fixed later (this might be an issue if he wants to build his UU instead of Longbows) then let's play on. But if this is going to cause problems that need more than a reloaded save with new xml file then we should pause and wait for Zulan.

If we're playing on then you're up Krill.

I'd we do it jow it's a basic seap and reload (I think). If we play on then it's a nightmare due to the wrong units being built and i dont think we can fix it in that scenario. I'd like to.give Zulan until at least tomorrow to answer.

[Thoth]

Sounds good.

[Thoth]

Sounds good.

Should we pause just in case Zulan isn't responding?

[yuris125]

I paused

I'd say if we don't have a response by 9-10pm UK time tomorrow we play on, this way we won't miss a day

It's possible this is already known, but for what it's worth, my testing suggests that when/if the xml change is made:
- Any Longbows the HRE has already produced will continue to be Longbows controlled by the HRE.
- Any Longbows the HRE has queued for production in a city will disappear from the queue; any hammers invested in them at that point are lost forever.
- The HRE will thereafter be able to start building their UU from scratch (and will no longer be able to build longbows).

[yuris125]

Thanks for testing! Hammers invested in longbows disappearing is the biggest issue, and why I think we need to either get it fixed before my turn, or accept no UU for me (which I'm ok with, in the interest of not holding the game)

[Dreylin]

Since the UU is currently flagged as a Pikeman, would that cause any issues for HRE to produce Pikes, or would they be replaced by the UU?

[yuris125]

Oh good point - yeah, doesn't look like I can ever build pikes

[Commodore]

Okay, this absolutely needs changing. Nothing the admins/Scooter can do?
