I think it's just a matter of replacing my longbows with HRE UU, don't think crossbows are supposed to be any different? But yeah it is a lot to ask for

[Krill]

But you need something as a placeholder for pikes as well.

[yuris125]

Ahhh I see what you mean. Yes we could pick a same cost unit, such as crossbow, which would need to be changed to a pike on request. If Scooter is willing to do the manual change (which would also slow down the game significantly)

I think the workaround I posted last night, if it works, would be a better solution - we can do it a few turns from now so that everyone is prepared to lose hammers invested in current queues. It is far from ideal of course, but at least we can carry on without the need of manual intervention every turn

I checked the updated mod, it does fix the issue

I'm really enjoying this game and I'd hate to see it end due to this bug.

I'd be willing to sign a "no knight invasions" charter if that'll let us resume.

[yuris125]

I agree that it has been a very interesting game and it ending like this would be great shame

It is a generous offer which I appreciate. Nonetheless, have to say that I do have fair few reservations about it, in terms of options available to me as well as others. But if it's the best way for the game to continue, and everyone agrees to it, then let's keep going

[Krill]

I want to play on, but I have a number of reservations, none of which are insurmountable.

I think the world builder file approach is unworkable: think of the effect on wonder builds, on beakers invested into alternative techs. This is a none starter to me.

I don't want to put anyone else in a position they need to fix the game every single turn. It just sounds horrific, but TBH I am close to the edge anyway in RL (too much shit going on, I can play turns but actually doing much is beyond what I can manage right now).

This was always a test of process. we can all read F9, the scoreboard and a diplo screen to understand the game state, not like we need to play any further except for fun. I have no issue playing on with whatever adjusted rule set players can agree with whilst we watch Commodore do whatever he wants to. Hell, we could all give Yuri a 40 turn moratorium on warfare, whatever works.

[Thoth]

I'm also enjoying the game and would like to continue if we can.

I agree that the WB approach isn't workable at this point, the GPP counters resetting to zero is enough to kill that idea.

If needs be, I can shelve my plans for invading Yuris with Knights.

[Krill]

Pindi, do you have any thoughts?
