Further to my investigations http://www.civ3duelzone.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=102 I am testing how 1.21 has dealt with various PBEM bugs in 1.41

So far a multiplayer PBEM game started by myself and played all the way through (without saving at all) has got the level Correct for myself and the AI and doesn't have Acc Prod on.

Its looking good.

Next PBEM game started as if I were starting a proper 1v1.

Choose AI level at MP screen (Deity)
Remove Acc Prod.
Set up two human players and 6 AI

Launch the game.
After every turn, save and exit.
Load game from Load Game option on Starting Menu every turn.

Hit return a lot.

AI level is Deity. Human level is deity (only one content civilian per city)

This WORKS!

Hmm go to test the infinite reload bug.

Find that I CANNOT SAVE mid-turn???

This bug is fixed, but be warned, make sure you have enough time to play your ENTIRE turn (how long did your turns take at the end of the anarres-ERIKK game guys?) before you start it!

Mel, of course we played our turns in 1 go, otherwise you hit the reload bug. Or was there some way you could save and reload without getting the bug?

I have copied the 1.21f no-cd patch locally:

Mel, I assume from the lack of bug reports that this appears to be OK with you?
