4.0's sack settlement bug

**night_owl** · December 14, 2007, 10:25 PM

hey ya'll, any chance of a bit of information.... i use ss4.0 still (i know...a while old now!but im mostly happy with it) but there is an annoying bug that im sure kk has fixed in newer versions...its where you take a settlement and then click exterminate...and it sacks the settlements buildings... now if you press sack instead then...it doesnt seem to do anything at all...and occupy just occupies... just wondering if anyone knew what i could change to fix this.......... thx for any potential help!

so the question remains....how can i change this sack settlement bug? :hmmm:

Maybe you broke something when making your changes? I don't recall such a bug in 4.0.

You could back-up your current installation and call it whatever you want to call your mod, and install 4.1.

ah well thanks anyway guys, maybe i did mess somethin up when i changed all the files over time... ill have to put up with it, and yeah i was gonna buy kingdoms and install ss5.1 but i dont really have much HD space left really for 2 med2 installations(and an expansion!)

I think armies are supposed to sack and burn stuff when you exterminate... :S Mine always do. Especially if they have siege weapons with them (I think).
