Official TWC Bugs, Issues & Errata List for RTW

Thanks!

No, I have different figures. I'm a bit puzzled by the Arretium population, it should be much higher. Did you build troops there?

And for Segesta I got more or less the same (517 to your 520), but I played on medium unit size, perhaps that's the difference. I'll check.

In any case, 520 is too little for the 2.5% growth it should get, but equals almost exact the 2% growth it has without the 0.5% slaves.

It appears you don't get the slave bonus either.

edit: running on HUGE, gives me 518 in Segesta, I guess there is some rounding issue somewhere. In any case, if you didn't build any units in Segesta, then you surely did not profit from the 0.5% slave bonus.

Well, i didn't build anything so hmm,

**Germanus** · December 12, 2005, 12:15 PM

Right.

Anybody else up for this simple test?

**Germanus** · December 14, 2005, 06:55 PM

Still no slave growth bonus in 1.5

I would still be very gratefull if some people would perform aformentioned test.

**Gogoas** · December 14, 2005, 08:13 PM

Maybe it's magic?

**Borsook** · December 15, 2005, 01:07 AM

I will be doing all sorts of test to 1.5 this weekend, will also see about slaves, for now just tell yourself that slavery is immoral and don't use it :wink:

Can confirm Germanus's slave pop growth problem, I'm experiencing it as well. Same test protocol, different scenario. Conquered town, enslaved, did math hit end turn, didn't get the right population.
As for not using slavery, my pet mods revolve around zero build times for militia units, including the pre-marian legions, but limiting recruitment via ZoR of Italy. Romans run out of population FAST without enslavement. This bug really nixes that idea.

Not using slavery was a joke. So does it mean you don't get any population boost at all, or that the value is wrong?

**Pode** · December 18, 2005, 10:02 AM

Seems to be no boost at all. Not sure if the instant pop boost to governed towns is working or not. I have a theory about the source of the problem, but haven't tested it yet. I noticed that in the 1.5 EDB file, the boost to trade base value from ports has been commented out. Assuming that changes were made to trade that made the bonus excessive, perhaps something got borked in the calculation of slave trading routes. Perhaps slaves can be traded between ports but no longer by land.

I did catch the joke, I'm just so irritated by yet another bug that prevents me from playing the way I want to that I'm not finding it that funny

Edit: Never mind, just confirmed that this comment line was present in 1.2, back when slavery worked.

**Germanus** · December 21, 2005, 11:56 AM

Some further testing (over at the Guild) has so far only shown that slave-trading has never worked, with the possible exeption of 1.1

Throwing games is actually free of charge.

In the financial tab it will be noted, but when you actually compare the net-figure with what you have in your coffers, you'll see you didn't pay a thing.

Germanus runs off to issue build-orders for Arena's wherever possible

ok im not sure where to put this so ill put this here but i tryed installing the 1.5 patch i have 1.3 installed just fine but it doesnt work it says that it cant find the .exe file so im completely lost

**Erwin Rommel** · November 25, 2006, 02:32 AM

What about those of us who do not have Barbarian Invasion? Which of those bugs in the list apply to our games?

First of all do note that the list is old and does not take into account last RTW and BI patches (though they did not fix a lot, you can compare it to their fix list).

The exe files for RTW and BI are not that different, most bugs from BI appear in RTW too, the are some that just do not apply, since a given feature is not present in RTW but I cannot think of a bug that is in RTW exe and not in BI exe, or the other way around.

here are some really stupid AI siege tactics:

when you sally forth to meet them thy either do the following:

if theyr stronger than u, they stand next to ur walls with no siege engines and wait till their death.

if your stronger then then they retreat in a very messed up manner where ur cavalry can usualy run down their entire army.

moreover here some other graphical bugs:

the skirmisher animations show they still carry 3 spears although theyr out of ammo.

**Eccentric** · January 18, 2008, 11:47 PM

I had the weirdest bug ever in 1.1, it only happened once, I was fighting on a bridge and when I had routed the last enemy unit, the entire routing enemy army dropped dead on the bridge, all at once.

(not that I'm complaining

)

**Scutarii** · August 24, 2008, 03:35 PM

This thread is ridiculously old... It doesn't even cover the latest patches.

**Strategist** · October 16, 2008, 01:41 PM

I have a problem. It appears somewhere 211-209 BC. I think it has something do to with events. I google it and find there is a fix for certain years however it didn't helped I think because it was about other years. What events happen at this year? How to remove them. I cannot finish the game this way or need to do a speed game

I think the Roman factions have to take out the senate, and it counts the senate as a roman faction, and the senate can't kill itself so an error pops up.
It's just a guess I don't own or play the game so...
