Issue: Sudden Death now effects Nomad type maps
Both Nomad and Land Nomad now are effected by Sudden Death, previously not being effected at all.
I say Nomad but truthfully this applies to any map that uses the following function:
mutable void applySuddenDeath()
{
// Override and do nothing here for Sudden Death.
}
While using this still disables Sudden Death in the other ways you would expect (Sudden Death Tents Not Spawning, Close/Far/Bonus Settlements Will Spawn), it no longer prevents your first town center from being a Citadel Center.
This means that if the Citadel is destroyed, the player will instantly lose. I have tested further and additional town centers constructed are not citadel centers.
Since this bug was introduced with the Ultimate Supporter Pack, I suspect this bug is in relation to the Ultimate Supporter Pack checking each player to see if they are a supporter or not to see if they should modify the Town Center accordingly, resulting in this bug where it now forces a Citadel Center after that check in Sudden Death regardless of the empty applySuddenDeath() function is employed or not. But I am speaking completely out of speculation and actually have no idea what I’m talking about here because I am an outsider to the game’s code with no information.
Honestly though, I like this change and think it is a good way to implement Sudden Death into Nomad type maps, it just has the unintended side effect of making custom maps effected by this change now. This is definitely way cooler than having Sudden Death do nothing on Nomad type maps. Perhaps in the future there can be a manual and applied implementation of this feature specifically to Nomad’s code/library while reverting the original empty applySuddenDeath() to act the way it originally did to not effect custom games?
