[Multiplayer] Game crashes when changing palace policy.

So, I am playing coop multiplayer with a friend. Every time we open and close the palace policies, the game crashes. Doesn't matter which one of us tries to view/change the policies, as soon as we close the window, the game is gone, instantly.

We have a few mods, but nothing that affects the palace. Our biggest mod is new horizons.

Has anyone experienced anyhing like this?
We have already verified the game files.

EDIT:

For the weary wanderer, who stumbles across this problem in the future; I found the fix for our case.

This mod was the problem: More socket buildings

As soon as we unlocked the additional slots for trade unions, town halls, ect. from the palace, the game did not know what to do with the additional buildings, and proptly died.

[New Horizons] I still don't get the point of Horai

Okay, so you build up your island, have the second population tier and then you unlock.... trading companies?

And those trading companies allow you to produce stuff from the old world, only since you don't have electricity in Horai, they produce slower. What?

Yeah, they might use less population, but at this point it's not really an issue.

Why would I ever use the trading companies and go through the hassle of having to ship all that stuff back home if I could just build up my industry in the old world, with electricity and items?

Or I could just use docklands.

So, am I missing something?

Hot take, the great divide is not as bad as everyone makes it out to be

People always sh*t on the great divide, but I actually like it. The moral of burying an ancient feud that was so long ago that nobody can remember how it started always appealed to me.

Think about it, these people just accept Aangs story without questioning how a little Kid could have been there a hundred years ago. We know that Aang was frozen, but they don't.

They just are ready to accept his explanation because nobody knows what really happened. Both sides hate each other simply because they have been taught to hate each other.

So what if one of the tribes really was at fault? Thas was one hundred years ago, there is nobody left to atone for anything.

Just found out why my drive was so full. I had 71GB of savegames on it.

Maybe i could delete some of them, but what if I still want to continue later? 😂

[New Horizons mod] What is the goal of Horai?

I play Anno is multiplayer, so if there is a single player story, I don't know about it.

But what is the goal of Horai? The new world is for the stadium and airships / mail, Enbesa is for the Research Institute and the arctic is to get sweet items from nate. (And bragging rights for getting gas).

What is the goal of Horai? Is it just "number go up"?
I don't want to build, just to build. I need a greater goal.

Why does checking for UTF-8 without BOM work, but with BOM it doesn't?

I have a file reader that reads text file which are all UTF8, but some do not have a Byte Order Mark. Basically, this will give me the result i am looking for:

var utf8NoBom = new UTF8Encoding(false);
aReaderWithAFile.read()
if (Equals(aReaderWithAFile.CurrentEncoding, utf8NoBom))
{
    Console.WriteLine("No BOM detected")
}
else
{
    Console.WriteLine("BOM detected");
}

but this will always say "BOM detected", even if the file has none.

var utf8WithBom = new UTF8Encoding(true);
aReaderWithAFile.read()
if (Equals(aReaderWithAFile.CurrentEncoding, utf8WithBom))
{
    Console.WriteLine("BOM detected");
}
else
{
    Console.WriteLine("No BOM detected");
}

Can someone explain to me, why is this?

I read Lords and Ladies for the first time

I'm reading the novels in release order for the first time, and I finished Lords and Ladies.

Now this one was more my kind of story. I always enjoy the Witches books and this one was no different.

Coming from Dungeons & Dragons, I of course am aware of the more troublesome interpretations of fey. Also, I am always enjoying the metaphysics of the discworld. So the Idea of Jason the blacksmith having a kind of uneasy feeling about Elves because he is so in tune with iron was exactly the kind of almost magic that I enjoy.

Glad to see Magrat an Nanny Ogg getting a moment to shine besides Granny as well. Magrat going full warrior Queen was just great, and seeing Nanny Ogg use her most powerfull assets (read: her family) was so much fun. Her pumping Jason for information almost without saying anything or arranging for her grandchild to sway the witches duel in Grannies favor was clever. And of course Nanny threatening the Elven King with being forgotten (at least that's how I understood it).

One thing I always love about the witch magic in Discworld is the way it is *not* used sometimes. Granny Weatherwax said something about how sometimes it is better to not use magic to solve the problems, but help the people get there on their own. I don't remember the exact quote, but it basically describes Headology.

The way belief and "realness" are used, not just in this book, is somethingthat always inspires me. Like the idea that the land of Lancre belongs to the humans because by planting forests and crops and building streets and buildings, they changed it's metaphysical properties.

Now, I don't want this to be too long but I gotta mention Ridcully and the wizards. Glad to see witches and wizards collide. Ridcully being Grannys former love interest was an easy guess, but still a fun bit of character building. The only thing I am not too sure of, is how their ages work with the whole time shenannigans in Wyrd Sisters.

The Librarian is always fun to see. I am a little concerned about the Busar though, it seems he might crack sooner or later (poor Guy).

Also, I totally forgot who Casanunda was before the book reminded me, because I took so long with small gods that I forgot him from Witches Abroad.

Overall this is one of my favorites, both from the books in general and also from the witches series.

Don't know what skills to get.

I am playing archer build with a sword and shield as backup for when I am overrun by critters. (Daggers don't have any reach and are terrible in my opinion). I got blink for dodging, and a few mining skills because why not?

But now I have no Idea what else to do with my skillpoints. None of the skills left in the ranger tree sound interesting, even bee sting was just sonetghing I picked up but never use.

Any suggestions?
