Tribal Phase Socializing

Serris · 09-09-2008, 03:02 AM

ok, when i walk to another tribe with my creatures (having two instruments) and initiate socializing, nothing happens =S my creatures are just standing there with the chieftain, standing around their guys. i can't click on the instruments ('this ability isn't ready yet'), and the bar doesn't move. i've tried this without instruments, with the same effect (only i don't get the icons for the instruments). Am i doing something wrong?

I noticed the same bug, it happened after my tribe leader got stuck in an action. I guess it was tame animal for domestic use or something.

After that my tribe leader was completely useless, he would still walk, eat etc. But he wouldn't gather, fight or socialize anymore at all.

I had to delete 'the planet' and start over. (Using my existing creature and it's progress.)

Multiple save files or a restart button would have been nice at that point, but at least delete world didn't make me loose all of my progress.

Having the same issue (Chieftan bugged out!)

same thing, but i fixed it. 2 choices : use the chieftan to steal enemy food then get him killed by not going back to your tribe, or simply let him starve. He respawned and the rest of the game went perfectly.

Reading your post it looks exactly the same like my bug. The only way around it for me was to delete that world and start a fresh one in tribal phase, using my old creature for it.

Only thing I lost because of it was a part of it's history alas, but still it's better then not being able to continue at all.

Hopefully this could be added to be fixed for a future patch

Or at least a restart phase completely button

Getting my chieftain killed wasn't an option for me at that point, all hostile tribes around me and him getting killed was the end. At which point it would load the last saved game (instead of restarting fully) and the last saved game had my bugged chief again :P
