Civilization 5: Brave New World Message Board  

The old trainers do not work with their corresponding scenarios in BNW. I tried loading them and they activate but don't work correctly. You can for example activate unlimited movement and you hear it activate but you don't have unlimited movement.

we have posted multiple times that if you update your game to civ 5 brave world, then you can no longer run the plain old vanilla civ 5 any longer. it's not been possible for us to update the old versions of the game. I suggest you go ahead and purchase the expansion or try to find another trainer.

also, we don't particularly like having to update THREE trainers each time this game patches, so we have settled on the latest iteration of the game which is brave new world.

The only time you have to update a trainer is when they release a big DLC, not every patch and that doesn't happen very often.

Maybe buying a yearly subscription expecting updated trainers was a bad move on my part. I won't make that mistake again.

Actually, the trainers do need to be updated everytime there is a patch. That's why the old trainers don't work for the old scenarios now. So the vanilla, and G&K trainers would also need to be updated each time there is a patch. While there have not been many patches lately, for a while there were patches coming all the time for this game.

CH is a great site. I've been using it for 4 years and really appreciate what they do.

Check out the post by Borenson on the bottom of the first page.

that's a pretty harsh statement considering we update trainers for 1000's of games, not just three versions of the civ 5 that are currently out. your statement about 'updating only when DLC' is factually incorrect. we have a log and I have updated vanilla civ 5 27 times, brave new world 2 times, and gods and kings 5 times. you certainly are free to find a better value for trainers than cheathappens but to claim we don't update our trainers is bunk.

have a nice day.

I apologize. I was mad at your tone. I didn't see where you had posted many times on updating. You do a good job making new trainers quickly.

The code is already written for the trainers. Updating them isn't like having to make a completely new trainer.

I know I'm just 1 person playing 1 game but it's the game I spend the vast majority of time playing. There are over 250 achievements which would literally take years to accomplish. I don't think as a paying customer that its unreasonable to ask that you take a few minutes to update 2 trainers. If you were paying for a service wouldn't you want the exact same thing?

The point isn't updating the older versions of the trainers, its getting the BNW trainer to work in the older scenarios too. Every time you start an older scenario, it says 'configuring game data', so I'm guessing they move where they store gold/movement/whatever which breaks the trainer? If so, is there some way to check or detect? I don't know how hard that would be, but I would really appreciate if it could be made to work with them as well.
