Data Angels ProbeTeam Bug

I just seem to recall hearing that only tha alpha(x) got incorporated.

To the best of my knowledge only the #UNITS Section of the alpha(x).txt file gets incorporated into a game. Also, I am fairly certain that the Factions are not incorporated into a game, either.
However, the way to verify this is to generate a game on one machine, and then have the changes verified on another machine, as there does seem to be something "quirky" about scenario'd changes being carried over locally. FYI.

The factions too.

That I don't know. But it seems (info from Maniac) that the morale level is not affected, so chances of success should remain the same.

I see. So basically we're fixing the bug by paying the extra otherwise? As long as people go by it, it's a good system. Thanks for the info.

But how about probabilities? Doesn't the probe rating affect that too?

[GeoModder]

When mindcontrolling bases/units, the cost to do so is halved due to the bug, thus the offending party must spent the amount it needed to mindcontrol also in the same turn (overpaying a hurry cost or sth like that). Also, this indicates that a faction cannot mindcontrol Angel units (at +4 probe) if it doesn't has the double cash in stock the game asks to succesfully do so.

That was the most important I think, perhaps one of the mods can clarify more, or check the gamerules.

Refresh my memory please - what conditions?

[GeoModder]

Can't be done anymore, the .txt is incorporated in the game after it starts. Besides, this is discussed in June, and decided that other teams must fulfill certain conditions when they successfully probe the Angels.

Yeah, the Probe Rollover again.

A suggestion that I don't think was discussed: why not change the Angel's faction .txt file to give +1 SEProbe after they get PSA?
