    Now that is quite a bug.
    I'm building a wagon! On some other part of the internets, obviously (but not that other site).

      And it most probably effects the AI too. Strategy against the Datajacks: Gift them Pre-Sentient Algorithms become declaring war.

        Not meaning to nitpick... just want to clarify you meant 'before' not 'become'?

          Duh ignore my previous posting, I now get it.

          Is there a way to correct this bug?

            Curiously, has anyone checked to see the effects of Miriam running Fundy with Covert-Ops center, a grand total of a +5 Probe. Or Roze running Fundy with Covert-Ops center, +6 Probe.
            I assume those will all roll back to 0 as well?

              Roze wouln't run fundy, her ideology is Democratic. And i'm not sure the AI would build covert ops centres...the thing is, Roze gets them for free.

              One way you _could_ correct the problem is to change the angels to +1 probe instead of +2

                Roze wont do Power SE, I don't believe anything stops her from doing fundy though.
                And I am not specifically speaking about the AI, I was just curious about the effects.

                  No, no no...not that Roze won't do power, she_can't_. And yes, something _does_ stop her from running fundy - ideology. Just like while Zakh _can_ for example run wealth, he _won't_ due to ideology, even though his aversion is fundy.

                  but as for non-AI. dunno. not very many people play the believers. I know that I havn't, so I wouldn't know.

                    Why would Zakharov not run Wealth? I know his agenda is Knowledge, but I don't see anything that would prevent him running Wealth neccessarily (maybe it represents corporate-style ethics in universities, I know that some of the universities I have been too seem to be increasingly "wealth-oriented").

                    I enjoy running "unusual" SE choices (see my PS/Green/Knowledge/Cybernetic Human Hive for a different result from Yang's 'grand experiments' ) it makes the game a little more interesting to consider how the factions might develop from their starting points, I don't see them as always becoming carbon-copies of the stereotype.

                      Yes, I understand the AI Roze wont use Fundy or PS. That is why I mentioned:
