turn played last night and sent.

another bug to report.

with one of my factions, it only costs 24 ecs to switch SE choices, but the other it costs 40 ecs.

what about you guys?

[FlameFlash]

is that really a bug? I thought changing at different times caused different prices...

turn received... will play shortly.

[smhfan86]

it's a bug.

one switch will cost either, 24, 32, or 40 ecs, depending on the difficulty level.

switching more than one thing in one turn, costs even more.

[FlameFlash]

*shrugs* If it's a bug for all three of us then I'd say not worry about it... we've restarted so much already... unless it'll be a real big deal later game.

If it is the same for all than lets stay with it. If not, I dont care if we keep playing or restart.

[FlameFlash]

I'll try to remember to check next time it comes to me.

[smhfan86]

that's the thing, we don't know if it's the same for all three of us. if someone's only paying 24 ecs per SE switch for both factions, while the others are paying 40 ecs for one or both, then that's a pretty big advantage. that's why i asked what you two had.

also, chances are, it would also affect the research rate, i.e. those paying 40 ecs would have a much slower research rate than those paying only 24 ecs.

if we all have it the same, i.e. one faction at 24 ecs, and the other at 40, then i have no problem with continuing.

[shadowlord3]

I forgot to check but didnt think I had any techs that would switch my social. I will check next turn.

just double-checked, and yes, it's still 24 ecs for one faction, and 40 ecs, for the other, and i was right about the tech research cost as well. the the faction that costs 40 ecs for an SE switch, has a much higher tech research cost in the F2 screen, and remember, both my factions have +2research.

[FlameFlash]

ugh... that explains my research then too... though we can easily work down the research, I would think, just with some more energy, etc.

Though probably not that much...

Was tech stag turned on?

[smhfan86]

i don't think tech stag is on.

normally, i play transcend, so the faction that's not, is researching faster than normal for me.

however, i'd still like to know how it costs for each of you to make 1 SE switch, on both factions.

[FlameFlash]

turn sent...

I'll try and remember to take a look at SE switches the next time I get the turn. Could you try to also remind me when you send me the turn?

I checked and do not have any SE switches available to check the credit rate. However my tech rates are a little different. 1 faction needs 30 and the other needs 33 for tech cost. It should be the same because both have the same number techs and bonuses for research. I say lets just play as is. This is not a tournament, I'm playing for fun and don’t care if someone has an advantage.
