Building Spaceship Components

[lorddread]

Zulu Nation

I don't think Ned needs to do anything as drastic as deleting the game. I could be a hicup with this particular game or it bug with 1.21 and the Zulu's. If it bothers you terribly, by all means delete everything and start over. If not, I would note the problem and just play another race.

A question to everyone here: Is it just me or do all the ships in the game take the longest way to get somewhere? I hate seeing ships hug a coast line or take wierd tangents when you want them to go somewhere. Is there anyway other than plotting them one movement at a time, to avoid this. It irks me to see a battleship or destroyer hugging the coast instead of simply crossing a large lake or small sea.

Who or how do I report this to as a bug?

I don't know if there is a more direct way, I thought there was info in the read.me how to do it(can't find it right now), but at least it's possible on this url: http://www.firaxis.com/contact_gamefeedback.cfm#

Although it seems sometimes strange, that way is just as short as going straight. Ships are not the only units who have this behaviour, if you have a vast, known jungle in which you want to patrol a warrior, it also takes a bit of puzzling until he wants to go straight, and not in weird tangents like you put it. The distance is the same, but for patrolling you sometimes want him to go a certain way.... not much you can do about it, plus no error on firaxis' side: there is always one case in which this happens(going South, North, West or East) with these square tiles.

It does seems that units like to pass through friendly territory, so with the same distance they'll 'look' for friendly waters. Maybe that is what you're seeing.

Okay, here is what is happening. You already have a Coal Plant in that city so building the Solar Plant will make the Coal Plant obsolete. The extra shields are from the city scrapping the Coal Plant, but that makes the game think that you are trying to rush build a small wonder (the spaceship parts). For the time being, you could go ahead and scrap the Coal Plant yourself before you rush build and that would allow you to start the next turn with a clean slate for building a spaceship part. Right now, we are not sure which route to take to remedy this situation, but Soren is definitely going to figure something out (probably for the next patch). Thanks for bringing this to my attention...you guys are the best

Good point, Panag. I wouldn't mind it if the program gave you this option automatically.

You can only have 1 power plant per city. So when you build a new one, the city has to scrap the old one. It's in the rules.

Well, it looks like no one here on Apolyton was familiar with this particular rule.
