    How exactly do bureacracy drones work?

    I find the whole bureaucracy drone thing a bit confusing.
    I go about my games on standard sized maps, and I plant 6 bases. The 7th triggers the bureaucracy warning.

    Can someone tell me the exact workings of the bureaucracy warnings, like how many drones appear, at what base numbers and in what size bases. It's probably a simple rule, but I just don't get it! Thanks!

    B-drones have been worked out in great detail. Do a search!

    The simple formula is:
    b-drone limit = sqrt(map_width * map_height / 3200) * (4 + effic) * 3 / 2

    3 is derived from (8 - diff) on transcend
    effic is bounded below at 0

    At 1*limit, you have no b-drones
    At 2*limit, you have 1 b-drone/city
    At 3*limit, you have 2 b-drones/city, and so on

    You can never have more b-drones in a city than its size. As a consequence, Lal will never have riots at a size 1 base due to b-drones alone. [/CT]

      Yep very simple rule ....
      Learn to overcome the crass demands of flesh and bone, for they warp the matrix through which we perceive the world. Extend your awareness outward, beyond the self of body, to embrace the self of group and the self of humanity. The goals of the group and the greater race are transcendant, and to embrace them is to acheive enlightenment.

        I wasn't communicating very well here...

        I have known about the BW limit formula for a while, but what I did not understand was the DISTRIBUTION of the drones that appeared.

        Your post cleared that up a little. This post did the rest(scroll down a little):

        You're right, searching does help
