No problems at all Thanks.

Blast those worms.

[Flubber]

I'll play in a few hours-- Are the worms hitting at your university again Jamski-- Despite their worm problems and a population of 1, the university still led the overall powergraphs last turn

[Jamski]

The colony pod intended to raise that pop to two had to run back to University base because of a worm threat, and then reemerge. Blast them.

I've dredged up (rather belatedly) why I instinctively steered towards Librarian

When a scenario is set up, we check the flag "Force Difficulty Level" which ensures that all players are at the same level (otherwise the game simply puts the start player at that level, everyone else defaulting to librarian)

With me so far?

Now when a faction gets eliminated by the CMN in the Scenario Editor, the flag gets disabled (although it's still checked when you look at it), so the workaround is to set the diff at librarian in games with fewer than seven factions. That way all play at the same level, the starting one at Librarian, then the balance at the default, also librarian.

But in this game, with the diff being set to transcend, only Chaunk's Gaians will be at that level, all 5 others will be at Librarian.

(If any of you can make SE changes now - try and do so and look at the cost. It should be 40 ec's if the flag were valid, 24 at librarian)

My morganites are absolutely at transcend. I am at FM with a cost of 40 PLUS when a base grew to size 2, the second citizen (pre b drones) was a drone that I had to doctor away.

I will check my spartans drone situation next turn by walking a police unit away from the base to confirm its at transcend as well.

But is gthere any reason for these two to differ??

[Googlie]

No - shouldn't. Per the old thread the G's should have been Transcend and everyone else at Librarian. maybe that got fixed but undocumented in a later patch

(or maybe the problem is correctable by a second checking of the flag after eliminating the faction and my "belt and suspenders" approach to CMN'ing where I check everything three times resulted in my checking the flag afterwards)

If indeed it's OK for everone, then it's good news

[Chaunk]

Yep, Transcend here, certainly tech cost wise anyway... Although I wouldn't mind if the believers were on librarian...

2118 to Jamski.

[Jamski]

2118-->Flubber

Seems to be Transcend costs here. Hive needs 40ecs for Police State change.

Yep, the Uni also need 40ecs to change SE to Planned.

My yahoo mail is not working-- if you see this, please attach the turn in this thread and I will pass it on
