Sorting It Out

[Fosse]

I somehow got the wrong turn to Senethro... I've resent. It's going to have a zillion reload messages from me because I was trying to convince Senethro that I did send him the right turn all along.

Anyway, it should be better now.

[Senethro]

8 reloads in fact.

I imagine I have something in the order of 6 due to recieving and opening turns in which Hercules had not yet eliminated himself.

Onto arcainite.

Houston, we may have a problem.

Through an unknown mechanism 3 techs have suddenly come into my possession. This may or may not be related to elimination of the Gaians. I'll be discussing it in more depth with BinT.

[Senethro]

After discussion with BinTravkin it appears that this one is a new one on him.
There doesn't look like a way around it so we'll just have to play on. There may be those among you who want to cry foul but I assure you that the techs I've received are off-beeline and have slowed down my acquiring of the target by ~10 turns.

Because it is new and I've not observed it before, I cannot say with surety whats caused this bug. I can however inform you that in Civ2 the player with the Great Library would get a "tech check" when a player was eliminated. The GL player would receive techs even from players not yet encountered. I'm guessing the same thing has happened with me because I'm playing the Angels and techshare resembles the GL. The "tech check" in this case has ignored both the infiltration and comms requirements.

In corroboration with this hypothesis I have 2 versions of turn 2116; one with the Gaians and one without. Only the one with the elimination has the extra techs.

Game on. Sending turn as soon as I'm at my SMAX computer.

Why not post a more general enquiry on the boards? Perhaps it has been noted before.

[Senethro]

Do you know anyone who plays the angels? :/

[binTravkin]

There are quite a bunch of people who have played them and some are fans of them (IIRC Kirov and TonyLinux were two).

Also ACDG 3 has just had one faction eliminated, so asking Angel Team members could prove useful.
