2119 to Detrius

Turn 2119 to Bearhugger. The airbase unit graphic has appeared in the game. is there any way to fix it? How come I never see it in single player games?

[PJayTycy]

strange, weird, ...

maybe senethro should check this.

[Senethro]

/me smashes head against wall.

I don't like this and I'll freely admit to being without a clue as to causation or solution.

Send a save to the usual address, senethro at gmail dotdot com.

I'll be investigating both the Morgan industry problem and this airbase...

[DetriusXii]

Well, from what a poster stated about the airbase graphic at CGN

"
It arrived when Buster was fiddling with alphax.txt. The unit count entered after line #UNITS must have been wrong. That's why it's always a good idea to enter your new units after all the predefined. Otherwise these strange units appear.
"

[Senethro]

Hmmmm. My best guess is that I've failed to be clean with my editing of alphax.txt. Though I checked now and its fine, I can't guarentee it was at the creation of this game. I also don't remember which computer it was I created this game on, which just further complicates things.

20 to maia (yay were no teenies anymore )

i will conduct diplomacy via emails, coz ingame it takes several turns to come to an agreement. turns we dont have, do we?

btw, senethro, will you be able to fix the problems (morganities industry and the new airunit something?)

[Senethro]

Still waiting on someone to send a turn. No promises mind. I'll likely be asking Darsnan about this one.

turn 2120 to PJay

dfjh

[PJayTycy]

I'd mail it to you Senethro, but I don't find your email adress, so I'll probably just upload it here when I've played it (in about 10 minutes)

[PJayTycy]

mailed to detrius

uploaded here for senethro

turn 2120 to bearhugger

[Bearhugger]

21 to maia.

i reloaded twice. first time forest expanded, i clicked "show and delete" it crashed the program. second time i popped a pod, it said infested with lifeforms, two of them, also minerals. now, one was a mindworm. the other ive never seen before. looked like a flying fortress. had 3-1 (attack defense). i wanted to attack it first, combat odds were like 38-178. well, now guess why i reloaded? this time pod had earhquake.
senethro, i think i can remember how the unit pic looked like, if its of any help.
erm, and ive also never seen a unit (one of maias scout in this case) that has 1-1-1#. can you tell me what kind of enhancement this is?

well, thats it for now, turn played, grml.

[Senethro]

1-1-1# is designated defender. That unit will be chosen first to defend its tile. Good for making people wade through cheap units by spamming scouts into a vulnerable base.

The broken alien life form is indeed my fault and I don't believe theres anything to be done about it.

Pjays bonus industry is misleading. You all have bonus industry because you are playing on a small map. One feature of this that I hadn't noticed before was that Maia doesn't get extra industry when using Planned on top of this. I'm guessing that if the rest of you were to use Planned or Wealth on their own then you wouldn't receive the industry bonus either. If you used both then I would expect you to receive the normal +2 industry bonus. (8mins per row).

Ah, I'm the only honest one here !

I noticed it when founding a new base and receiving 1 row + 1 mineral from the start. Except for that, I probably wouldn't have noticed it either..

It's good to know though that wealth/planned on their own won't add an industry bonus.


I don't know about the flying aliens... I'm not in favour of allowing a reload everytime you pop one. I'd rather have it we all consider pods more dangerous now and remember to only send a very cheap or a sufficiently armed unit to pop the pods.

Senethro, can these units be captured / built by players ? Can they appear out of nowhere ? Do they use psych-combat or regular combat ? (just to know how to protect my precious free markets
