so everyone has all SE settings default to 0?

Comstr · July 10, 2002, 01:40

If I rembeber correcttly, everyone had them set to 0 Research, 100 Ecomany for some unknown reason. I changed mine a few turns ago.

smhfan86 · July 10, 2002, 01:56

And the other settings, like industry, probe, support, etc?

Comstr · July 10, 2002, 02:26

Ok, I'm confusghed, I thought you were talking about Ecomancy/Psych/Labs.

Archaic · July 10, 2002, 02:27

They're zero too? Oo;;;; Well, it would explain a few things.

Mind explaining this one t_ras?

smhfan86 · July 10, 2002, 02:40

interesting. how did the uofp fair? did they get a free node per base, and a free tech to start?

Archaic · July 10, 2002, 02:49

Actually, to be honest, I don't remember getting the tech at all. I'll have to check. I've got my nodes though.

smhfan86 · July 10, 2002, 03:01

that's interesting. i wonder what other attributes certain factions got or didn't get.

i was playing with the assumption that believers got the +2 support, then I looked at the SE settings, and was surprised to see everything at 0.

I just hope I still got my +25% attack, although I guess I won't find out till I'm at war.

t_ras · July 10, 2002, 03:32

it is ok, i tryed to make plained settings game, but it only seems like that. as i've checked with other people that we tryed that it only says that and leaves the settings as initial in the game (unless i pass you my prferences txt file, wich ididnt....).
sorry for the confution, what ever you've seen as initial settings (but the sliders)-doesnt ,metter!

Archaic · July 10, 2002, 06:21

To be blunt, quite frankly, at the moment I'm thinking of dropping out of this game and finding a new one that's being CMNed competently. Perhaps you could have informed us of all these things before we started playing, hmmm?

t_ras · July 10, 2002, 06:26

i would , but since what i tryed to do at the end didnt couse any changes in the game i though it wasn't relevant.

any way you'r all here to enjoy and if you dont you can leave,it would be no offence for me. it is just a game and i i sayed you should enjoy it....

smhfan86 · July 10, 2002, 10:58

You shouldn't drop out Archaic. I just wanted to know everything I could about the game before I started. Plus, if I can take over for 2 other people, I'm sure you can adjust too.

Question: So even though it says zero for my support, I really have +2 since I'm believers? note: I don't have any SE choices yet.

Comstr · July 10, 2002, 12:04

same as the UN has -1 effiecety.

Archaic · July 10, 2002, 12:54

I'm guess I'm going to have to agree with you. I still wish we'd been told though.

t_ras · July 10, 2002, 17:16

yes, even if it says 0 -it is not....

t_ras · July 10, 2002, 17:17

any other changes by SE selection should apeer there normaly

smhfan86 · July 11, 2002, 14:43

32 to comstr.

actually, if it says 0, it is 0. just tested it out. i went demo just to test it, hope no one minds.

it said -2 support, for believers it would normally be 0 at demo, because of their +2 support rating. at -2, u can only support one unit per base, and when i checked my base, it said i was supporting only one unit per base.

therefore, it would seem everyone starts out with 0 everything, i.e. growth, industry, etc.

that's okay with me, as it'll add a little twist to the game. just thought everyone should know that 0 really means 0, so we're all on a level playing field.

t_ras · July 11, 2002, 15:58

sorry but you can check at CGN we did the same (not checked by me but by the players who played the setted game them self) and got all the settings (even through it was 0...).

if you have some explenation about it ill be happy to here , i'm sorry to say i dont.....

smhfan86 · July 11, 2002, 16:07

oh well, all i know is that when i went demo i was at -2, and the effects were -2, as opposed to 0. so i assume that everything else that says 0, is 0.

t_ras · July 11, 2002, 16:33

ok, i checked your game, you all have ALL setings woking (as far as i could check) of course if youll choose some thing with -2 you'll see -2 but it is the original -2.

easy way to check it:

PK-check your inefitiency (i'v seen the -1)
gaia-check how much food you get from fongus (et lest 2).
Uni -has +2 at labs (as ive seen in bases...)+network every base.
belebers-sorry found no spetial think i could check...dont know them so well

others thinks take time to check, can been check only later in the game.

smhfan86 · July 11, 2002, 16:40

i'd expect the gaians to have +2 nutrients in fungus, as that's not part of the SE. I don't know how u can see the +2research at a base, as that's probably from the network nodes.

i believe that whatever is not part of the SE, is still in the game, but the stuff like +2 probe, and +2efficiencey, is not.

so the spartans should have their free prototypes, and lal, should have his double votes and talent, and uni has free nodes, and hive should have free perimeters, etc. and i should have +25% attack.

but like i said, i'm cool with that, just want to make sure everyone else knows.

it'll be an interesting game indeed.
