hit End Turn and suffer |
Is your end of turn credit count, when the event is determined? Or do they give you more income, then roll RNG for the event? If I have to not reach 1000 credits by next turn, well that's a serious PITA.
This is actually the 1st time I've seen an Energy Market Crash in a very, very long time. I often have 997, 998, 999, or 1000 credits because I do partial payments to Secret Projects in multiples of 4. That way it converts to at least 1 mineral. Maybe all those 997s, 998s, and 999s kept me from getting dinged at 1000 ?
Or maybe the odds have just been ever in my favor. Do the odds go way down if you're close to 1000 ?

If there isn't some advantage in it, I wouldn't understand keeping 1000 credits in the first place.
Saving up for a facility that costs more then a 1000 energy?

A few games back, I remember running into that RE, and thinking to myself, "HAH! YA MISSED! Enjoy your THREE BLOODY CREDITS!"
...or something like that. ;lol Is sorta like, if iRL, the economy tanks out, the markets crash and US money is suddenly worthless, I'm out maybe $20 or so. :P

Or wanting to avoid opponents subverting your bases/units; the cost to subvert goes up with the credit balance of the victim (proportional to 800+balance for units, or 1200+balance for bases). This in turn makes it harder for opponents to win economic victory, since that's based on the cost of mind-controlling every opposing base.If there isn't some advantage in it, I wouldn't understand keeping 1000 credits in the first place.

The power surge one is effected by having energy banks. Your mines give you energy instead of exploding.
The market boom/crash one isn't effected by having energy banks, but seems to differ depending on both the amount of energy, and what place you're in (the wiki doesn't say whether it's overall or place for the amount of energy). The way it's worded suggests you will always lose credits if you're over 1k, but if you're between 500 and 1k AND in 4th place or lower your reserves are doubled.

Could be rounding or something. Share save.

Just noticed: your after-crash balance is 251, which implies you were indeed over 1,000 credits when the event was triggered.
