256 unit bug
« on: July 25, 2016, 04:31:21 PM »
I know this bug has already been discussed, but I wanted to bring it up again to see if anything could be done about it.

In a recent game, I built a large army of infantry of the same type.  Upon building the 256th unit of that type, my Military score crashed to near-0 on the Faction Superiority list and graph; as I continued to build more units of that type the list recovered but the graph did not.
The display issues wouldn't be a huge problem, but the other problem is all other factions decided to attack me when my Military score crashed, because they thought I no longer had military superiority.  So the bug had the effect of causing poor AI decisions.

This was in SMAX with scient's patch.  Perhaps it's already been fixed in Yitzi's?

Richard Baxton piloted his Recon Rover into a fungal vortex and held off four waves of mind worms, saving an entire colony. We immediately purchased his identity manifests and repackaged him into the Recon Rover Rick character with a multi-tiered media campaign: televids, touchbooks, holos, psi-tours? the works. People need heroes. They don't need to know how he died clawing his eyes out, screaming for mercy. The real story would just hurt sales, and dampen the spirits of our customers.
