Roninscg vs Earthmichael

I have a question related to this map.

Is it possible to grow volcano itself on this map?

[Earthmichael]

It is possible to raise a mountain to 3500 feet, which ends up being volcano shaped, but it does not have any of the volcano attributes.  It is just tall land.  It is useful for solar collectors, though, which can gather more energy at higher elevations.

The only way I know to raise an actual volcano is either with a pod or a tectonic missile.  We have no pods on this map, and such missiles are banned as atrocities.

[roninscg]

In such a case we have a problem 

just check to make sure,

[Earthmichael]

Do you have a new volcano in your area?  Do you know how this happened?

Volcanos can be good things, because they are mineral rich, but not it they have destroyed a city or something equally nasty.

What happened in your case?

[roninscg]

so far as I have noticed itself was created, I have no idea how 
and I have no idea when it was created.

I thought a mistake dating from the beginning of the game, however, is not so,
I uploaded some earlier saves and check is it there, and is not there.

it's all good and is in a good place for me

There is a rare volcano random event - volcanoes happen more often from pod pops than otherwise, but they do happen...

[Earthmichael]

OK, then good luck for you!  Let's just play on.

I have some questions about the attack last turn.  Unfortunately, I get limited visibility into what happened.

First, I only got 13 messages cover attacks, but I supposedly won 5 attacks and lost 12 attacks, which would have be 17 total attacks.  So I appear to have missed 4 messages.

Second, the attacks had results that I cannot really understand based on the assumed combat values involved.  In particular, it appears that the first two messages I have (after the destroyed supply crawler) show my losing 2 6-1 interceptors to your 6-1 penetrators.  I would think with the 50% bonus from interceptors against air units, I would have very little chance of losing these two battles, even given that your units would have several morale upgrades.  Perhaps I just don't understand the odds computation on this.  Do you recall seeing the odds displayed for these attacks.

This is even odder since during my counterattack, my interceptors never failed to kill the target aircraft.  So I would think if morale was balancing the odds, I would have seen that, but I did not.

Finally, I thought I had a lot more interceptors in the target city.  Based on the message, it seems I only had 5 interceptors in the city, but I though I had a lot more than that.  That could be partially explained by the fact I only saw 13 message for 17 attacks.  It could be the other message were more interceptors getting clobbered.

Anyway, I am planning to continue anyway, but I would like to see if there is some way to get some visibility as to what happened.  I will be interesting to see how my counterattack is messaged to you.  You may have some similar questions.

Roninscg, could you post the numbe rof massages form your side?

[Earthmichael]

Just for completeness, on my counterattack, I believe I had 14 attacks, and all of them were won.  No losses on my part.

[roninscg]

This evening I'll take a picture of messages and will send here,
I can not early,

[roninscg]

I lost exactly sixteen units after your turn, EM Yang- 11 and 5 Uni

As for messages, nothing unusual, I got the information only intended for my faction.

in my attack as I recall, I did not lose a single unit with Yang, If you want I can upload again and see?

I think it has to do who is attacking and who is defending ( for example <6>,1,16  ), when you attacking you have a 50% benefit for interceptor (<6>+50%) , but when you defend  second number is crucial (1+50%). maybe it needs to be like that,maybe not, I have no idea 

p.s As for pictures I gave up on them

I beleave this is how it works. I meant many times that whiel attacking I could take on better armed units (I had units with much higher moral).
