Re: Spaceship launch

Never mind. It used to be in the lower right, as I recall. I just noticed it in the upper left. My apologies.

Re: Spaceship launch

I found a suggestion for the optimal strategy for launching a space ship to Alpha Centauri many years ago. I've used it ever since, and it's never failed. The "Chance of Success" means the odds that you'll get to AC before anyone else. if nobody else is even trying to get there, your odds...

Re: Useless bombers?

Never mind (I think)... I did a search within the units ruleset for Stealth Bomber, and the first result was actually the regular Bomber, where it says obsolete_by = "Stealth Bomber" I just noticed my mistake and removed the flag from Stealth Bomber as well. I imagine it will work as expec...

Re: Useless bombers?

I removed that flag from the stealth bomber, specifically, with no effect. Do I also have to remove "Bombarder" from the list of flags higher up in this file? flags = { "name", "helptxt" _("Fortress"), _("Can build Forts and Fortresses.") _("Tra...

Re: Useless bombers?

Is there any change I can make in the game ruleset to get stealth bomber to behave more like what I expect? Right now this is the only military troop that cannot kill a diplomat in one shot. This should be close to, if not the highest damage-generating in the game, but right now it is easily the wea...

Re: Useless bombers?

It doesn't strike you as odd that green warriors (or pretty much any other troop) can kill a stack of settlers (or diplomats, spies, etc.), but stealth bomber cannot?

Re: Useless bombers?

I'm going to assume that this is indeed a bug. I have in the past, with the right conditions and a little bit of luck, had green warriors take out an entire stack of settlers. That's the very first troop you have in beginning of the game. Meanwhile, I just attacked a stack of two settlers with a vet...

I'm attaching before and after attack screenshots here. Thank you. If there is a fix, I would jump all over that.

Re: Useless bombers?

Maybe there's something I'm not understanding, but stealth bomber now seems almost completely useless. What's the point of having a base attack strength of 9, if - at least as far as I can tell - you are doing 1-2 points of damage to one of the enemy units, and zero damage to the rest? This unit has...
