Balance mod 1.11 bug

Sardia · #1 December 1st, 2007, 12:38 AM

Some of the computer(neutral, maybe) a.i.s build fighters and troops with no weapons. This is really annoying due to the local militia constantly respawning them on home planets and the 3 minute time limit, and the larger ground map. The troops just constantly run away and no matter how many I kill, the local militia simply respawn to run away again. This is a worse quagmire then Iraq, and it costs almost as much. I just gave up and glassed the planet.

What is the name of the empire? Is it a custom ship set?

Cue kappa Commonwealth, it's part of the original AI, I believe. I'm not using any mods other than the balance mod and the silence mod.(The one that disables the annoying sounds)

Ok. That bug has been fixed for the next update.

Care to give an ETA?

I managed to get around it by landing troops and then just bombarding the planet until they surrendered. I'm sure my troops didn't appreciate it, but I got a sense of closure out of it.

A better temporary fix would be to increase the ground combat time and to decrease the ground combat map size (both in the settings.txt).
