Pop Bonus Problem

Hota · #1 February 7th, 2001, 04:31 PM

I'm playing with the attached SETTINGS.TXT file with modified pop bonus info. It works fine till the pop hits 40B, and then it shows NO pop modifier. The file looks fine to me, anybody have any ideas?

Well, that's where you'd get kicked up into modifier 21's bonus. Maybe it doesn't allow more than 20 modifiers? Shouldn't be that hard to test.

I copied and pasted it from a post on this board so I'm assuming that it worked past 20 for them. Anybody know for sure?

I just finished testing this. You can only have 19 population modifiers. If you have more the computer just ignores them. Sounds like a bug to me...

Well, that's a pain. I'm probably the culprit here - I posted before I'd gotten a population over 40B. A couple of us had been playing with the file, found a couple other strange things with the population breaks, and discussed with MM. But I don't recall seeing anything about a maximum number of those modifiers. Oh well... guess I'll have to remove a couple & keep it to 20. Unless we can convince MM to increase the max &/or incorporate the modified settings...

I changed mine to only go up to 20 and it works fine now.
