Re: "max . event severity" - does it work ??
 

Longterm observations about 1.5 (realtime) years ago:

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Has it changed or was it a setup with more than one homeplanet distributed over several systems?

Re: "max . event severity" - does it work ??
 

Umm... I have seen HWs be blown up by both planet and star destroying events, in both Gold and pre-Gold.

Re: "max . event severity" - does it work ??
 

Yeah. Home system and HWs can be targeted by star desroyed/planet destroyed events EXACTLY like any other colony.

This is a huge problem in Proportions/AIC mods, where "low" events have been incerted below "catastrophic" events. Basically, it makes star blowup as common as "ship lost supplies". http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif

I edited events.txt files to rectify this problem but can not upload them now http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Check out the note at the top of the New Scenerio/Mod Forum (not a post, part of the board) - You can't upload in quite the way you are used to, but you should be able to upload.

Re: "max . event severity" - does it work ??
 

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">I don't. With multiple HW starts yes, but there was always one planet (master) never affected by high/catastrophic events. I checked this with a modded event.txt, just the 4 severities with a text popup for the severity which has taken place. Some thousand turns later, almost everything but the master HP has blown up.

Re: "max . event severity" - does it work ??
 

Ok... I have seen HWs blow up when it was a one planet start...

Re: "max . event severity" - does it work ??
 

I had the same incident (catastrophic event in a max. high game) a little while ago, but mine dealt with the "planet destroyed w/o warning" event. I am using the expanded Dracus' expanded Events.txt file. I had just figured the it was a momentary glitch and not a bug...

I am going to reorder the events in the file (low -> catastrophic) and I'll post if it happens again, but hopefully not...that was my homeworld... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif
