Stuff built during a missed turn

Dethgod74 · #1 February 27th, 2007, 04:04 AM

HI folks,

Is there a way to turn off the program that builds things for players during missed turns? I find it really aggrevating that besides being ticked at missing a turn, I have to clean up all of cr@p the AI built for me during the turn I missed.

This is NOT ministers at work, they are all turned off. It's something else. Does anyone know what it is???

Regards,

Are you referring to SE IV? If so yes you can. Just open the CROWN icon, select ministers, then at the bottom of the page there is an option to prevent the AI Minster from making changes to the game if you miss a turn.

For SE V, I am not sure.

From the 1.27 beta change log:

23. Fixed - "Maintain Defensive Locations" was not being used.
24. Changed - Changed minister option text from "Maintain Defensive Locations" to "AI controls empire in player absence". Turn this option off if you do NOT want the AI to control your empire if a turn is processed without your order file. The default value for this is TRUE.

Thus, as of 1.25, no, you can't tell the AI not to do anything when you miss a turn. But when the next patch comes out, you will be able to.

Hello,

My bad folks, it was VERY early this morning when I typed my messages. Both posts last night were regarding SE 4.

BTW, I did check by clicking on the Ministers icon and turned off all Minister stuff on the first turn of the game. Is there another Minister switch somewhere else, similar to the one I. Fyron and Atrocities have mentioned?

Thanks again folks!

Empire Status(F11)->Ministers, way down at the very bottom of the list is "AI should not make changes to the empire during a Simultaneous Game". Turn this option on.

You should consider making SE4 related posts in the SE4 forum, to avoid confusion...

I-Fyron,,

Which one is the SE 4 ONLY forum... IIRC, this one is marked 4 and 5. Thanks for the help!

BTW, do you monitor the SE 4 only forum as well?

Thanks again for your time!

The SE:IV is technically here:
http://www.shrapnelcommunity.com/thr...Board=seivonly

I'm sure most of the posters check all the SE forums here when there are new messages.

The SE 4 forum isn't as well monitored for new posts as this one. However it is generally looked at many times during the day.

And Fyron is overly pedantic at times.
