Plague bomb..

[Ed Kolis]

The description does say "PREVENTS plagues in system", not "CURES plagues in system" though...

What is the unmoddable damage for each different level of plague?

Someone has the numbers, don't they?

[JLS]

Agreed Ed, this chould be changed in se4 and MODS, to read better on the Ability # Descr itself

Number of Abilities := 3
Ability 1 Type := Plague Prevention - System
Ability 1 Descr := Prevents level 1 plagues in this system.
Ability 1 Val 1 := 1
Ability 1 Val 2 := 0

Name := Medical Lab I
Description := Advanced medical center which cures the ill and helps prevent disease.

dont give the weapon range of 1 as it makes it pretty much obsolete, given the strength of WP's - when developed correctly. Cut the range in half maybe, but bio weaps should still be a viable weapon. I think.

How about
level one - range one
level two - range two
...

That will keep it in tune with WP weapons (sort of)

I ran a test on plagues to see how much damage they do. Here are my results of each level over 5 turns:

code:

---

Level: 1       2       3       4       5

       11      60      108     178     340

       11      60      100     179     321

       12      59      109     151     348

       10      52      111     154     321

       10      58      115     169     323

So, here are some proposed ranges that fit the data I have gathered:
Level 1: 10-15 pop/turn
Level 2: 50-60 pop/turn
Level 3: 100-120 pop/turn
Level 4: 150-180 pop/turn
Level 5: 320-350 pop/turn

=0=

I think there is a bug with range 1 weapons targeting planets that prevents them from hitting the planet from some (or all) sides... was it fixed in 1.84 or does it remain?
