Mine Sweep Order

[Loser]

If you are already in a sector, like blockading a planet, and something introduces mines into that sector, you could then use that button to sweep those mines.

Of course, since you can only play agaisnt the AI, as it is a simultaineus game, and the AI does not launch mines from a planet, then this is not really an issue.

At least, that's the way I think it works.

Simultaneous games are mostly for MP. It is sequential games that are nearly always (not in hotseat) for AI only.

Hmmm....

I tested it out on a simultaneous game.

Had a treaty which was broken etc, but basically I had player A lay mines on Player B's Homeworld.

I then had Player B build a minesweeper. And try to sweep the mines of the Homeworld on which it was built.

No change in the number of mines after a turn or two.

Must be doing something wrong.

EDIT: Also, the minesweep order is not shown in the "View Orders"

Well I have never tested it, but what I said is how it should work. If it doesn't, you may have found a bug. Send the savegame to MM.

"Simultaneous games are mostly for MP. It is sequential games that are nearly always (not in hotseat) for AI only."

I for one prefer simultanious even in SP. The AI seems to have more of a chance that way.

[Fyron]

Well yes, but sequential is the default for SP games, simultaneous is the default (only way for most forms) for MP games.

i always play simultanious in singleplayer. it's more fair to the computer, i think. and the computers to easy already.
