Default Re: Are homeplanets affected by high/catastrophic events?

With all middling, what would you expect the game turns to average?

PTF, did you see AI HW rebellions ? I mean other two races, not your Eee.

How did you add races, via .emp files or as a random choice ? It may make difference, however unlikely.

Oleg, when you added the races, was it Random?

Other then the CueCappa (lucky) and the Norak(REL). I beleave PTF removed them from the Race Folder prior to the test.

Other then this I do not see how the Race Data files could affect the Event result.

Default Re: Are homeplanets affected by high/catastrophic events?

I was wondering, I noticed that the events tested are set at 90%. About one every 9+ turns.

If it were set to 1000% would this make it more frequent, closer perhaps to one event every turn?

90% should be an event on 90% of turns... unless this is another one of those variables that is in tenths...

With no expansion, the data may not be as relevant, as it applies to a game situation.

There will be few to no Colonies to disperse the events.
