Default Re: Proportions fix list

Well, I just ran two tests, one in SE4 v1.78, and one in v1.84, and both came out the same, running the simulator, anyway.

It works, but only if the Capture Planet strategy has "Ships Break Formation" set to NO.

I only see this problem with two Proportions AI's: Cryslonite and UkraTal.

The other Proportions AI's should either do the invasion trick, or just be genocidal maniacs, without the problem you describe, at least, according to my simulator tests, and experience playing SE4 v1.78 and earlier.

So, which AI were you seeing the problem with?

I also noticed that the Drushocka don't have a unique strategy file - they're using the default AI strategy (which is ok).

But that is not good ! Since ALL fleets use "capture ship planet" it will make such AI hopeless in combat, with ships make ritual dance instead of bLasting enemy. IMHO, "ships break formation true" is a must.

I am pretty sure I posted all my latest AI with strategy files. Hmm, I might make mistake. Anyway, before updating your site, please contact me and I'll mail what I have on my computer.

P.S. I noticed this problem with Piundon and Terran.
