Possible Bug: Colonies Not Converting

from GalCiv2 Forums
In my current game (v.1.1) as an evil race with the mind control center, no colonies are culturally converting, even though they should be as they were skull'ed for a while. In a different game, also with mind control center, it required FOUR +332 Culture Starbases to get a PQ 5 planet to join me. I would apppreciate it if you could investigate.

Apparently it's confirmed that the MCC's text is *NOT* correct. What it *really* provides, is a 100% Econ boost, like it shows on the display.

if the planets are controlled by a good or neutral race they are very unlikely to convert to you. depends on your evilness and their goodness. i think.

When will this be fixed?

That's noting. I won a cultural victory (on a gigantic map) where each race had a pq5 (Arcean's had a pq13) planet that refused to flip even though I had 3-4 maxed out ISB's surrounding them. In some cases the planets had been in revolt for 2 years and never flipped.

The difference is I don't see these incidences as bugs. I rather enjoyed the fact that the last existing planet from each race refused to give up their identity and be absorbed into another race.

100% economy boost is BRILLIANT. Sod rebel planets, I want cash!

I believe the re-education center (a super-project, so one per race) will prevent a planet from culturally flipping, so that may be the effect you're seeing there.

As for the original poster, it works, though it's probability-based, so you can't tell how long it will take. I've been in games where I was flipping 3-5 planets a turn, but the planet that was the worst off (had an other's influence ratio of 116+) held out for a very long time.
