Bug: Abilities???

November 25, 2006 9:34:56 PM from GalCiv II ForumsGalCiv II Forums
It does not seem possible to alter the abilities already chosen any longer. When I press reset, nothing happens.

This is rather annoying and I hope it is possible for this to be recified quickly? Btw, has the # of ability-points increased from 10 to 15?

It's on purpose temporarily till balancing is done. It's in a thread around here somewhere. The ability points should be 5 now, same reason.

edit:NM if your talking GCII, just saw the bug report thing as the forum.

I am talking about the GC II - DA. But the balancing they've done by limiting the abiliy point to 5 seems to have backfired, as your previous ability points have been frozen, so that you now in addition to the original 10 ability points, you also get another 5 points.

However, I was not aware of this, and managed to cancel out my ability points, so instead of my chosen 10 ability point (50% social prod/50% military prod + 10% pop. growth), I get the default + 5 more, which to be honest makes the game a little less fun to play.

hmm... I thought the ab points were locked in the latest beta. How did you get them to reset?

To be honest, I am not sure. I tried several things, as I thought they had upped the number of ability points, and I then wanted to phase them out on 70% Social Prod, 70% Military Prod and 70% Pop. Growth. But, then I think I pressed Clear.

I did reinstall the game, thinking it was something that would be rectified by that, but I don't think that changed it.

Abilities are in the process of being rebalanced--the free points will likely go back up later in the beta. AFAIK the current idea is that all of the core races' "natural" abilities will be fixed, plus X amount of points to spend. Custom Races will have no fixed natural abilities, but more points to spend instead.

That would be great. I just wonder if customs will have access to the same inherent abilities as the preset races, like Miniturization or logistics. With a limit of course, as some of those could be quite powerful.
