Bug: Negative avarage monthly income

December 4, 2006 3:11 PM from

I just finished my first Dark Avatar game, and when I look at the end of game statistic screens, I noticed I have an Avarage Monthly Income of -14311 bc / month (see screenshot) which is a bug I think. Because I had the luck to find 3 economic resources very close to my homeplanet and stole a few others I don't think I ever had a negative income except maybe for a few turns in the very beginning of the game. As a matter of fact, I had an income of more then 20000 bc each week in the last couple of turns.

I've also reported this strange result to Stardock by email...

This isn't unique to DA, I've seen this on v1.2 and v1.31. Haven't yet played v1.4. AFAIK the average monthly income is for information purposes only. The actual economy score is based on the "area under the curve" of the economy graph, click on the timeline button to see it.

Also just for information sake, with an income of over 20K it's easy to keep more than 20K in your treasury. I'm not sure if this has been changed in DA, but in previous DL revs you lose a percentage of your income if your treasuryy is over 20K. The higher your income the greater the percentage. You should spend your money below 20K each turn to avoid this "graft". You can tell the difference by looking at your domestic policy screen with your treasury both above and below the 20K limit.
