Ships losing movement

from GalCiv2 Forums
    Hi!

I have just begun playing TotA and in the second mission I start out with an Arnorian Battlecruiser with respectable 9 MP. After the first riund this suddenly drops to 3 MP, the same with my Survey Vessel. What's happening?

Could it be from the Yor's influence?

Might be!

In my last game this didn't happen at first. I restarted the first game after this "feature" developped and I thought it might be a bug. The first three or four turns where no problem. Now it's happening from the second turn onwards. Where is this "influence bogs down movement" documented?

But thx!

In the DA manual (it's the Super Isolationist ability).

I now see that it is already included in the Dark Avatar Manual. Wow, chalk up some points for thorough reading ;)

Thx for your patience

It's even more of a bummer seeing your ships lose their movement points when there aren't any races in the game with the super-isolationist ability *sigh*

I guess the reason for this reply is to point out that there is a bug with ship movement that results in random loss of movement points (random in amount of points as well as random to which/how many ships as well as random to game turn and whether being atuo-piloted or hand-moved).

I don't know the cause, but when it does happen I can recreate it from saved games on different machines. Occurs in Dread Lords 1.5 and Dark Avatar 1.80g. Haven't tested ToTA yet.

Didn't see this reply...

I emailed a report with saved game, debug.err, and instructions on two separate occasions earlier this year, first to [email protected] (waited a little over a month, didn't get a response), then in early May CariElf suggested in IRC that I send it to [email protected] and got this auto-response:
