Possible bug
« on: July 03, 2009, 10:09:53 PM »
Hi! New here on the forums, tried searching around. Didn't find anything resembling my problem according to the keywords I thought might be used so here it is. New thread.

I recently played a game, think it was on level four and... well... how to I explain this?

First of all, me, the player can't fly from an asteroid I havn't "conquered" with that I mean planting a Tree. So... I can't fly from a neutral asteroid to another neutral asteroid, nor an enemy asteroid. I can however fly back to one of my own. Hope you understand, I find it quite complex to explain.

However, as I said, during the game the AI went from it's own asteroid, started attacking one of my own. It didn't conquer it, and it used it as a platform to dwelve deeper into my territory. I'd like the computer and myself to have the same game rules applied, especially since there is no difficulty setting. Had it been on... let's say hard then I can appreciate the computer getting handicaps. But as said, no difficulty settings so therefore I'd like this to be fixed IF it is a bug and not intentional.

Bye! Thanks for reading

Hi.
You've explained that very clear.

It isn't a bug, it's a limitation.
It would be nice if that was fixed, though.

We decided to limit expansion so that seedlings could fly only to and from their own atmospheres. In this way the spread of a seedling type is a little more organic and not totally random like before.

Yes, but AI seedlings do not fall under this limitation, they fly everywhere.

Right, yes. The AI will be subject to the same limitations as the player yes.
