Overproduction bug?!

[FatBaron]

Perhaps it is just me, but sometimes the AI seems not to play fair.

The game is quite easy most of the time as long as you survive the to conquer a few asteroids.

But sometimes quite late in the game, holding 5-10 asteroids one factions goes into some kind of building maniac. Just churning out seedlings. 3-4 every 5 seconds or so.

In a few minutes you face swarms of 200-500 seedlings. There is NO way to counter this.

Has anybody experienced this behaviour, too?

actually, this isn't really a bug, well maybe it is but, you can keep the production of seedlings by moving seedlings to other asteroids constantly to build up a mass. The asteroid with over the limit population count do not produce more seedlings but, it can hold more seedlings from other asteroids without a limit as far as I can see. It is easy to mass a giant group of seedlings up to 300-500. I do it all the time and win fast.

[FatBaron]

Yeah sure. Me too. But this is a completely different phenomenon.

The enemy produces seedlings every few seconds resulting in long streams of seedlings.

Is it reproducible?

[aven]

Wow, that is weird. BTW, there are times when you start the game and you start to scout right away and you'll get rushed and killed in the beginning right away. Sometimes just rushed out of nowhere.

edit*: Actually, are you playing a custom script? why not upload that script so we can try and reproduce it. =D

[FatBaron]

It is not reproducible in the way that I do "that" and then it happens. But it happens from time to time.

Next time I measure to "production rate". :-)

The rushing during the beginning of the game is quite normal though annoying, I think. Just try not to empty your asteroids of seedlings because this invites an attack.

Sounds like the level where you are under a time limit to finish the level. Sorry it's not very well signalled. You just have to finish the level before the time limit runs out and that insano production starts.

[FatBaron]

Ahhhh. That explains it. :-)

Would be nice to have that insano production too.
