Ground Troop Bonuses not working?

#1 Post by Hihoo »

I've noticed for quite some time now - and ignored it - that e.g. a planet having a "natural" 8 groundtroops and a visualized bonus of additional 16 - showing an "ultimate" 24 I can regularly successfully invade using just 8 groundtroop-pods

Up to now I took the higher number seriously. But you can reliably ignore their bonus as imaginary.

Please at the very least show screenshots before and after for something as significant as this. Also, if at all possible, please zip and attach a saved game just prior to the point where the invasion is done (or post a link to it at a hosting site).

Enter a url where it's already been uploaded.

Alternatively, attach it to the post as you did with the zip.

first you attach it here like any other file, then below the big white message edit box will be a small control to place the last uploaded file 'inline'

Mate, you invaded the wrong world. You had 8 basic troop ships, giving you invasion strength of 16. ABC.sav has them in orbit around Soma, a Cynos world with just Good troops, givign them strength 12, ABD.sav has one left in orbit, which is correct.

Reloading abc, moving them to Nakshatras and trying to invade the Rraargh homeworld sees them fail to take the place but the Raargh lose the correct amount of troops.

I tried to replicate this independently, found an Ugmors world fairly close, failed to invade with 5 troop ships but the follow up group of three succesfully took it as expected.

Cannot replicate, sorry, not with that save nor my own test.

Sorry, thanks for your time. I simply thought 1 Pod = 1 Troop where it had 2.
Rightly guessed a question mark was in order
