| Summary | 0025103: ZA AIP-generation inconsistency | ||||
| Description | I was playing a campaign w/ ZA allied from the start. None of their previous expansion had caused AIP increases. The setting "Allied Factions Generate AIP" was on, which was unintentional since I had been unaware of this default. But the setting "Allied factions destroy command stations" was off and that was fine. The ZA had expanded into three or so worlds w/out causing AIP increases. I wasn't present for any of these conquests. When I later attacked the planet "Konami," the ZA decided to jump in and killed the command station and warp gate, which I had purposely left alone. This caused +20 AIP. The inconsistency is that the ZA appear to only sometimes generate AIP when they kill command stations when "Allied Factions Generate AIP" is turned on. I'm going to leave it off for the future due to personal preference, but that's another matter. For this game, that setting was on. If this inconsistency is intentional (e.g., to allow allied ZA to expand w/out causing AIP even when "Allied Factions Generate AIP" is on), then better explanation should be provided in game to distinguish between situations where the ZA killing command stations and whatnot will cause an AIP increase versus when it won't. There is also the inconsistency of the ZA killing a command station & warp gate for a world they didn't appear to be expanding into when the setting "Allied factions destroy command stations" was off. | ||||

-Since ZA expanding is part of what they are which will eventually lead to civil war if enabled then it makes sense they would destroy command stations as allies even with that option off. - I noticed the Svikari destroyed the command station with this option on and only got +5 AIP for the destruction of gate. This only happen once so far. - Someone on Discord mention the Svikari after a while will also start destroying Command Stations (didn't say the level) and they got the message from them that they were tired of all those command stations in their way and started destroying them. |
