Hello,

I play with the last version (1.07.02) and it seems the victory points collection is bugged. I finished a game where Turkey won end of 1811 and hardly got above 7 VPs per turn! And just started a new game where Russia got 6% VPs (outta 347 required) after one economical phase in which it got 8 VPS only (to get 6%s it would have needed 20...).

I would also much prefer to see the actual victory points shown (maybe with the %age in addition) than the %age it would be much clearer (I think) and much easier to spot bugs like this one.

Thanks,

Lildorien.

I forgot to precise I'm playing only human vs all hard AI (testing the pc game (I know the board game very well) before advising friends to buy it and make PBEM games).

Here follows a summary of my current game where I play Great Britain as only human vs Hard AI. You'll see the VPs earned by each country during each economical phase so far, the actual %age earned and the %age shown on the victory point status screen.

Thanks for reading this and correcting this issue in the future.

What version are you running?

Hello,

I play with the last version (1.07.02)

the games works that way, that hard AI is getting huge bonuses each ECO phase (including VPs, $, MP and PP) - there should be entry in game log, stating how much exactly (IIRC)

Actually, the VP bonuses should be gone in 1.07???

In the version I play (1.07.02) there is no VP bonus nor PP bonus for hard AI selection, only money and manpower. I checked the entry logs and that's clearly stated (and it makes sense too, otherwise it's just impossible to beat a country that can win 1811 [:D] just doing nothing but sitting in its corner) so that's a bug where what appears in the events box is not what is taken into account.

Talking about the AI, I must say it's particularly disappointing as I finished a game where France played hard AI, and lost not issuing a single war declaration over the whole game (and therefore lost of course)... but anyway first thing first, please plan on solving this VP collection bug so I can play a game to its logical (?) end, thanks

Lildorien.

Understood! Can you send me your game?

WAIT: Nevermind! I just located the problem code here in a test game! There were still bonus VPs still being added! I have fixed this for 1.08! Appreciate the help in identifying this problem!
