.NA Merc "Changes from KSU code to Merc code"
|
|
.LV Expert
|
|
.s1
|
|
There have been several changes/fixes made to the KSU code for
|
|
the Merc V game. This will outline the various changes and how
|
|
they will affect you.
|
|
|
|
Bridges
|
|
|
|
There was a bug which allowed planes that were on bridges that collapsed
|
|
to remain in the sea sector and could be retrieved by either rebuilding
|
|
the bridge or moving them onto a 100% highway. This has been fixed so
|
|
that any planes upon a bridgespan which falls will be destroyed.
|
|
|
|
Uncompensated Workers
|
|
|
|
Uncompensated workers were not paying taxes, even though the version command
|
|
provided a tax rate for them. They now pay the taxes that are shown.
|
|
|
|
.SY "reject reject announcements *"
|
|
|
|
This command now works, so that you can reject announcements from
|
|
everybody. This is not recommended though...
|
|
|
|
Technology
|
|
|
|
The tech formula has been fixed so that all increases in material
|
|
result in an increase in the amount of tech produced.
|
|
|
|
.NF
|
|
if(breakthroughs > 0.75) {
|
|
above = breakthroughs - 0.75;
|
|
tech = 0.75 + log2(1 + above);
|
|
}
|
|
else {
|
|
tech = breakthroughs;
|
|
}
|
|
.FI
|
|
|
|
Grind
|
|
|
|
The grind command now requires available work to grind up bars.
|
|
It takes 5 avail to grind up a gold bar.
|
|
|
|
Loans
|
|
|
|
Loans have been removed from Merc V. This is an experiment to see
|
|
how things go without loans being available.
|
|
|
|
Country Names
|
|
|
|
Certain commands only worked with country numbers, but they now work
|
|
with country names as well. The primary command that this affects for
|
|
Merc V is report.
|
|
|
|
Production
|
|
|
|
The production of dust/oil/rads is now limited to the resource content
|
|
of the sector. It used to be possible to get more out of a sector.,
|
|
|
|
Starvation
|
|
|
|
Sectors that have a very large number of civilians that starve will
|
|
have at most 499 civilians after the update unless there was enough food
|
|
to feed more than 499 civs.
|
|
|
|
Attack
|
|
|
|
The attack command now uses at least 1 mobility point per sector that
|
|
participates in any attack.
|
|
|
|
Pinpoint Bombing
|
|
|
|
Pinpoint bombing now lists all the commodities in a sector that can
|
|
be bombed.
|
|
|
|
Production Report
|
|
|
|
The production report now contains a report of what will actually be produced
|
|
by your sectors at the next update. Since some of the rounding done by the
|
|
update code uses a random percentage chance, it is possible that you will get
|
|
1-2 units more of some of the items. The production report command is
|
|
conservative, and assumes that all rounding will be down.
|
|
|
|
Version
|
|
|
|
The information in the version command was modified so that the information
|
|
that was printed out would reflect the actual parameters of the game.
