Are Starting Game Bonuses Cumulative

July 29, 2006 6:04:56 PM from Stardock ForumsStardock Forums
Does anyone know if the Civilization Ability bonuses and the Political Party bonuses are cumulative? For example: If the Federalist party grants a 20% economic bonus and you chose a 30% Civilization econ bonus at startup, do you get a 20%, 30% or 50% econ bonus? When I tried this, the screen indicated a 30% bonus.

I normally don't apply bonuses in the same area twice. Now I know why. Gotta watch out in this game, things that don't work right will cheat you sometimes. Like the Omega Research Center, description says 50% overall bonus to research. It's actually 10%. Or, the Orbital Terraformer that removes upgradable tiles instead of making them useable. Hehe, should be called the Orbital Tile Destroyer

Sounds like a bug. Omega research center provides 50% TO THAT PLANET ONLY.

Orbital terraformer should not remove tiles, so if you could poke a dev, that would be awesome.

It *should* be 50%, might be 30%. Fairly sure I've got them stacking before.

In any case, the description needs to refelect what the improvement actually does. It says, "This massive research center will give us a 50% improvement to research." To me, that says 50% overall. When I checked the planetary research points after it built, it looked to me like they all increased by 10%. Though, I could be mistaken.

Just trested a few cases using economy and/or military boni. In my games the boni always added up to each other.

Thanks for checking guys! BTW, where did you find that? I obviously was looking at the wrong screen. Thanks again.
