[0.90]Iridium Corporation - Major Bug - Economics Tree Tech/Buildings

from GalCiv3 Forums

I've reported the following bug of adjacency bonuses not working multiple times, but I feel it deserved it's own post because in the current state of the Iridium Corporation is completely unplayable in a competitive sense. Having NO ADJACENCY BONUSES is equivalent to having a 2000% NEGATIVE MODIFIER by the end game.

 

The Buildings:

Free Market - No adjacency bonus; Upgrades to nothing;(Perhaps should upgrade to Iridium Store)

Iridium Store - No adjacency bonus

Iridium Center - No adjacency bonus

Iridium World - No adjacency bonus

----

Market Center - Upgrades to nothing;(Perhaps should upgrade to Colonial Bank; and should be unlocked at beginning of game to keep tech tree flow)

 

In conclusion, Iridium Corporation is by far the worst Influence faction in the game, when it should be one of the best.  If Influence still affects Tourism Income(can anyone confirm), then it's also a huge blow to their credit revenue as well. Making them terrible at both Influence and Economics.

I believe the point is, that rather than having econ worlds and influence worlds, you can have worlds that do both. Also, what do you mean theres no adjaceny bonuses, they all get adjacency bonuses to both econ and influence. Well, except for the market.

It says they get an adjacency bonus on the text tooltip, but they  do not actually receive the bonus in your Influence calculation.

For ex: You have an Iridium Store, and a Lvl 6 adjacency bonus; so it should be a +8 Influence total, but instead you will only ever get +2(from the building base stats), because adjacency bonuses do not work with these buildings.

Edit: And just to make it clear, there isn't some phantom calculation going on in the background that you can't see.  You just don't get the Influence, ever. You can test it with pretty much any other race, and not only see how your total Influence is MUCH higher in the long-run, but you can also see that the other Influence buildings(non-Economics tree) adjacency bonuses are shown in the tooltip, and calculated correctly.

Bug still present in release! This means the Iridum currently have the worst economy unless you destroy all of your tech level 1 economic buildings. They're meant to be the economic powerhouse. Please address this, it's ruined the game I was very much enjoying :-(.
