Bug - Started in Cari System

January 9, 2006 11:01 PM from

First game I started under 90b had me, playing the Terrans, start off in the Cari system. Earth was named Cari 1, not earth. The Caris home world was Cari 2 (Mars equivalent). I have a save demonstrating this if need be.

If all races get their homeworld systems in thie beta as in previous, then I would guess that when the Minor Cari race spawned, it selected "Mars" (or some other world in the Terran Home System), and renamed the system after the new, more famous occupants. However this situation came about, it really sucked for a player (my!) start, because it meant I didn't even have the Terran's Mars to settle as a bonus small world.

and your problem? all terrans have been mandated by the CariElf Fan Club to start in the Cari system, and pay taxes in chocolate, coffee and dew. this is what all beta-testers have been clamouring for since build 0.01.002.005/8. i s'pose you've been just reading all those tactical combat threads

Well, in my second game tonight (I told it was a rough start. AI ate my lunch, supper, and breakfast

), I got my own home star system again. So, it looks like I was just extra lucky with that start... being able to start off with the Chosen People of Cari.

I've seen that sort of behavior when I started a new game without exiting GC2 completely.
