If no-one else has, than only me and Greg have understood
this...
This is why I find your sharing of information below (for the
slower among you, I mean the visions) totally out of place.
Even if you did remove the noble's id and stack information...
You still have no business putting this on the g2-list.
Do it with your own nobles as much as you want, but don't
do this with others' nobles.
Now about the SFW bug...
I had noticed that a noble of mine that was executed in the
past had miraculously survived... at the time I figures it was
pure luck (like a 1% chance or something)... that same noble
escaped capture that same turn and ran away. He started his
611 studies again, but was caught before finishing them.
Again he miraculously survived the execution...
(the point was taken, and the ambiguity is still in the box)
The moral of the story?
As long as the bug is reported and you're not ACTIVELY abusing
it (like the tap healt explained by others in this thread) it's
a feature... If you don't have time to finish 611 and you happen
to die... tough luck. or not... depends on your point of view.
Rich should have fixed the bug.
Oh and about the trade bug, Rob?
How would you like it if I were to put a few market reports of PLATO
cities on the g2-list that sell or buy more than 2 trade goods? (even
up to 4)
Would that be like reporting a bug, a feature or would that be rude?
Let's try to keep the g2-list civilized, shall we?
Cappy (ooc cause my friends call me cappy :p )
