Author Topic:   Hive immune to inefficiency?

MOCKBa posted 03-23-99 09:06 AM ET
In a new patch 3.0 game I play Hive. No matter what social engineering I choose, even going specifically after the ones with increasing inefficiency, my rating for that category never passes below 0. Now why on earth is that? Can I build something cool that removes all negative efficiency modifiers?

A little following up:
I tried staring an accelerated game for each faction to check this bug out, and it is truly so: on Transcend level Hive Efficiency will not drop below 0 no matter what social engineering you undertake. All other factions will. I do not know what gives for other levels of play.

This is not a bug. It was set this way on purpose.

Oh! I see, in the readme for version 2.0 - but it is not mentioned in datalinks. I suggest Firaxis include mention of this for the Hive in the next revision of SMAC. This feature does make The Hive worth considering. In fact, my most succesful game (443% on Transcendent) was with The Hive.
