Interesting discovery regarding pacifism drones.
« on: August 07, 2013, 03:24:39 AM »
Units in a pact brother's territory produce pacifism drones just like any other unit outside your territory.  But units in a pact brother's base (or even another faction's base if placed there via the scenario editor or similar) count like units in your territory: They do not produce pacifism drones unless they are non-air superiority air units.

While I'm on the topic: Whether a unit costs support, and whether it counts as an interceptor for purposes of pacifism drones, are among the things that depend not on the unit's actual stats, but on the unit "plan" (which depends on the unit's stats unless assigned otherwise in alphax.txt.  So if you assigned scout patrols the "plan" of info warfare (number 11), they will no longer cost support or produce pacifism drones*...but the AI will try to use them as if they were probe teams.  Likewise if you make a premade air unit with plan 4 (air superiority) and don't give it the SAM ability, it will not produce pacifism drones in your territory, and the AI will use it as if it had the SAM ability.

*In my next patch, the "not producing pacifism drones" property will be removed, since I'll be providing the option to have even actual probe teams produce pacifism drones; since that code shouldn't be used for non-probe-team units anyway, I doubt that will be a problem.

* Random quote

And when the hourglass has run out, the hourglass of temporality, when the noise of secular life has grown silent and its restless or ineffectual activism has come to an end, when everything around you is still, as it is in eternity, then eternity asks you and every individual in these millions and millions about only one thing: whether you have lived in despair or not.
~Soren Kierkegaard 'The Sickness Unto Death', Datalinks
