So i have bought the game finally.... started playing Venusian divide and i notice that you putted 15 colonies cap on the planet why???? it was so nice to have whole Venus conquered and covered with my colonies...
i also noticed that the ore isn't stocked so it is practically waisted if you don't have the industrial center......
Also i have question do i have to download some kind of patch or it is already patched up. I have bought it through BMTMicro....
The game is fantastic but still i can be an much greater......
I never noticed the colony limit. True, in that scenario you could cover the whole planet, but in most of the scenarios that won't be practical. I agree it's a limitation, but I don't think it hurts the game strategy. I assume they did the cap for memory purposes but don't know.
I agree the ore behavior is strange. It appears you convert goods from ore at the rate of about 1 unit per game-month, cumulative, but sometimes longer. A warehousing system or other, better tracking would help. IMO, such mechanics should be transparent to the player.
The patched version is 1.0.1, which I downloaded from this site. The changes are minor. If building plans "stick" to you mouse pointer, then you've got the unpatched version.
