I PREDICT A RIOTby HazedBella is working on the code for planetary riots right now, and it will be going into the game to be tested in the next couple of days. Assuming that no major bugs show up, it will be turned on for players on Friday. You have been warned – get your houses in order, keep your populaces happy, or suffer the consequences. The figure to keep an eye on is your disaffection which shows on the planet display. This is a percentage, and the higher it gets, the higher the chance that something horrible will happen. Every day at reset, the game will do the equivalent of throwing a 100-sided dice, and if the resulting number is lower than your disaffection figure, there will be a riot. For example, if your disaffection is at 20%, then there's a 20% (1 in 5) chance there will be a riot. If there is a riot, a number of things could happen. First, one of your stockpiles will be wiped out at random. Then things get more serious, and one of the following will happen:
So you can see the results can be catastrophic - and they won't just affect you but could also damage property belonging to other players! You will be sent some in-game mail telling you what happened, and the details will appear on the SpyNet Financial report, so everyone else will see the results of your negligence. If the damage happens to property belonging to another player, they will get mail – and will no doubt be very, very angry with you for allowing things on your planet to get to such a parlous state. You have most definitely been warned! Warning: |
