[SE5 v1.74] History Tech causes conflict with Society Type? |
Hey, I’m the type that enjoys a race that does maximum damage in combat. I went Berzerkers for my Society Type so I can gain:
All vehicle weapons have a +20% chance to hit.
All vehicle weapons get +10% to damage.
I enjoy crushing my enemies that has far better technology then me. You ask how? The Berzerkers society type natural +20% chance to hit and +10% damage for the win.
But that didn’t stop me from making my strong race even more powerful, I wanted to go much stronger! So I decide to put all my research point into History, because it says you get
weapon hit % and weapon damage % base on the tech level.
After reaching History level 19, my Abilities chart in Quadrant Wide shows:
All vehicle weapons have a +19% chance to hit.
All vehicle weapons get +19% to damage.
All vehicle weapons have a +20% chance to hit.
All vehicle weapons get +10% to damage.
Eager to get the last level, finally! History level 20! But wait… something looks odd to me,
Abilities chart in Quadrant Wide now shows:
All vehicle weapons have a +20% chance to hit.
All vehicle weapons get +20% to damage.
All vehicle weapons get +10% to damage.
My Berzerkers +20% chance to hit is gone! So I said wait…let me save and reboot my computer so the game can be refresh. After rebooting and load my save game, guess what…
it still missing the 20% chance to hit. Either the text thing isn’t set right or the history tech level 20 override the Berzerkers +20% chance to hit ability.
I’m hoping it’s just bad texting then actually losing 20% chance to hit.
So the question is, is this a bug or just bad texting?

What you describe, if I remember correctly, is a normal part of the game.
No, it should not dissapear like it did, but only the highest rated same-effect ability will actually be used. (ex: I have a +6 damage boost, and a +12. only the 12 will be used, as it is the better number.
Thus, all this time you've been at +20 to hit your target, and only +20.
I am actually rather surprised that your lesser +10 damage did not disappear in the same manner.

Ah, that would pretty much sucks if the abilities don't stack, kinda defeats the purpose of having the race traits. But if you say that the traits don't stack, I don't understand that at level 19 history tech I had
All vehicle weapons have a +19% chance to hit.
All vehicle weapons get +19% to damage.
All vehicle weapons have a +20% chance to hit.
All vehicle weapons get +10% to damage.
And at level 20 it became
All vehicle weapons have a +20% chance to hit.
All vehicle weapons get +20% to damage.
All vehicle weapons get +10% to damage.
Thanks for the response though, thought no one would answer it
