Intel: Research destruction |
Has anyone seen a problem with intel sabotage and research?
I just got a message stating that "Research Project Destroyed" but I don't see an actual effect from this. My progress indicator for that project seems untouched and I don't think I lost a level or anything.
How should this work? Do you lose only that turn's contribution towards the next level's progress? Or do you lose a full level? Or should it wipe all progress for that research item? Or...what?

Re: Intel: Research destruction
The project should subtract 5000 to 10000 points from your accumulated research amount in the affected tech area. Depending on your total research amount, you may or may not pick up.
I'll update the log message as well, as it's more of a "disrupt research" than "destroy research" project.

Re: Intel: Research destruction
Captain Kwok; isn't 10.000 - 20.000 a rather neglible amount when one gets further into the game? (Several 100K research points p. turn?)
Perhaps it's interesting to upgrade this?
10-20K is even a little when the game is still 'young'

Re: Intel: Research destruction
The disrupt research project is relatively cheap, so it's likely that multiple successes can occur during a player's turn. That said, perhaps the upper limit could be increased. 
Re: Intel: Research destruction
I was once earning 3 million research points a turn, is it not possible to make it a % of the players annual points generated?

Re: Intel: Research destruction
While those attacks maybe underpowered...I find the disrupt trade intel attack to be rather over powered in that it resets your trade agreement to 0 with just one hit.
Maybe it should reduce your trade agreement by say 5% (to give a mumber) per hit and so would require several intel hits to reduce an old trade agreement to 0.

Re: Intel: Research destruction
The problem there is that the disrupt trade project works by clearing the treaty time between the two empires. There's no way to manually change the trade percentage or just reduce the treaty time in the scripts.

Re: Intel: Research destruction
That's a shame
