Faction Summary Screen Spy and Other Stats Incorrect?

[tenbsmith]

I know this had been discussed a while back, so maybe it's a known issue that is not worth addressing. The screens showing stats for each faction seem off for Spy and Research. I haven't looked at other stats, and so cannot say if they are accurate or not.

The Empire Summary screen shows 20 EP, Each turn my Dual of Assassins advances 20 points. But the Faction Summary screens Spy stats only adds to 5: Thulun 3 EP, Cadar 2, Rychart 0. (0 Spy for Rychart got my attention.) Summing system Spy stats gives you 20 EP. Rychart Prime 3EP, Roavin 3, Tennath 3. Thulun Prime 2, Cellet 2, Galantia 2. Cadar Prime 2, Starstreak Heights 2, Sayek Gamma 1.

On turn 188, Rychart-Thulun Trade Route, Cadar-Rychart Solar War (if we can get rid of this we will crush the Xeno), Thulun-Cadar Trade Alliance.

Research also seems off. Empire Summary shows 30RP, and Planetary Construction advances by 30RP each turn. But the faction specific screens only add to 19: Thulun 7, Cadar 7, Rychart 5.

4X - Bug - Faction Summary Screen Spy and Other Stats Incorrect?

I'm going to guess that there is something incorrect about the individual Faction summary screen, possibly related to Politics or Faction bonuses that vary, like Thulun.

This one turns out to be pretty tricky to fix. The issues come from Faction bonuses -- for example, Rychart colonies generate additional RP and Thulun (idle) Colonies do as well. This screen is summarizing Upgrades, but isn't looking deep enough into the saved game to able to determine how to apply all of the bonuses.

I am not sure this is something I am going to fix, but making this screen more obvious in terms of what it represents is definitely something I can try to address.

That seems reasonable. From my uninformed perspective, it seems odd that you can't recycle the code used for these stats on the Empire Summary screen and just apply a filter. Then again, this doesn't seem like a high priority.

The Empire Summary looks at a structure that basically represents "last run turn" however, that structure doesn't break out results into Faction specific buckets. It knows exactly how much RP and CP was generated the previous turn, and how it was spent ... but it doesn't know that 6 CP was generated by Thulun bonuses.

The core issue is that the Empire Summary and the Faction Summary get the data totally different ways -- and the data source for the Empire Summary lacks the necessary resolution of details to provide a Faction Summary.
