	A question for Jeff or anyone who knows. Lose 30 kilos (of popups)

This line in alphax.txt

1, 1 ; Numerator/Denominator for frequency of global warming (1,2 would be "half" normal warming).

I currently run this at 1, 10 (I've had enough of being washed away because Yang, Santiago and Domai want to be planet rapers).

What is the limit on what the denominator can be changed to? Like, could this be changed to 1, 100 or even 1, 1000?

Anybody know who Jeff is?

Anyway, if you set the denominator low enough, your number would be close enough to zero that you wouldn't have global warming any more.

Look on your SMAC box, Jeff's name may just be mentioned there somewhere...

Sorry. I make it a point never to read a game box unless I expect to see something.

If you set the values like this:

0,1

You will not have any global warming. I played a game with this edit, had nearly 300+ minerals at every base (50+ bases) and the sea level never changed.

Although without the global warming some of the fun is taken away in trying to prevent it.

It has taken the GREAT and MIGHTY JEFF 4 years to calculate the answer to your question Qilue.

And the answer is.....

After much contemplation the GREAT and MIGHTY JEFF has discerned the following facts:

In the game of SMAC, roads are completely unnecessary! They are a time wasting diversion at best, and an invasion route at worst!
The GREAT and MIGHTY JEFF foresees hordes of mind worms utilizing your own roads to easily destroy your wanting empires!
Abandon your foolish designs and tear up your own roads before it is too late!

That is the wisdom dispensed by the GREAT and MIGHTY JEFF!

No, it's not me.

I am getting on-line somewhat less nowadays, but check in from time to time.

I'm not sure who it is.

PS

If you manage to read through all of the pages of that thread you'll find that my test of playing a Trans SP game without making any roads except on mines indicated that playing without making roads was painful.


I managed to win the game, but it would have been a lot easier (and faster) if I made roads.


PPS

Isn't that one of the reasons we play this game?
To test ourselves, and our theories?
And have fun.

Actually, I worked out the answer on my own 4 years ago.

I reasoned that the denominator defined by a forumla something like this -> 1/2^x where x was betwee 0 - 15 inclusive (0 - F). This would give a possible range of 1 to 32768 for the denominator.

Of course, it could be as simple as 1/x where x is a range of 1 - 16.

A thank-you goes to Reznod for answering.

Well I could have let you know Skanky, if you had been around back then.

However, having received no response, I didn't really feel such a confirmation was needed.

yeah think of all the lurkers who were dying to know the answer, but spent the past 4 years not knowing.

My only hope is these lurkers are still around today to finally find out the answer.
