Land Claiming Question
#74992 - 10/21/03 09:38 AM (68.119.216.174)

An empire next to mine just deleted it self, and I claimed a zone that had had a city. Now it shows as having 0 buildable spaces, but there is a "C" on the map as if it has commercials. What I'm wondering is if this means zones a randomized every time they're claimed? If so, what's to stop me from unclaiming zones and reclaiming them until I get a mine or a large city zone?

No, building letters showing up on the map is a bug that happens when you claim a zone that used to belong to an empire that was deleted. It will go away, you don't get the buildings. And no, zones aren't randomized

If a zone's contents aren't determined randomly each time they're claimed, then why can't I build in that zone anymore? The last guy could....

It's a 0 building zone? Hm, that's weird. Maybe he didn't build in the zone, it's a bug after all, it doesn't have to follow the rules

Actually, I just claimed the zone he had his other city in and it has 0 buildable spaces now too. I'm gonna keep unclaiming a reclaiming them and see if it changes.

They are randomized when the empire deletes, not each time they are claimed.

that would be expensive, but Haskell is right. When an empire deletes, the zones that it held at that time are re-randomized, no other time.

i actualy think that the zone buildable space is set to its free building space that was there at the moment left when the empire deleted. so a full builded zone results in an unbuildable zone.
