Odd question
« on: February 06, 2014, 01:10:15 pm »
When you start the game, you are supposed to start with 10xHuman home settlements that produce 4000 energy each, and 2x Human home settlements that produce 50 resources each.  I know this because originally this was the case on my computer, and it is the case in every multiplayer game I don't host.

However now I only start with 1x Human home settlement that produce 50 resources, and no others.  I also don't start with the mercenary dock built.  I've reinstalled the game from scratch multiple times, and can't recall when this started.

The question:  Is this a setting I somehow set somewhere, or is my game somehow bugged, not related to the installation files?

Edit:  Attaching screenshot.  Notice the time and AIP.  Nothing was lost, everything was spawned at this point.  I was missing those 12 structures.  11 human home settlements, and the mercenary dock.

I believe it has to do with your difficulty level. I haven't played in a while though so I don't know for sure.

Hrm... you seem to be correct.  Thanks for letting me know then.  It seems every difficulty above 5 gives 1 50 resource settlement, and every difficulty above 6 gives 10 400 energy settlement.  Now if I can just figure out why whenever I want to actually start a game, it keeps defaulting to difficulty 6 when I want 7.  Probably user error there since I just was able to start one at 7 >.>
