Error with Fazrah race?

[Kimball]

Race opt 3 requires 5750 racial points. Is that possible?

Here are the numbers I came up with:
Defense 120 is 20x50 = 1000
Maint 110 is 10x50 = 500
Aggressive 120 is 20x50 = 1000
Repro 120 is 20x25 = 500
Lucky is 1000
Propulsion Experts is 1000
Total is 5000

The threshhhold for reproduction is 10. That means 120% is really 10*25 + 10 * 100 = 1250. I used the values during game setup and verified the error. Here are the numbers out of setting.txt

Characteristic Reproduction Max Pct := 130
Characteristic Reproduction Min Pct := 91
Characteristic Reproduction Pct Cost := 25
Characteristic Reproduction Threshold := 10
Characteristic Reproduction Threshhold Pct Cost Pos := 100
Characteristic Reproduction Threshhold Pct Cost Neg := 10

Oops. You're right. But I guess I'm in fine company if Aaron made the same mistake when he setup the point values. http://www.shrapnelgames.com/ubb/images/icons/icon7.gif

Are the Fazrah your race? Anyway, I found it purely by accident. I just happened to pick the Fazrah as a model to create my own race.

No! *laugh* Me, create a race? No. I'm not that smart yet. But I'm learning a lot from reading excellent Posts by folks such as Baron Munchausen and others.

I just meant that maybe Aaron goofed the same way I did when he chose the characteristics for his default SEIV race, the Fazrah. The reproduction values seem the most likely reason they are off. I made a mistake when I figured them in. Maybe Malfador did as well.

BTW, I tested this race in a game. They seemed to have everything but the reproduction bonus. (I tested it by copying the ModPack directory to a new one, modifying the path to point to the new one and then removing enough races to guarantee 'automatic'/'random' inclusion of the Fazrah.)

Ahh, I see. I will write to Aaron and let him know.
