Author Topic: Security Chief: Incorrect warning pop-up with odds before attacking (Read 1061 times)

Game version: GOG Game, SMACX, Yitzi 3.5 + Yitzi 3.5d + PRACX 1.08

Situation: rover tries to attack weak mind worm, with very good chances to win. And here we get 3 issues at once:

Pop-up with warning is shown, offering me to call off the attack, despite I have very good chances to win
There is text “their odds are 24 to 7”. But actually it’s my odds to win are “24 to 7”, not “their”
Looks like there is a bug that “warning pop-up is shown when player odds to win are very high, instead of when player odds to win are very low”, and in case player odds to win will be really low - warning pop-up will not be displayed

"Their odds" in the second sentence is indeed referring to "Our forces" in the first sentence. Chalk it up to the oddities of the English language.

yes, you are completely right! thanks!

I was confused by the picture on the dialog, where "red arrows" are overwhelming "yellow" arrows

I will report to moderator to remove the post
