Disciples of Sobek(Flight Eater) is bugged

[Bioflick]

i was just to enjoy this lovely house. and failed a mass since the opponent still adds defence from his MS...

provides 12,999,547,775,000 additional defence power to the troops on the ground!

Its not allways failing, but here and there.

An incorrect display of said House's bonus, as most who have dwelt in that house probably have experienced.

Sobek has an 80% chance of ignoring both attacking and defending motherships (no battle, no damage).

BONUS:100 Percent Negates All Mothships In Attack/Raid Battles- Own and Enemy

I see you changed it to 80% now. bug fixed i guess

[Ritalin]

I guess somebody asked for it to be reduced..

Back in 2011, when it was last changed? Maybe, that was before my time.
I do not do 'updates on demand'. Ask anyone.

Seeing as a Fleet (aboard a MS) cannot be attacked, they in turn can not attaack others ---ie this house cannot conquer planets.
Flight Eaters, of course, will not be able to fly without angering their god...so it is in fact your own crew who -in fear of gods- does not engage in such flights.
UPDATE(the next day): OK - so, massing planets was an issue if target could not destroy the fleet back. But no planet acquisition also an equal issue...SO.....
The ability of those in the house to attack planets is back. BUT the chance that the MotherShips do NOT engage (but turns still used) is now 80%, leaving 20% of the time it works normally....
Also: 20% of the time, defender and attacker MS WILL engage in normal battles.
This should allow everyone their desired actions, with a bit more risk than before, and potentially costing more turns for retaliation, but not impossible.

So with every 100 hits 20 hits will be guanteed with full ms or is it random?

No. Every 1000 hits there will be 200 which will go through.

ok so its been spaced out to be less predictable

[Support]

That is actually not how it works. (Denis.. *shakes fist*)


Every attack, you have an 80% chance that Motherships will not engage. Each new attack is a new 'draw' if you will.
So while sure, over every 1000 hits you will on average have 200 engagements, that is not absolute.

Im curious why it was changed. Whats wrong with a house that 100% removes MS's.

Can't ever take a planet?

[Duderanch]

I thought planet taking was unaffected by the house, only ms battles.

It was discussed here:- viewtopic.php?p=2239805#p2239805

If you were in flight eaters, you could never take a planet, but those outside flight eates seemed to be able to take yours.

[Guild]

what a stupid change to the house, should totally negate MS's

[Support]

Again, not a change, only an end to the false advertising about the House bonus.

Would you rather have had the game continue to display "100%" while actually working with 80%?
I fail to see how that would be in any way better than properly displaying the House bonus.

Unless of course you mean the change and discussion in 2011, then yes, that does look like an odd affair. My action now is strictly rectifying a display mistake that was never corrected in the 3 years we have had this House.
