Lost the ability to set advantage factor

November 11, 2002 10:37 PM from

After doing a re-install I lost the ability to set the advantage factor. Tried a few things by editing the prefs.ini but does not seem to help. Any suggestions ?

This was removed. Player's will always have 10 pts. at their disposal, disposing of the "Advantage Factor" that would too commonly be confused with "Difficulty Level".

We'll be using that space for a couple extra Political Parties.

Hmm...I'll check to make sure that we're not checking for the advantage factor variable in the prefs.ini file anymore.

Nope, we weren't re-calculating the bonus points left if you had a lower advantage factor in your settings file.

That explains my suicidal 0 points! I assume we can just change the prefs.ini file for now?

Yes, you should be able to edit the file to get your points back
