ComCitCat in uninhabited planet after com...:

Somewhen during my last turns I attacked a planet with a ship and won the combat. But afterwards there was no clan on the surface. How can that happen? Docs claim that there will be always at least one clan after a ship wins the combat.

any amorphous worms on that planet? it seems that they have a taste for colonists... :-)

Well yes exactly. *shame on me*

I am so ashamed to start a thread about that.

But on the other hand I would not have solved that (in a reasonable amount of time) without the wanderers help. He gave me an idea to check in the docs.

I did that and got here where losses through riots are promtly followed by losses through amorphs. Which gave me the impulse to check that point again... :rolleyes:

you are missing some important things.

first, there is no such thing as a dumb question. only a dumb unasked question.

second, should i be ashamed to have asked the same question under the same circumstances about 18 years ago? yes, i was playing the Fed, did not capture a planet in combat, and ask the same question that you just did ! btw, i got the same answer that i gave to you, amorphous worms... :-)

third, by asking a "dumb" question, you allow other players to benefit from your experience, and the planets community benefits by having better players available to it.

lastly, i have intentionally asked a "dumb" question (knowing the answer) just to put the Q&A in front of the players around me... so, should i be ashamed of that as well?
