[RftG-genie] Two bugs.

[AlanJenkins2]

Th ere are two bugs that I know of.The first is just that you can use
some one of the cards you get from diverse economy to pay for
production on damaged alien factory -and then get an extra card for
producing an extra kind of good if that is your only alien production.
You aren't supposed to be able to do that..The second is that,if you
have improved logistics and mercenaries,you only get one opportunity
to discard to the mercenaries - before your first settle.That used to
be a bug with the AI,too,but Keldon fixed it.

I am not sure about the behavior of the current implementation. If it
only always you to discard once, but allows you to discard after the
first settle, it's a correct implementation of the rules. Does the
implementation disallow using mercenaries on the second settle, if you
haven't used it in the first? In RvI you can discard additionally if
someone is trying to take you over, but you can't discard extra for an
IL settle.

(But the DE/DAF thing is still a bug).

I should really look at the rules,but a friend told me that the mercenaries only say you can discard to them in the settle phase.They don't specify when in the settle phase.If that is true,you would expect to be able to use them at any point in the settle phase.
It is true that you cannot use the powers - eg,extra military - acquired in the first settle to help you with the second settle from improved logistics.However,you can use the card or cards acquired from the first settle to help pay for the second.So the two settles cannot actually be simultaneous,even if Tom had originally intended that they should be.

Hi,again,Rob.I've just tried asking Tom on the geek thread about the mercenaries.
