United Planets Resolution ignored

from GalCiv3 Forums

In my game, the United Planets passed the resolution "Galactic Domain" under which all races cannot colonize planets within another race's borders.  However, after that resolution was passed, the Drengin colonized a planet deep with my borders.  I am playing the Terrans.  I have not played this game much yet.  Is this a bug or am I missing something?

Thanks!

Can you submit a ticket (https://esupport.stardock.com/index.php?/Tickets/Submit) with the save game attached so we can take a look?  Thank you.

Is it me or is it sometimes difficult to tell what the UP vote decision is on a resolution? Sometimes I can`t tell if it`s Yes or No, there`s no indication.

Does something like this need to be a bug - Ie why shouldn't a Race within the UP defy a resolution?

That leads to resolutions where a Race is somehow punished for defying that resolution.

Thanks.  I have submitted a ticket and will try installing the opt-in patch to see if that helps.

I agree, it could be a game mechanic rather than a bug, but if so shouldn't there be some kind of immediate penalty for violating the resolution?

I prefer the idea of this being a game mechanic. To me, this is something that makes the UP more than just a "every so often, all us races get together and we vote on stuff.." As I've already stated when it comes to Espionage, the UP and it's inner workings or inner not-workings would add an extra layer to GalCivIII to those like me who prefer espionage/propaganda/etc to violence as a first option.

Essentially, I think the UP should be more like the UN: Maybe not so far as to have a Security Council where all permanent Members have Veto Powers (real life complaint), but where it's not just a case of "I vote to punish the Drengin, they have to do what the UP says!" The Drengin can make a case against the influence the Alterians have on the UP and how their automatic bias against the Drengin means the UP is basically an Alterian War Court etc...

This, of course, lends itself to the idea of several races breaking away from the UP and forming their own council. Not sure if Stardock see that as a worthwhile idea to work on and to be fair, what do you do if the UP spawns a Mini-UP which spawns a More-Mini-UP??

The whole UP screen needs some work really. There's a general lack of information on the screen.

Yep, confirmed that the final vote sometimes doesn't appear. It 'may' be an issue of localized version...no clue.

Phew. Thats a relief. I`m not the only one not seeing the `Yes` or `No` pop up! Kinda surprising they haven`t sorted this. Heck, they could even put a voice over saying `RESOLUTION PASSED!` or denied, just as a placeholder so we know what`s happening.
