Yes Ministers....

Submitted by Teddy Bär on Sat, 2008-04-05 07:03. Space Empires V General

I have now got the full game and have it installed with the latest patch and the BM mod + BM update for the latest patch.

Having a look through the various nooks and crannies I cam across the ministers and now I am wondering if I turn them on but do not enable them on a unit/s do they have any affect in the game?

I have had a read of Captain Kwok's minister's page which is very enlightening.

I am presuming that I enable a minister and from then on the unit does as per the minister's desire. If I do not enable the minister on a unit it does only as ordered by me?

If a ship is under a ministers order then does it show me what it is doing etc?

Any in game feedback/advice on their use would be appreciated.

Cheers,

Teddy Bär

Anubite Lord,
No.

When I have a ship planned to colonise a planet then when I click on that ship it will show me the path and on what turn it will be on that path and it will also note that it is to colonise planet Blah.

Having a minister control the day to day ops of the ships for example, should be good, but even if it is great it is no good to me if I cannot understand what is happening within my empire.

Cheers,

Teddy Bär

I understand that u cannot use ministers because u dont no wat theyy r doing as such, so simple answer dont use ministers or can u not focus on everything therefore needing ministers to help??? y the question in the 1st place, u cant control ministers so dont use them they overide ur decisions.

clicking on a minister controled ship during your turn should, if I remember correctly, provde you with it's destination and the ETA, however it might not if the minister cancels all moves at the end of the turn (though I think it does this at the start of the turn instead)

You'll be able to view the ship's orders etc., but no special messages are made to inform the player what a minister-controlled ship/planet is doing.
