Persistent error regarding standings

from GalCiv3 Forums

I observe that in 1.3 there are constant discrepancies between the civilization standings in different areas (such as tech power) on the Diplomacy Page and on the Graphs button from the main page.

It's very common in one of my one on one games for the Graphs display to show me with an immense lead on technology, but the diplomacy page will show me as #2.

Which display is more accurate?

Sad, but it happens not everyone will answer your posts.

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but don't the graphs show how much technology somebody is gaining per turn? Or am I thinking of a different graph?

The diplomacy rankings currently have me at #2 in approval, even though all of my planets are at 100% approval and have been for 100 turns.  I doubt that any of my AI opponents have over 100% approval.  Unfortunately there's no approval graph on the graphs button to compare to.

I can't at the moment speak to the tech power graph and ranking, since in my current game I'm #1 in both and have been for quite a while.  In military though, I was #2 in graph and ranking for a while, until a combination of my buildup and my destruction of the Krynn fleets made me #1.  For several turns the graph still had me behind the Krynn while the ranking had me at #1, so I suspect the graph might lag.

On the other hand there might be problems with both :grin:

I'm not sure if you wanted support / Devs to respond, but you posted on a Saturday. Support is not in office and most of the time that goes for the Devs too.

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

Approval is what your people think of you.  Diplomacy is what other peoples think of you.  Its possible for the two to be different.

Aha!  Good to know.

I've read the manual several times and much is not covered. Maybe tech power is different from the research rating? Maybe tech power means how much technology has been researched and research rating means research per turn? Incidentally, my puzzlement at no responses for a day was not directed at the devs. I just thought other players might have noticed such apparent discrepancies. I'll try to remember to submit a ticket later when I'm at home.
