With the newest patch dated 25/4, the military and social bonus works as intended! :D
hake
My post apparently doesn't show immediately in the newsgroup, so please have patience...
Since it might be a systems specific problem, I posted proof in the stardock.games.galciv newsgroup! It's named "Social and military bonus doesn't work! Proof included!"
The bonus makes no difference whatsoever. And yes, I know - and I am sure Bonkku does too - it is applied to capacity. Example: With an initial 20% social bonus, I set military spending to 100%. Result: 17 Creds spent, 17 production received. Then I set social spending to 100%. Result 17 received. Then research... Result 17 research points received.
Use Stardock!
As previously mentioned, the speed ability does not work. Neither does the social or military production abilities. You don't get increased capacity. You don't get more shields, even though you increase spending to 100% at set social or military production to full.
To TheFire The bonuses are to capacity... yes. But if you set spending to 100 percent and spend it all on social production (if that's where you have your racial bonus), you SHOULD see an increased production - and more money spent. Only problem is... you don't.
Has any of you guys posted the bug in the bug thread?
