Infinate resources bug.

Hi again guys,

picked up this bug when playing random FO skirmishes (mostly as Borg);

Essentially resources get 'removed' from my team giving me unlimited money to build all buildings and like 10 cubes from the start.  All resource popups/messages on text is non existent, and just displays the original description text, this makes it a bit easy for me haha.

These are my settings:-

Map Nirvana II

AI Build Time Modifier 1.20
AI Resource Cost Modifier 1.20
Game Speed 2
Global Build Cost 0.00
Resources: Normal/ Standard Tech

Slots:
Me - [Random or Borg] {Team 1}
AI Hard [Dominion] {Team 1}
AI Hard [Romulan] {Team 2}
AI Hard [Federation] {Team 2}

if anything else is needed I'll try and get it

well setting the global build costs to 0 is not exactly a bug, is it?

Yeah, like Optec said, if you set your global build costs to zero... you have no costs

oh I thought that was a +modifier to existing resources   :(

The slider says Low>High implying there is at least some cost at low,  'none' would be more descriptive in this case I think to stop confusing people like me.

Hehe, well, modifying a number by zero still is zero  . If you click just right of that number, you'll get close to the same result though . Always best to leave the resource slider in its normal position I find though - it tends to screw up all the balancing
