[Fixed][Bug?] Mini Underground bounty window not behaving properly

from Sins Forums

I'm not calling it a bug just yet, but I don't understand why it would work this way:

You'll see I put bounty on Blue, and nobody else besides him and me have bounty. The mini underground window makes me increase bounty on Green, even though he's at 0 and it stayed set on Green after I increased Blue's bounty.

Shouldn't it update to the highest bountied player? Basically, it's not apparent why it should not update to let me up the bounty on the next highest target, instead of some other one?

Yeah, that doesn't seem right. If I remember correctly, it's supposed to go to the highest player not allied to you.

Could the mini Underground panel please be a little improved by showing the sword-icon and the targeted player's icon for a while after the pirates have launched? So one wouldn't need to open the underground menu to check if one missed the end of the countdown.

Thanks!

I was just going to update my post and mention that I had a cease fire with Blue, which is probably why it didn't show.

That fact didn't click until I slept on it (yes, I dream about pirates and bounty).

Still, Blue isn't allied so is a valid target for bounty so I think it should still show there.

I would think so as well.

You sure that's supposed to be a un or just an o there? }:)

Yep, pretty sure. Vasari booty just isn't that appealing, you know.

It picks the highest, enemy player to place the bounty on. You must have had an alliance of some type with blue. If you didn't, its a bug, if you did its working as intended.

Well I had a cease fire, but in my opinion that shouldn't exclude them from the mini underground window. I made the connection the morning after I posted. I get the logic, but it's a little counter-intuitive since there are plenty of times when a player wouldn't necessarily care about putting bounty on a cease-fired opponent. An actual ally shouldn't show up since you can't put a bounty on him to begin with, but to keep things simple I'd say everything else should be fair game.

Thanks for the reply :)

We'll change it so if you are allied he isn't picked otherwise he's fair game.
