BUG: Chieftan Abducted by Aliens
EsotericPolarBear:
does no one believe in edge scrolling?
Zazazu:
You can use the mini-map to navigate, too.
GayJohnScarritt:
I just finished my first run from cell to space, and i noticed the mini-map at Civ stage is NOT the same as the planet-mini-map at Space stage. The Civ mini-map (in my game) showed slightly less surface area and omitted showing 1 city entirely, tho i managed to find it by scrolling around in the big map. At Space stage, the mini-map showed the whole area.

I wouldn't mind the camera if it was consistent between stages. I HATE that all of the camera controls change once you hit tribal.
Ah, but that's just standard Maxis house programming style. Since Spore is a stack of different games, no-one with project direction control saw fit to direct that the various controls had a consistency from one phase to the next. I'm still snickering, in TS2: AL, where the interaction menus now contain: [Slow Dance] and {[Dance] > [Classic]}
The progress-stall caused by the loss of the tribe leader has always pissed me off. Realistically, there are no epoch-length hiatuses between the death of a king and the rise of the next. There's always an aspirant tyrant waiting at the foot of the dictator's throne plinth with his eyes fixed hungrily on the dead man's slippers. And what's the deal with the king going into battle with nothing more deadly than a skull on a stick? A leader arises because of superior arse-kicking abilities and moreover a leader always ensures that he carries the best weapons.
SpaceDoll:
Actually, I believe the Chieftan's staff has all functionality of whatever weapons/instruments/tools your tribe has acquired, so it is really the Leatherman of Kings. Or would that be King of Leathermen? As far as the respawn of a new Chieftan, I don't mind waiting for that so much as not being able to continue on to the Civ stage AT ALL because he has been abducted. I am learning to utilize the side scroll a little more, and once I discovered that clicking (or is it right-clicking?) each tribe member's "thumbnail" centers them on screen and then follows them (much like Sims), the travelling has gotten easier, too.
Now, though, I am puzzled by the fact that on another planet, every rival tribe consists of a single custom creature I populated a different planet with. I don't remember the villages all being the same on the last planet; aren't they supposed to be random, or something?
