Unfriendly Neighbors/Bereak the Monopoly HELP!!!

[bill07407]

I am doing well - have a balance of 7000 and have taken 3 Blue Islands with one left when suddenly I am told "You have been deposed" and the game ends. I am not broke and am winning the war - why does this happen?

[Dobber]

Could there possibly be a time limit to be met also?

I went and checked it out and don't see anything that would suggest a time limit. Perhaps you have not been helping the other player to maintain a population of 1000 Aristocrats, Maybe you helped him reach the 1000 Aristocrats and then in your attention to the war and defeating the blue player, you allowed him drop below his 1000 Aristocrats which would be considered a failure.

If you still have a savegame I would not mind to look into it to find the reason.

Only possibility for the "deposed" message would be
a) You defeated the player that you were supposed to support
b) Your cash stays negative for a while (irrespective of the balance)

Looking into the assignment there is no player to support in this scen, even though the text tells you different. :scratch:

@Dobber: The game would not end if your own or the opponent's population dropped below 1000...

[Dobber]

Bill, did you ever figure out what was causing you to be deposed?

The first time I played this scenario, years ago, I ran into the same mystery. I don't know how the developers of the game did this but in the written description of the goal it says " and maintain" the ai's population of 1,000. I've never run across this before or since but if the other goals are not achieved and you help the ai to over 1,000 but later they drop below that number........you lose!
