Zeta Maul and EP speed bug

RtwoDad

There is an issue with the zeta maul lead with Emperor Palpatine. Maul lead gives 20% TM on first turn, in other words, 200 toward the 1000 needed for a turn in the game. I have a 267 speed Chirrut. Oponent has a 216 EP. If you do the TM math, Chirrut is farther over 1000 and should go first by rules. 200+216+216+216+216=1064 < 1068=267+267+267+267. But EP goes first. This nullifies the speed on Chirrut and does not allow me to put "As the Force Wills" first (by the way, AI should always lead with As the Force Wills in these dark days). I know how TM should work and it appears to not functioning correctly unless there has been a change in how it is calculated. Can't figure how to post pictures here to show the details.

That is not how TM works. You are using the old outdated method when turn meter was determined by ticks. It is now a continual fill rate.
EP has 20% TM filled already, and only needs 80% to be filled. 80/216 = 0.37037 turns
Chirrut needs to fill 100%. 100/267 = 0.37453 turns
Chirrut takes more turns to fill to 100% and thus WAI.


TLDR: To find EP starting speed, multiply by 1.25 NOT 1.2.
216*1.25 = 270, faster than your 267 Chirrut.

When did they change methods? The EA person I talked to last night explained exactly the way I did. @Huatimus

It's been changed more than a year. That EA person you talked to is obviously bad at his job and should feel bad.

Thanks @Huatimus I guess I just need more speed and tenacity.

NM.. I found out that Sith Assassin adds 12% TM for buffs
