First, let me say that I love this game! I'm currently playing a medium map at challenging difficulty and I think I'm on my way to winning my first game at this level. What a ride it has been! (Can't wait to bump all the AIs up a notch in intelligence...)
My question about propaganda is this: Why is it that after I set the propaganda slider, it does not stay locked at the % value I assign it? I searched through the propaganda threads and found one that suggested this might be a bug that was fixed as of 1.01B. I'm running 1.03 and I'm still seeing this happen. Is there something I'm missing about the way propaganda works?
I can understand it if the slider automatically lowers itself to the appropriate value to bring your morale up to 100%, to help you avoid overspending, but I'm pretty sure the planets for which I'm setting it are not at 100% morale and I still see the propaganda slider return to 0. Does it require the presence of certain improvements or something to maintain a consistent level?
