Re: Hard time finishing the game

Do i have to finish the missions of all the races to win? No, you can also use one of the following approaches: 1. Kill every other empire 2. Be allied with every existing empire In both cases victory is effective within the next 2 turns but not the same turn you produced either state. Using the mi...

[1.0.0.94] Refitted troop trans cannot colonize

In one game I refitted one of my troop transports to a colony ship. While refitting worked, the colony ship was not able to colonize a planet although colonization capsules were aboard (and the command was active). The fleet accepted the colonize command but the next turn the colonists were still ab...

[1.0.0.94] ISN sometimes misses reports

I had a game where there were three events usually reported by ISN occuring in the same turn: 1. End of a love potion's effect 2. New alliance formed 3. New war declared ISN just reported the love potion ending but missed the alliance and the war. As I had games where multiple reports where shown in...

Re: Make accepting surrender a choice

If you play in mission mode I would think the reason you dont get a choice is because they are one of the two primary races in the game. I cannot confirm or decline this because it was the first time another empire surrendered to me. When they surrender it means they give up their empire to you, wh...

Re: Make accepting surrender a choice

I don't quite understand what you mean here. Could you be more specific ? I know that when I demand an enemies surrender they do not always just happily accept. I played a game where at some point an AI empire (Varaians in this case) called me via diplo channel to surrender. I had no choice on this...

Re: [1.0.0.94] Varaians surrender does not end game

Did you complete all the quest steps? It only ends if the mission is completed otherwise you can destroy the Varaians and still continue. No, I didn't. But I'm pretty sure I played a game before where I left out the construction of a ship with Eremai device and won the game with extinction of the V...

Re: [1.0.0.94] Missiles get stuck if target changes too ofte

Missiles expire once their fuel runs out. When you say stuck you mean they don't pick a new target? This is currently their designed behaviour. When I say stuck I mean they don't move a single bit anymore. The picking of a new target works fine if the designated first target is destroyed and the ne...

Please add cross alliances

Alliances - a cool feature implemented in most 4X games but unfinished in most cases from my point of view. What I mean is this: Empire A forms an alliance with empires B. Then it forms an alliance with empire C. After a while, B and C argue and go to war, forcing empire A to break at least one alli...

Make accepting surrender a choice

Currently (1.0.0.94), when an AI empire surrenders this is accepted automatically. I think it should be a choice as begging for mercy and receiving gifts are choices too.

[1.0.0.94] Active effect not shown in ship scan

When a ship is hit by a level 5 or higher weapon, the weapon's special effect is released on that ship (if the hit penetrates the shields). While there is a beautiful animation to be seen at this ship on combat map there is no information about this effect in the ship scan. I first wanted to make th...

[1.0.0.94] Genozide without diplomatic impact?

When I read the description of Biotoxines it says "Their use has been outlawed by every civilized planet." So I imagine using this technology would result in damaging reputation galaxy wide - maybe with exception of Tantiks and Varaians. As there is no weapon I can build with this (like a ...

[1.0.0.94] Eliminated empires are still enemies

After an empire is eliminated it remains on the list of other empires' enemies. Example: AI-Barbeck and AI-Tantik are enemies (which from I figured out means they are at war with each other). AI-Tantik is eliminated. When I now check the empire report of AI-Barbeck, the enemies section still lists T...

[1.0.0.94] Missiles get stuck if target changes too often

In my last games I tried to make more use of missiles which turned out to be quite effective against large groups of small enemy ships :twisted: Unfortunately, missiles sometimes get stuck if their target changes.

I played a game in normal mode with missions enabled where I was in war with the Varaians. While bombarding their last and home world, they suddenly surrendered to me.

I have an update for other players with the same problem: You can save a lot of time with being 1-more-turn-patience. What I mean with this is the following: 1) Move fleets to a combat sector on galaxy map. 2) DO NOT activate the sector, but use the "orbit" command to move fleets within th...
