Hey guys,

I'm playing Gal Civ II DL (no expansions) as a custom race, and have been attacked by the Torians without provocation. My military score was lower than theirs and they attacked me thinking I guess, that I'd be an easy mark. However, to their surprise I've defeated them in almost every engagement, some rather large fleets I might add, and also taken 7 of their worlds while losing none of mine.

It seems however when I speak to their leader he will not acknowledge that they are losing. Instead his replies are either taunts such as "It doesn't take much to make you flinch" in the early part of the war or "Have you come to discuss terms of peace?" in the current phase of our war.

I have the opponets set to tough and all of them are "Intelligent". BTW my ships are more powerful than theirs. I've developed weapons along the beam line while they've developed along the Mass drive line of research. All my ships have armor defenses while their ships also have armor defenses. They have no counter so far to my weapons and yet their military still has a higher score than mine.

Not to mention that every other race has either developed "Armor" defenses or the only other defense option they've selected (my allies btw) are the terrans (shields). Can anybody tell me why the game is acting this way?

I figured that the Torians would adapt their defenses to counter my weapons but so far they have not. We've been a peacable spacefaring society thus far until provoked by them.
