Hello everyone,
since this is my fist post here, please let me start saying that I love this game - Thank You !
Now to the main reason I post. I just played a game as the Drath (1.80f/0.92b.004), huge map, maximum no of enemies. Mainly just waltzing through the tech tree to satisfy my curiosity I decided to go for a tech victory. Turned out to be very easy not only due to the difficulty level , but also dur to the combination of (creativity + drath creativity tech). The last 2 techs for the victory I got in roughly 6-7 turns, since creativity activated both times. Only, after I got Technology Victory researched via creat., I did not win. In my victory conditions it mentioned that tech victory condition is set to off. Since I never touched victory conditions in TA, and also won this way before, I'm sure it was activated at the start of the game. Apart from that I definetly suggest deactivating the creativity speed-up for the last few techs in the tech-win branch (Deeper Knowledge onward ?), since it feels very cheesy to develop 60 turns of tech in ca. 5-7 turns, and then win. Savegame exists, I'd be happy to send it.
Cheers,
GroWi
