Hello,
I was playing my first metaverse game. I started it yesterday, played for a while and saved it. I resumed today and played for a while before the problem came up.
The Terrans were about to invade the planet of a minor race. I wanted to beat them to it, so I invaded. When I did, the program shut down.
Some things that may be of interest:
The planet had been mine until a few turns before. It had ceded to the league of indendent planets (or whatever they are called) a few turns before I invaded.
There were some planets that had ceded to me earlier in the game from the Terrans. I don't know if this was one of those planets.
I was not currently at war with the race or any other race.
I did not include any ships with offensive or defensive capabilities as the planet did not show any ships present.
There were 3 other major races, 2 minor races, and pirates for the second time.
Also, apparently the autosave feature does not work with Metaverse as I lost all of my game from today.
Here is the debug file:
