Hi all, I continue to have fun with this great game, have had little to no issues and just wanted to let you know of a very strange event. I was playing in a huge galaxy, tough, and the game was very advanced. The Terran-Altarian aliance was getting it´s but kicked by both the Drengin (mostly attacking me, the terrans) and the Torians making mince meat out of the Altarians. We were in opposite sides of the Galaxy, and though I could still hold my own, blessed military resource base, I coudn´t send my allies any help other than money (scarse) and techs.

So the spineless altarians decided to give it up, and gave their worlds to me.

Now, here comes the strange part. Some 30 turns later, I am about to exterminate the last remmants of the Drengin protectorate, when an "event" triggers. Apparently, the Altarians gave up their goodie goodie ways and became the real monster in the galaxy.

Of course, by this point, they no longer existed.
So, a bug right? nothing game wreaking or anything, the event is pretty funny in itself, just, well, weird.
