Updated to 1.31 and started a game as the Korx, I was moving right along and noticed my econ was dipping, Checked my domestic tab to find all but 2 of my trade routes had vanished. The UP had voted to limit evil empires to 2 routes. I had not picked an alignment yet so I checked the tab and the slider was all the way to the right (evil) but the text said no alignment, leaning evil. As a test I started another game as the Altarians and their slider was all the way left but the text read no alignment, leaning good. I never had it handicap me before I picked and alignment under 1.2 and 1.30
Also since I still have the 1.2 download can I just switch back to it until all the 1.30,1.31 bugs are fixed. 1.2 ran well for me except the AI was clueless.
