I love the Battle of the Gods scenario, but it really cheeses me that you can't choose an ethical alignment. At the start of the game, you have all the techs, including all the Ethics/Good/Evil needed to make the choice, BUT you never get a chance to select which alignment you want. You can upgrade to Star Democracy straight away - you have all the government techs - but there is nothing you can do to be good, neutral or evil. This is a major handicap during the game, as not only do you miss out on the benefits and strategies of picking an alignment, it means NO-ONE likes you - you are neither good, evil or neutral, so in times of trouble you are on your own and if you pick a war with someone their buddies will back 'em up, but you have no-one in your corner.

I hope this is fixed in 1.7 or Twilight.

Still love all of GC though!
