New minor planets appear with WAY too many techs

December 31, 2007 4:25 PM from

I was about mid-game when a new minor race (the Vegans) entered the galaxy and won a tech victory in about 10 turns. How not fun is that? If I had been going for a tech victory (luckily I wasn't) that would have totally sucked.

Additionally, they had technology way beyond what they should have - Blackhole weapons, etc. It was to my advantage because I traded them for it then invaded their planet - but they shouldn't have had it in the first place.

Maybe "Turn off Major Events" should be renamed "Turn on Fun".

I have noticed this myself. It seems any new minor races acquire all the techs of the most advanced civ (aka ME). To this end, I routinely park a few troop transports around the galaxy with 30+ speed to quickly conquer any emerging civ.

i think this is also a bug as this has happened to me when there was no way for anyone to have black hole weapons. My best ships had Mass drivers 3.
