This is galactically insane! From a game where my Terran Alliance population was 73% of the galaxy and winning in almost every area, Stardock's ruthless developing team have conspired to destroy me on a personal level.
How can this be happening? Here's how:
1 An event strengthens native culture! Once an ocean of blue color, my area turned into teeny, disjointed blobs - everyone else's area grew enormous. Mining bases abandoned me in droves. Soon, the 2nd and 3rd custom races conquer the minor races and magically catch up with me in population.
2 Assassination event! Now I am at war with my #1 trading partners the L'tici, a custom female race of fetish pornographers. In fact, all of their allies join into the clusterfrack. All my trade routes are gone, and soon all my economy starbases are ash. Welcome to red money.
3 Another event in the sequence of madness - Ultimate Robot Peacekeepers from the planet fubar appear to kack any ship outside their area of influence. Since the native culture event my area has become dramatically smaller. These immortal drones actually only attack my ships... and then they annihilate rest of my starbases!
I am now the 2nd most powerful at war with the 1st most powerful. I am allied with the 4th, another female fetish custom race. I have a technology edge, but I can't wage war because of those Peacekeepers.
How do I deal with this... and what devious disaster comes next?
