Terrans & Alterians don't build warships

I'm playing ToA v2.00.028, Gigantic Universe, Suicidal Level, 9 opponents, non-randomized intelligence as the Drath.  It's around year 2229, and I noticed that the Terrans and Alterians have lots of planets, but no warships.  To be more precise Alterians have none, Terrans have a few, but with no weapons.  They have weapon technologies.  The remaining 7 are being standardly warlike.  I attacked the Terrans, conquered 2 planets, and set back and waited. Still no warships.

This has been a major bug since the release of ToA.  I haven't yet played 2.0, really I quit playing the game after this became an issue, but I encountered it in earlier releases.  I can't believe they still haven't done anything about this.  I made a thread about this before, and no one from Stardock replied.  I have never seen them even mention this as an issue, so I assume they have no idea that these two civilizations are crippled in this way.

Ive run into issues like this with custom major races also ,but I found by adjusting thier settings and switching around thier abilities they go from rolling over and surrendering to armed constructors to building fleets and giving a account of thier selves. One race I fixed went from weak loser to major galactic force in one game. So, dont give up on the game yet, try building a few major races and see how they work as galactic replacements.

hum the terrans in my game were late with warships but they are actually trying to build more and more (it's been several month that they are at war with the korath) overall they are weak in this game... which doesn't help (immense/ abundant / very slow tech)

i have found that there just don't research the technology for weapons. in my last game, i give both of them space weapons, and they build massive fleets of nothing but the most basic weapon that is unlocked. gets annoying after a while.

Hello, in ToA 2.02 I have a similar bug in my current game, I may go back to other saved games to see if it has happened before.

Playing on difficulty Masochistic, initially in the game I found it not too difficult, then the game got ridiculously easy, I am so far ahead of the remaining civ's I began to wonder if something weird was going on.  The 3 remainging civ's are the Torian, Iconian, and Dengin.

The Torian have not built any planet improvements AT ALL on 50% of their planets (20 planets), they have build a few improvements (but are no longer building anything, and most build spaces are empty) on about 25% of their planets (10 planets), and on 25% of their planets they have built them up completely, but often never upgrade many of those improvements (10 planets).

The Iconian have not built any planet improvements AT ALL on about 38% of their planets (6 planets), they have built a few improvements (but are no longer building anything, and most build spaces are empty) on about 31% of their planets (5 planets), and on 31% of their planets they have built them up completely, but often never upgrade many of those improvements (5 planets).

The Dengin have built planetary improvements on all of their planets to the fullest extent, although I did notice that they hardly have upgraded ANY of their improvements, and seem to still be using the same improvements that they built in the very beginning of the game.

The remaining 3 civs are building ships like crazy, but for all the hype StarDock is giving the 'Intelligent AI', all that intelligence is pretty wasted when the AI does things like this.

Since a huge majority of planets dont even have a starport (since they dont build anything at all and just sit there, they have a very large shortage of ships.

I will have to go back and check to see if the other civ's in the game did these same things.

In my game, the Terrans have a lot of planets, yet all they have for ships is a single Defender in orbit for each planet, but none of them have any weapons, just high sheilds against beam weapons and nothing else.

 

The Sol star system is under siege, because the Terrans peaceful took over the entire Dominon Of Krox, and now had to deal with the remains of the Krox fleet, including battleships, becoming pirates and attcking Earth and other Terran worlds
