Won't show up for me either. Also one of the trade goods can be repeatedly built without end.(+1 speed if i remember correctly)

The Super manipulator works well in this situation. If you convince one to attack the Altarians, then everyone else who is working with them will jump on them, then you take one of the other races that hopped in to defend the altarians, and you have them attack the altarians, then everyone jumps on them.

Trigger happy republicans? OMG do you drink the kool-aid or do you bath in it? Just cuz Jon Stewart plays at being a reporter, doesn't mean he is one people. Somalia? Bosnia? Serbia? Asprin factories? any of those ring a bell? Forget about or yearly skirmish under the clinton regime against something?

These ships attacked not only my combat vessels, but also my colony ships, starbases, trade ships, and 7 of my planets deep inside my empire. They have easily taken over the map, but I am just going to weather the storm and build my planets up while they roam about. It's not like anyone can make a move against me as it stands.

I have the Peacekeeper's event, and now all over the map there are swarms of Peacekeeper fleets that are insanely strong and wiping out everything on the map. Thankfully they are just battleships and 0 troop transports, cuz the way they tore through my fleet, the korath, the drengin, the terrans, etc. in only 2 or 3 turns makes me think their ground forces would slaughter us wholesale as well.
