Wikipedia is where you should get your amusement, not your facts.

Simply eliminate the "someone must survive" rule. This rule seems very gamey and counter intuitive to me. I would think it would be better to remove it. If both your ships destroy each other in one shot, oops, oh well, better invest more in defenses next time. You both died. Suck it up and move on. If the defenses aren't an adequate protection, then I think weapons are proportionally too powerful.

Nit picks: (1) How does America conquer the entire earth when the American Military can't even conquer a single backwater Middle East Country? (2) Given that Bush has only daughters, it is extremely unlikely for him to have descendents bearing the Bush surname. (3) How do unarmed ships 'gua

I am running GalCiv2 Gold, DarkAvatar 1.50x3. Going through the dreadlords campaign, I crash out when trying to start the Ixith mission *every time*. This is extremely repeatable and extremely annoying. Is there some update or something to fix a corrupted campaign file I need to do? The first thing I did when I installed the game was do the updates from Stardock...
