worked perfectly :-P now I can get back to playing one of the best 4x games on the market, thanks!

... until recently, I was playing this, same system, far as I know same everything... no idea what I changed, but very recently, it's started quitting when I've tried starting a new game... (I've also used same settings in new game mode and they've worked... they're a bit slow, but that's to be expected since I'm using sub-par system) any help would be appreciated, thanks D

.... usually they spread really quickly early, then stay in a nice little shell for a while as they build up, then start expanding again on the gigantic maps that I've played.. I have noticed unless you crush then really early (when they're still weak due to lack of... well, anything) you're in for a long fight... I usually play on normal on gigantic maps... so I usually get killed by those stupid bugs :-P
