I'm disappointed with Stardock it seems like we got shafted because Stardock wanted to release PM2008. It's been 7 weeks since launch and we're now just getting the first bug fix patch. If we had the bug fix patch (even if it just cleared some of the obvious holes/problems with the tech tree) a week afterwards I would have waited 2-3 months to see what came in the major patch as I know it'll be great and will add alot to the game. Stardock built it's reputation on great after l

The pirates event is completely broken , it shouldn't be in the game the AI cannot compete at all. In fact with all the mega events you would need to take action in the AI is completely overwhelmed and with surrenders on , will capitulate completely. I'm very disappointed Stardock haven't either added the option to disable certain events or spent more time with the AI so that they can cope. If they didn't cripple the AI they would perform what they were intended to. I

I've had time to play a few games and I do have some feedback. The new victory condition feels a bit weird , basically it just keeps you at war with whoever is close to achieving it before the turn counter goes. You can win with only one crystal captured (it make take 1000 turns though) I thought the idea was if that if you controlled all 6 then the timer would count down. The AI seems to be better at managing its planets but on one game I did find the Drengin filling entire pl

He wins!

Frogboy wins!

It sounds like you have a scenario set up in the game creation screen. You can only play the scenarios as terran.

The letzlandians often colonize other planets in thier system on my game. Makes sense to me Maybe they shouldnt be going after planets in other systems though.

These are some of my favourites in here. -Corruption Allegations- Your political opponents have brought corruption charges against you in the United Planets High Court. Unfortunately they have succeeded and you have been forced to hold an election, in which you lost. With the ruthless tyranny of the [WAR PARTY/ISOLATIONISTS] now in power, they have declared an Imperial Government be made. (Government change to Imperial. Normal election loss factors occur) - recurri

that sounds like artifacting from an overheated graphics card to me.

Actually just went and had a look at the 1.6 beta changelog. And the changes in there are more than I expected. Theres more to "sell" to us there than the performance gains.

No its not a feature. How many people are going to benfit from better performance on a game that already ran well on 3 year old computers? I was looking forward to some new features , I guess its just dissapointment really. I have come to expect so much from you guys I guess its just testament to the great job you're doing here.

it failed

To be honest the only consistant feature of my games is that the Drath Legion always fall first

I dont have a problem with the pirate mega event , what I do have a problem with is the AI's inability to deal with it. Pirate mega event = Win for player basically at the moment

I had to scrap a game due to that and it came just after I spent 1 and a half years trying to destroy the pirates.

I used paypal , recived my key via email and downloaded it and within 50 mins I was playing

Spy's need to be nerfed somewhat , I don't think the AI is clever enougth to use them to the extent we do. And having them use them to the extent we do would'nt be fun. I do like the Idea of a chance your spy can fail , along with a espionage tech tree that increases the chance of a successfull operation.

That worked , cheers Though the planet lights do look more like snow caps

Im using a Geforce 6800 (a sm3.0 capable card) with the 91.45 drivers and I too dont have any light's or indeed a darker side to a planet. Could this be related to running the game in windowed mode?

LOL at the war for oil nutcase's.

Selecting a fleet , and using the (D) hotkey to jump to Details and Clicking Upgrade results in a CTD. (Yes im lazy Perhaps the upgrade button/option should be disabled for fleets?

Well its your problem , they all appear under my ships.

For classes I use Earth Alliance names from B5 (and the models on metaverse) followed by a model number Eg Thunderbolt MKI (Replaces the defender) Medium , Large and Huge ships are indicidually named. Medium : City names Large : Country names Huge : Stuff like Mammoth , Colosuss , Behemoth
