Why... why did I just win after one turn?

November 24, 2004 1:57 AM from

I started up a game, made my opening moves, clicked end turn, and then the game stops, and goes to the Military Conquest cutscene! I had somehow WON the game after ONE TURN?! For a total of.. 0 points? On a difficulty level of.. Anomalous!? What's going on here? Is this a well documented phenomenon, or what?

And my next game didn't seem to go so well either.. couldn't get past turn two, the clock on the turn button never finished. I'm going to try rebooting.

That seems to have done the trick, although playing on Huge is definitely going to take some getting used to.. I had to abandon a game I thought I had a chance in after I realized too far in that my starting position was untenable.

Still, what was up with that other game?

Ozar, are you using a custom map or custom planet, and are you using the latest version from Stardock Central?

Not a custom map, not a custom planet. I have no mods whatsoever. I'm playing the latest version of the base game, see for yourself, I submitted the game to the Metaverse.

It looks like Diomedea had one too...

Military Victory, 0 score, Difficulty Anoloulous & version 1.20...

So its not just you...

Is this one of those cases where the .ini file got corrupted? For example, maybe there were no enemies and hence the immediate military victory.

I'll need more information on this condition to give a definitive answer.

Ozar, you would have to e-mail me your data and mods folder (if you use mods) in order for me to be able to tell what's going on.
