Has there been any update on this ,, I see that 1.08 will be made official next week but this simple bug is still at large from the original!!!

<t> This bug has been a problem since at least the first retail version of the expansion. I have reported this bug before but as yet it has not been fixed. At present it is possible to end a war even if you are losing it badly. If an empire declares war upon you your diplomats (assuming you have ...

No No It pops up as an auto diplomacy message... from your side!!

It is now possible to end wars via a bug. If you are at war with an empire you will sometimes be asked to cancel your treaty with them (despite having no treaty as you are at war). If you select yes the the war between you is ended.
oops it seems war is set as a treaty.

Have any 4x's ever attempted ground combat in a decent way. SEV tried but it was simply god awful.
I must admit I am in two minds when people suggest ground combat for DW as I think ground combat is simply not neccesary as it would have to be on a grand scale.

Well, for the record:<br/>

1. Distant Worlds (suggestive helper AI, living economy and galaxy, great enemy AI, Pirates done very well, galaxy feels very old and good story)<br/>
2. Master of Orion 2 (almost EVERYTHING was ...

This is the same in 1.0.6 and mainly what I was talking about. AI explorers will never explore anomalies outisde of a system and sometimes I swear the only reason they find in system anomalies is due to a chance encounter when exploring the system.

In addition I find SOTS to be a great game, I sometimes wish more games had such attention to combat mechanics.

<r> Birth of the federation I had totally forgot what an amzing game that really was. Just so you know they are releasing an official sequel to the game which is in alpha at the moment.<br/>

<t> God I remember the speed was awful, I would normally have to flip to a good few news articles to wait it out in between turns towards the end game.<br/>
I also found this game to be micromanagement hell with retrofitting being an absolute pain. In addition I found the Ai to be really dumb, for ...

<t> I beleive that Galactic Civilisations 2 and Space empires V are some of the best modern 4X games in existence at the moment. However I was pleasantly surprised to find that distant worlds easily outstrips SEV in concept and in practice. In fact I find it hard to find a clear winner when ...

I suppose what I am worried about is that AI opponents won't be able to discover and harness the power of these anomalies and thus fall behind the player who can personally send explorers.

I have noticed that AI explorers do not seem able to investigate secret locations. For instance when pirate factions sell you secret locations the AI never seems to attempt to explore those areas.
Has anyone else seen this problem?
