neither of us have warp drives yet, therefor no spheres of influence. I do understand what you are saying though, and it's probably the cause. I'll just lets the game progress more and see the outcome.

Thanks

<t> I started a game on a large map with 30 civs, and it started me with a civ in the same system as me. Which is cool, but once I got everything going, and built my first constructor, I realized I couldn't build. Now I've played this game a lot, and know that I can build in a system even if there ...

Not to shabby, like a few of 'em.

<t> Lol, let me make this simple for everyone. We're talking about AI in this topic, now is it better to have 1g or 3g of memory with lots of AIs? Now, will the game run properly with 1g of memory on a 1400 star map? or will it crash? will the game run with a lower end CPU on a 1400 star map? or ...

<t> Didn't read any of that gibberish, I'm not here to argue with a moron. I said SSD drives can be slow, you idiot... what do we live in a time where it's impossible for hard drives to run slow? congratulations, you got the fastest hard drive ever built. Now do me a favor you moron, and stop ...

<t> Like I said, memory is the most important thing on this game... I never said nothing beyond that, and what I stated is fact. Now, have you guys noticed a flicker when you go into the research screen? When this happens save the game and restart it. SSD hard drives can still be slow... You see how ...

Yeah, I'm not sure, I haven't tested that. The programmer might of coded it differently while reading from a themes folder... not sure, test it.

Doesn't change the fact that memory is the most important thing for this game. Anyway, perhaps your problem is with the hard drive, faster one perhaps?

<t> Memory is the most important thing in the game.. the more the better. As feygan said, the independent AI's will start new empires, so imo, it's best to run with the default number of empires and let independents rise... When you're setting up a game it says to run a game using a thousand or ...

what's the point as running without a theme if you're going to mod your game? there is no point, the game even starts up as the theme you last chose, and to be honest that might be your problem right there to why the game don't catch the extra modded ships.

Download 1.04 under 1.05.

I like these, but I wouldn't use 'em unless they're used in Galaxy view... It would be nice if you can make these recognizable zoomed out. See these in Galaxy view and while zooming in they'd switch to the Vanilla symbols, that would be nice...
