glvcaa, are you actually claiming the Germans won the Battle of Britian?

I don't think it would have been possible because I've studied it in detail and decided it was a fantasy.

I've no particular axe to grid. If the evidence pointed to it being possible I'd go with that.

But it doesn't.

<r> There was an interesting debate at the RUSI a few years back on the Royal Navy and the Battle of Britain.

They will only trade techs now if you have a very good relationship with then, such as a mutual defence pact.

Good news indeed!

<t> This is a quirk/feature of the game since its original release - you can steal a ship which is being repaired by having more warships nearby when it is finally repaired (it will automatically become yours), and you can destroy a neutral ship which is being repaired without any diplomatic consequ...

Excellent idea.

Thanks Eric! Downloaded, installed and a new session of galactic conquest on the way!

<t> 1. Quality is quality, it's not race specific. The expansion planner will now show potential desert colonies you couldn't colonise before but can do with the acquired colony ship only. <br/> 2. Yup, it's fuel and I think it's meant to be a barrel of fuel. (Good to know hydrogen comes in barrels!...

<t> Caslon is a fuel so you won't need it to build a colony ship - but you will to make it go anywhere once built.<br/> <br/> The expansion planner is the place to go to see if you are short of resources which can cause a build to stall. Look at the 'your demand' column and see what you are short of...

I've often noticed odd things happen in Diplomacy immediately after applying a patch, such as friendly empires declaring war on my own (with a noble reputation), so I'm not surprised. You could use the editor and restore your reputation I believe.

Useful. I usually play with research costs on 800 and have only seen the Shakturi once.

No problem. Better right than early.

Thanks!

I've come across three as well. 15x15 map with 1,400 stars.

I think Jim D. is right as well.
