Very nice as always. Is there consideration for adding a no nukes option ? Lategame could be more fun if instant death wouldn't be raining from above if the cold war turns hot

Edit: Looks like cannot create a new planet as the game crashes after the colonization phase.

Hey, I got a save that you could potentially look at. The AI was steadily wearing me down in the northeast, but for some reason it broken its Protectorate over a Farmers regime that subsequently swamped through a large portion of its land behind it. Seems kind of weird to do that.

Any chance you were rolling a Colossus Planet with 25th Anniv Mayhem Option on?

Spot on. Also had around 5-6 more options enabled. After removing those I was able to create a new game with 25th Anniv on Colossus. I don't know if its intended but couldn't roll alien life during creation although spiders were in game. Given the lack of alien life at least at the creation, maybe hostile alien option causes crash ?

bump! new version.
colossus with mayhem mode bug still not fixed though. working on it.

Game is in a really good state imo i really enjoy playing it.

I just have 2 complaints.

First is turn times, which i mean you can ignore. This is will probably always be a complaint but i doubt you can do much more about it at this point.

However my second complaint is i feel more realistic. It just feels like the only option with major AIs is conflict now. From the moment you make contact with them (physical connection on the map) its just a matter of time before they invade you. And most of the time they just do it completely irrationally (thats my biggest issue). Like this one major is at war with another major, they are struggling with neither side prevailing on a 100 hexes frontline. And then one of these majors makes a contact with me and then 10 turns later invades me. Why? It has no hope of capturing any of my critical assets. Its connection to me is basically a narrow snake corridor. Its completely pointless to declare war on me. All it does is drain resources it should pour into fighting its immediate neighbor.

[Vic]

It really depends on the Culture of the Major in question. There are those, notably the Non-Republican ones, especially the Militarist ones that can be non-sensical and over aggressive for a civilized player like you and me. Also your difficulty level might play a role?

bump! new open beta version

Where can I find 1.31e?

This patch can be manually installed only over the official v1.31e or any higher version of course. Make sure you have the v1.31e or higher before applying the patch below.

[Vic]

1.31e is the latest CORE GAME update. So if you press "update" in the game launcher it should update it to that version.

best wishes,
Vic
