All Races al appear contact possible after getting Universal T - Before even meeting them and other problems

from GalCiv2 Forums

Is there a way to fix this without re-install ?  The other races all appear and I can communicate with them as soon as I have translator.  The first two game were not like this and I could not speak to them until discovered.  Also the AI overvalues terraforming tech (often trading too much for it)  Also, how do I preserve my ship designs and saves if I have to re-install ?  Also, Why do the ships in orbit defend 1 at a time and you can attack them with a fleet ( no challenge ).

1. This happens when you change the relations of the AIs before the game.  If set them to anything other than "unknown" you will be able to talk to them before discovering them, if you have the requisite technology.

2. Trading values have always been a bit screwy.

3. You wont have to re-install.  Just set relations back to unknown.

4. They need the Orbital Fleet Manager to defend as a fleet when orbiting a planet.

Certain techs are valued very highly by the AI. Mostly weapons, which was changed a long time ago to prevent human players from just buying good weapon techs. You'll notice sometimes the AI will not just say NO but will instaed say something like "it toook a lot of work to get this tech". Then you know you're going to pay a lotr for it.

For some reason asteroid mining techs are way too expensive to trade for. The AI definitely considers them more important than they are; they just don't take that long to research. But unlike some other techs, the AI will actually pay you a lot for them too.
