Not just the Iridium.  I wasn't able to declare war on the Drengin.  It seems to be random races.

It is a secret galactic event that prevents wars for an unspecified length of time. All you can do is wait for the secret galactic event that counteracts this mysterious occurrence.

Or, who knows, maybe it's a bug? :)

I could declare war on any of the other races, just not the Drengin (after waiting 100 turns to be sure).

I believe there has been similar reports, but I've still made a note for the devs about it.  Thanks.

just an update tried to declare war with Yor definitely over a 100 turns and still tells me I can't, and iridium as well not sure for how many turns. fighting Kryn just fine though. Also is it my imagination or when I highlight a ship in a stack and then move is it the unhighlighted ship that moves???

That kind of unintuitive action trips me up every time, too.

Yes it is, and I mess it up about 90% of the time.  Guess I am easy to fool!

:D

How is this issue looking with, not being able to declare war, since the Beta 5 update?

Using the 5.2 opt-in, 354 turns in. Can't declare on any of the 8 races (4 major, 4 minor).

is this a brand new game or a continuation?  That might make a difference.

==========

Just started out a brand new game and haven't run into enough races to comment on this yet.  Though I now notice the Time Out limit is now 50 turns instead of 100.

It was a game started in 5.1. Not sure if I could declare with the 5.1 as the war freeze out was still up.

The save games from previous builds are often unplayable with the new build

I'm having the same problems as well...

 

And not a continuation of an .81 beta save, but two times now I started a new game with a custom race....well into the 300/400 turns region...and I'm simply unable to declare war on anyone??

 

Does this perhaps have something to do with being UP chairman??

Is this issue still present in the latest Beta 6 Opt-In patch?
