1.5 Diplomacy / Trade Agreement Screen issue
trade item categories disappearing as game progresses
GalCiv3 Forums
Background: Insane Map size / "Normal" difficulty / 6 Major Races + my Custom (Terran) race / occasional minors.
By turn 614, already 3 of 5 minor races no longer show their Colonies on the Trade Screen. [Trade items are: Credits, Treaties, Offers, Strategic Resources, Trade Resources, Techs, Ships, Starbases, Colonies.] These minors do have colonies/planets on the map, at least one or two, but nothing shows on the screen past the Ships list.
By turn 634, my Custom race has defeated the Drengin, who gave their balance of planets, ships, etc. to the Yor. On the Trade screen, the Yor now only show the Credits item, and nothing below that. [I have noted that when scrolling these lists, the Credits section remains while everything scrolls up and out of sight.] As well, my race now only shows Credits when on the screen with each of the minors. Yet with the Yor and other Major races, everything shows as normal. Also, only 2 minor races show they have colonies.
By turn 640, my Custom race can no longer trade because all I show are Credits on the Trade screen with any Major or Minor race. I have 1000+ ships, 86+ starbases, and 104 colonies on the map. The Yor also only show Credits. The remaining Majors -- Altarian, Iridium, and Iconian -- all have normal Trade lists with all items showing. New minors which have popped up show no colonies as well, but everything else is there for them. Only 2 Minors remain with listed colonies.
Has anyone else experienced this? Is there any way to refresh the trade items, or is this game effectively over? Will this keep happening, or is this a one-game anomaly? Why play if I put in 50 hours and end up with this scenario again? Anyone care to comment?
By the way, I have 12 GB or system Ram and the video card is a GeForce CTX970 w/ 4 GB ram.
