I think we're all still missing the point. In the absence of random events, the galaxy should be somewhat predictable. If not, all strategy is useless and we will all surcome to unpredictability. Cited in this thread, we have two examples, one of an influence blowout, the other income; both appear related. I am not sure if developers read this thread, because we certainly remain unacknowledged, as does my email submission. I appreciate their business, but I too am busy and will

While all of the responses here are well intended, for which I thank everyone, I think you may be missing the point of the scale of the increase. There are three races present in a tiny universe - Yor, Drath and myself (terran). The influence scores are roughly 600, 600 and 1500 respectively. So I was leading quite significantly. In a single turn the Drath went from ~600 to over 3800 influence. Myself and Yor maintained our positions. This is captured quite nicely in the screenshot and
All good comments and questions, thanks. I was playing a tiny map game with only the Yor and Drath present and a single minor race. The influence gain occurred with the Drath who have only a single planet. I checked the event log and can not find anything which may have caused this. I have also noticed with TA a few other anomalies which may be as a result of my lack of understanding. In this same game (captured in the first save game I emailed in) my income skyrocketed to a le
This bug report relates to Twilight of the Arnor. This was an annoying bug. In the passing of a single turn one of my opponents gained over 3000 influence, essentially going from lowest to highest in the blink of an eye. I have emailed a screenshot of the timeline graph and a before and after save game, though I am not sure of the steps required to transition from the first save to this crazy outcome. Am I missing something; is such a huge instantaneous influence gain possible
Influence started climbing as I played a few turns, but it never returned to its previous high of 74%.
Yes I had blind exploration ticked. No matter, I will ignore this in future.
Thanks. I forgot to mention I was playing Twilight of the Arnor. But as long as I know it's a feature, I will never again leave my game within a hair's breadth of an influence victory. The dread lords had just arrived too, so I am doomed without my influence win.
I would really appreciate some help with this issue...is it known or not? Last night I saved my game, just as I was on the precipice of an influence victory - 74% according to the victory screen. When I loaded my game this morning, my influence was 67% - with other circumstances in my galaxy, victory had been snatched from my hands. I seem to recall poor experiences from reloading save games dating back to the original galciv. Is this still a problem?
If you go to the trade screen, you can conveniently see the location of all planets whether you have explored them or not. Is this intended?
Sorry - rereading my message, it is a little ambiguous. My concern is in actually locating my already assigned rally points. How do I know to where a planet is sending my ships by default without having to search around in every system for a rally point icon?
Hi there. Not sure if I am going mad, or if I have a legitimate concern, but when I assign a rally point for my newly created ships, how do I easily see where they are going? At the moment it seems that I am stuck with not knowing where my assigned rally point is. Your help would be appreciated.
