Sir "The dead are returning"

In my latest game I had a strange bug, after saving and reloading everything went back to normal. But while it lasted this happened.


A presidents diary:

I was looking forward for a nice day at the office. My defense secetary showed me the latest results of our succesful invasion of the Drengin homeworld and already the ambassador was showing up to pay "war expenses" to the Terran Federation.
Two hours later I took a look at the latest statistics to see how many happy people were living now under the human rule.
Five minutes later I was calling my sectary: "James the numbers have to be wrong, last month there were only living 20B in the whole federation with 5B on earth. This month you are reeporting 250B and 85 B here on earth.

Sir the numbers are correct it seems after the Drengin war suddenly huge numbers of tax payers showed up. By the way Sir people are complaining that they have to share their bed with 15 other guys each, though you are not quite popular right now (All the Terran planets had 1 morale") We have to do something!) On the good side we outnumber now the pouplation of all the other aliens combined at a 2:1 margin.

Afterwards things got ugly. Colony ships for hundreds of billions were build and the people were left on small planets all over the gallaxy and their colonies afterwards destroyed. (Don´t ask me how many people I had to kill to get reelected the next time)

But in the end it didn´t work.Killing hundreds of billions of people didn´t even have a lasting impact on the people living on my worlds.

Next month report: 350 B, the month after 400 B. People were swearing that their granddad, farther, mother brothers were returning from the dead and claiming living space in their houses.

It seemed all the people who ever lived returned to live under my rule. The alien population not even moved from the base line in the staistic anymore. Going to my office in the morning and finding the former long dead human predindents in my office convinced me to resign and doing it the hard way I took the decission to reboot the universe.

So, did Al Capone come back to set up an interplanetary anti-matter smuggling operation?

Who knows if Im had played longer perhaps my unhappy worlds would have joined the I-league, ähhh the "mob". ;)
Un fortunatly there hasn´t been a "naked god " around to adjust to save the day...

Now that would be a truly screwed up event. I just have visions of ... the end of The Naked God. :)

Have you considered posting the population problem to the bug thread?

I don´t think it is a wide spread problem because it only happened to me once and it isn´t really repeatable, saving and reloading brought the things back to "normal" and it seems nobdody else reported something similar. (Perhaps the colony ships / constuctor endless building bug reported by some people)

Actually I am always behind in the pop growth. Seeing my pop stat taking of like a rocket virtually (/ 90° take off)) to hundreds of billions is quite nice in the beginning... I was already planning to submit a huge win to the metaverse.... ;p
