[quote]So what does crtl-n actually do?[/quote] After you start a game, at any point you can type cntl-N, even later in the game. Immediately, the game restarts from the beginning using the same setup you configured in at the start, but with a new random star-map. Everything you did before hitting cntl-N is gone and the game starts at the beginning. The way I use it is that I start up the game, choose the party and type of game I want, and then take a look at the star map without doi

[quote]Then if the planet is still unsuitable, just eliminate that worthless planet.[/quote] I tried to launch a colony ship without any people and found it impossible. So in my last game, I was launching colony ships with a population of 1,000,000 people. But when they land on a quality 1 planet for example (and after I maybe get an event), I couldn't find any way to "disband" the new colony. How do I do that? ~SDC~

[quote]I've never fully understodo the crtl-n strategy, is that not cheating?[/quote] In my way of thinking, a walkthrough is cheating, passing on different star maps until you find an interesting one is just being "selective" LOL ~SDC~

[quote]a no got beaten to most planets no [/quote] I think next time you should Ctrl-N until you have at least the nearby star cluster in addition to the quality 20 Earth. Otherwise, one risks sitting on the quality 20 Earth, but with no colonies! :notsure: ~SDC~

Also, in my game, to fuel my technology trading, I used a technologist party, + luck + max tech + creativity + diplomacy. Only way I could get techs fast enough (even when researching into branches the computer opponents aren't interested in) for them to be worth something in trade. ~SDC~

[quote]was feeling low after getting destroyed in a maso game [/quote] Admiral Spellforce sir! A couple questions on your game: (1) Did you Ctrl-N until you had (a) a quality 20 Earth, (b) 1-2 quality 15 or better planets in the Sol system and (c) a nice nearby star cluster (assuming abundant and not rare) (2) Did you colonize fast enough, even so far as to go into debt? (Did you colonize a minimum of 6-7 star systems?) (3) Did you research only uniq

[quote]Trying my first game set on normal-- money is good, but know one likes me except the nuetrals and the minors. Perhaps I don't quite understand the minor races yet, but they seem to have bounty of stuff to give me (shrug). [/quote] Hello Senator Kazzryl! My technique for which works beautifully for all levels up to and including Crippling (at least with tiny galaxy) is to: (1) colonize fast (2) research technologies not interesting for the opponents

[quote]Slothrop: zip the save file and folder and attach it in an e-mail to [email protected] [/quote] Sigh. The inconstancy of bugs :notsure: I triggered this one repeatedly last night, and then when I decided to try it again just now before sending the save file+folder today, it's gone! :notsure: ~SDC~

CariElf- I have a save file that can reproduce a game hang unrelated to the aforementioned UP issue. I could install SmartException, but it is unlikely to show anything since the game hangs instead of crashing. Where should I send the save file/folder? ~SDC~
