Jeltz:

Great idea! That would be a fun scenario. I've read a few hints on this board that a scenario editor may be in the works. Here's hoping that such a thing would have a good way to specifically set starting techs to make a "4m high-tech colonists vs. the universe" challenge possible.

Not, since the early Versions/patches. Haven't been able to trace the problem in mods (devnull etc) which causes access errors.

only once, just to see what happens. i love 4X games (and have played them since the dawn of the pc age) but they all tend to suffer from the problem of what to do when there is simply no way for the player to loose but the player must continue to play for hours to finish it anyway. one of them moo2? had it set up that the computer players would come to you asking to yield when they were overwhelmed.

With "Peace for 1 year" on, you just have to crush the truly nasty aliens. You can keep your partnerships with the friendlies, and have help finishing the game.
With an AI to hunt down the Last remnants of an enemy for you, the endgame cleanup operation becomes much quicker and easier.
