Can't get more than 5 neutral races

Neutrals are no less xenophobic or war-mongering. They just can't send attacks at you.

Try the Star Trek Mod? You get the best of both worlds!

But once in a while they do expand. I have seen a major surrender to a neutral and then the neutral expanded rather well.

Sure! Wanna play by e-mail, once a day, no combat for the first 500 turns? (That's just getting started, after all. =)

No? :>

(I have a feeling my style of play may be a bit... er, different, than most others')
Umm... I do not think I have ever had a game Last 500 turns...

500 turns is a lot to ask for in a PBW game with no combat. Most combat occurs around 50 turns and up. Think about the math on this, a game that has a turn a day for 500 days without combat. That is like nearly 2 years. NO PBW game has ever Lasted that long that I am aware of. Most die off around six months or so.

I too would love to have a game with a bunch of neutral AI's and only a few Majors. Kinda like BOTF.

But like I said, I support small game companies when I can.

edit: and I want it fixed too. :> I didn't realize we were arguing. But I don't think neutrals are pointless, and from what I've heard they can be made fairly challenging with the right AI files.

Neutrals are very important to any game. I love neutral races. They add flavor to the game and give me aliens to conquer.

As for MM, they are working on SF at the moment and have not had a lot of time to work on a new patch for SEIV. I have heard that there will be one Last patch, and I hope that it will include a fix for several things.
