What happens after victory?

[Phoenix-D]

Well, in single player you can continue on even after the victory; I imagine it would be the same multiplayer.

Nope, you can't continue. Well you can keep playing turns, but some weird stuff doesn't work. Construction queues don't work. Repairs don't happen. Can't remember if combat can occur or nto. It's been a while since I tried it.

Ok, thanx. Now I know what I need to know

[Phoenix-D]

Wa? How is this any different than starting a game with only one player, no AIs? Everything works fine there. Odd.

Simultaneous and sequential are not the same thing.

[Phoenix-D]

This is IN simultanious, Fyron.

Phoenix, I belive the difference is that fact that you are doing a game with no victory conditions. In a multiplayer simultaneous game with no victory conditions if you exterminate all of the other players I believe you CAN continue the game by yourself with no problems. Everything will work fine. Of course it will be a little lonely.

But in a game with victory conditions, once they are met it appears some of the game functions simply cease to operate. The reason for this I believe is the game allows you "one more turn" so you can see all the scores and stuff and see who won. You can play beyond that point, but it doesn't allow you to do much. In a LMS game you know who won so the game code doesn't have to change anything.
