What's the connection between race starting position and he "colony bug"?
Is it about limited choice of directions to explore outer space?

We never discovered the reason! It's somewhat weird. I saw this problem in random maps too.
Also, don't know why, but some races has less problems than others.

'Colony Bug'?

Yep, it was described many times.
Example, a Rock based race that research the Gas Colonization tech.
The problem happen, when although could have many Gas planets available to colonize, the AI continue building only Rock Colony Ships.
Into a galaxy like I'm using (not so big), could be that all the rock available planets are already colonized, but still the AI continue building Rock Colony Ships!
Usually it's fixed when the Create Planet's ships come.

Think I have used more time modding AI races than playing SE4!

Klingon vs Toron.

The Toron won by points at the turn 500.

Think it was the most boring game of this contest (for now, of course!).
During many turns both races had a Military Alliance. At some point the war erupted, but the battles were not very common.

Earth Alliance vs CueCappa.

The Earth Alliance won at the turn 350.
During some time the game seemed balanced, but around the turn 250 was obvious that the EA had the advantage.

Fazrah vs Aquilaeian

The Aquilaeian won at the turn 360.
The game was more or less balanced until the turn 200, but around the turn 250 it was pretty clear that the Aquilaeian would win.
