EDIT: and just for fun, it tossed in about 7 colony ships, none of which I can use..

Do you think you could get the AI to do it again... about 17 more times. That's about what I need to get myself out of this pickle!

If you'll get rid of those annoying satelites, sure.

Not sure about what all it DOES do but I always turn off the "AI take charge" button the starting turn.

That is not possible as far as I am aware. More likely the AI did the entire turn, but happened to do some of the things you wanted it to do anyway.

It could save a lot of grief if this was the default option. Gotta love it in a big PBW game whn you miss one turn and the AI cancels all your treaties.

Or what happened to me in the "dreaded" Mediocrity game as two people I had treaties with dropped from the game and both times, the treaty was dropped. Sure ruins a game!

All my ships with orders went exactly where I told them to. Now, I can see the AI doing that with one set, but all of them? It was only the ones without current orders that got moved.

I don't know. All I can tell you is what I know, and from what I know about how the game works it's not possible for the AI to take partial control of your turn, unless you have turned on the AI minister for those things. It's entirely possible the AI decided to send the ships to the same places you did. Did these ships have orders left form the turn before maybe? In that case they would have simply continued doing what you told them too.

It's possible there is something going on I am not aware of. If you'd like me to look at the game I'd be happy to. You could send me an email if you don't want to announce in game details.

So the AI didn't mess with ships with already existing orders at all and just executed the current orders rights? That's sounds perfectly alright to me.

Now I remember that I did mess up by uploading the same turn twice in my KOTH game. No big deal. The AI obsoleted all my designs and designed a bunch of new ones with generic names, retrofitted some ships that were just hanging around and issued movement orders to refuel stationery ships that were running low on supplies. It didn't do a thing to ships that already had specific orders to do something.

Not much feedback on the "Hill" game. I sure do miss Stone!
