I've noticed this a couple times now. The AI arrives with more than enough troops
to successfully invade one of my planets, but for some reason it does not use all
of its troops and the invasion fails. Next turn it invades again and is of course
successful. Weird.

The AI doesn't seem to be able to deal with Monsters very well. The last three games I played the AI had a planet with the Honeycomb special on it and even though they had large powerful fleets late game they still had not conquered and settled that system. This special is way too powerful for them ...

I've encountered your bug. Game stalled right after I conquered an AI. I'm going to keep playing until I get a stall without that condition. Continued playing. Only got one other stall, but that was again after conquering an AI. I did notice after the turn button returned to being black and it saved...

That sounds great. I just have no idea how to do it myself.

Pretty sure that is not it. Not that many AI's in the game.
After a while it will do it every 5 to 10 turns.

Don't know if this is a known issue. Playing latest test build, 2018-10-27. After about turn 200 or so sometimes after you hit the turn button the game just stops. It's not frozen or locked. The mouse still works and you can exit the game normally. It just goes to the AI's turn processing and never ...

Yes, I always went Pre-Warp too, but that was only because the game
would make stupid decisions for you about what techs you would choose.
Hopefully that can be avoided here.

OK, here I go again. I hate planets going to waste and I even consider putting a very sub standard Species on a planet instead of a better one to be a waste, so... I would like a Terraforming Colony ship that puts one population on a planet. This population can survive any habitat, but it cannot gro...

I don't see any need to complicate the early game, but that's just my opinion. I can see how others might like it so I would suggest that if you make the changes that you make them optional. Master of Orion II had options to start a game as Pre-warp, Average or Advanced. Something like that would be...

This was my first ever encounter of Sly. At first I couldn't understand how these GGGs were being built in systems with only a Gas Giant. And some of them were deep in my territory that I know hadn't been conquered! Then I suppose I must have gotten scanner tech good enough to finally see them and I...

Yup, that's it. GGs inhabited by Sly.
Thanks.

The Pedia says that it adds +10 Industry, but when you look at the Industry meters
for a planet that has one in its system it says only +5.
Is this an error or is the Pedia wrong?

I always play on Planet Density:Low so getting Subterranean and other Colonization techs are a high priority.

I would suggest playing a low planet density game and see if your strategy still works.

Ah yes, I had not taken the tech changes into consideration.
I still think the cost of the SG hull should be doubled to make it an even more difficult choice.

Yes, they're way too good. I changed that and made Nanorobitic Maintenance a prereq for SG hulls, and swapped their research cost and time. Now in midgame I have to choose between Nanorobotic and Large Asteroid hulls. At least there's a choice. That is just great. I shall change my installation the...
