Hi,

I'm playing the game in German, so it might be that the naming of what I describe is wrong, but I try to describe it so that you know what I mean even if I use the wrong names... BTW: Maybe it's just too early in the morning and therefore I can't see it, but shouldn't there be a way to search the forum to check if anyone already posted that bug?

Platform: PC, Windows 11, STEAM version, but I doubt that STEAM is interfering in the game logic here.

Description: After a long time, I played Endless Space 2 again, and although the game offers only 4 victory technologies in the science screen (the four connecting the four quadrants), after having developed these inventions, the science victory was not granted. Looking on the Victory table in the game, the tool tip says that I have to develop 4 special technologies, and that I have 4 of the neccessary 6 technologies developed.

As the game did not grant the science victory, this is not only a mistake of the message text, it really seems to wait for technology 5 and 6.

I played this time as the Lumeris (if that is important), I achieved that victory the last time (years ago) with the Sophos, but I don't remember whether even the science screen looked the same back then, so the "6 technologies" could be a historic value. Also, I think when playing the Sophos I did not enter an alliance, so it could even be that the game applies the rule of proportion (Dreisatz) like when increasing the necessary systems for the "Eroberung" (hegemony?, conquest?) victory. When I start a new game (and in an old save at turn 49) the tooltip still says, that I have developed 0 of the 4 needed technologies, in turn 251 (the next save after that) it says I have 3 of the needed 6 technologies.

Well, I finished the game with the economy victory (collecting enough dust) which anyway fits better to the Lumeris, but a bug is a bug and therefore should be reported...

Reproducibility: I don''t know how reproducible that problem is. As I mostly relied on the auto save, I can't say which specific step increased the "necessary" limit, and there would be too much to replay to check whether achieving the first Endless technology already triggers that problem, or maybe entering the alliance, or whether this just appeared on a differnt trigger.

Expected Behavior: If the science victiory speaks of 4 technolgies, 4 should be enough (needless to say :-) )

Version: STEAM version, so it should be constantly updated

Attachments: Save game with already 3 of 6 needed Endless technologies.

Hi mdietz,

That one is easy to solve. 

You are in an alliance. Therefore, you're partner also needs the endless technologies. There are two options for you to win the game instantly.

- Give the endless technologies to your ally as a gift (diplomacy screen).

- Break the alliance

Viel Spaß

BTW,Michael, i tried your hint and it doesn't work, The Endless technologies don't even appear in the list of technologies I can trade with (or give to) my alliance partner. And it doesn't seem to be a problem of prerequisites (enough technologies of the lower stages). Even when donating all technologies in the list and ending the turn, I cannot give those technologies in the next turn. 

So I stay with my claim: the science victory within an alliance is not implemented correctly.

It is implemented properly it's just not designed well. Your AI friend is expected to research the T6 technologies themselves, hence why most people just leave their alliance at that point.
