You have lost the game, would you like to continue?



Could there be a screen or something that actual shows, who won and under what victory conditions they defeated me when this questions is asked? Currently the only way to see who beat me is to quit. And many times, I am just a turn away from an epic battle or something so I would rather continue.



In my current game, I control well over 2/3 of all space, and have ALL the races back peddling, then out of no where this message comes up, so I am a bit puzzled but don't wish to push the quit button so I can see under what victory condition I was beat.

Knowing that would be good, so I'll second this suggestion.



Lost my first game last night. I would have won in 8 turns, I was building the five invincible empire monuments, but the hissho empire completed the economic victory condition before I could finish the monuments. The hissho are becoming my sworn enemies... I had a very bitter, yet satisfying war, against them in my first game, I won the war and the game. What I'd like to know, how large FIDS bonus does the AI get on the normal difficulty? I controlled a bit over 50% of the galaxy, while the hissho controlled the rest. I had terraformed all of my non-gas giant and asteroid planets to either terrans (mostly), tundras and jungles. I'd be willing to bet good money that the hissho hadn't terraformed but a handful of planets and kept spamming fleets, yet still winning the economic victory. One lesson learned though, break trading if there's only one AI left standing. I would have won if my opponent couldn't have benefited from trade with me.

It's definetly an feature that should be implemented. I think you can still do the continue, save, quit, load it should show the latest victory condition(could be wrong).

For future reference, there is a proper forum for suggestions for the game. Go into the Game2gether forum, and into the Game Proposals sub-forum found there. That is where ideas/suggestions are supposed to be posted. A mod will likely move this there for you when they notice it.



Also, we should already have this in game:

This happened to me. The thing I was surprised about is that I turned off all the victory conditions, so I was wondering how? Regardless, I'm still getting the hang of things, but the AI was about to ROFL stomp me anyway, so it's not a big deal.



I was still able to play as the prompt came up, but every few turns the window saying i lost would show up again. That only needs to happen once.

I won a game last night (however, it didn't say based on which victory conditions, that info should be added to the game) and I was able to continue playing after my victory and conquer the rest of the galaxy. Even once I've conquered all corners of the known universe, I could go on, but didn't see much point.



On the other side, I still recall my first lost game, they conquered all of my planets and I was still getting the message if I wanted to continue to play... With what?

Yes, this also happened to me, and though I had about half the galaxy, I didn't have the slightest clue how I'd won.

Offtopic, but somehow this reminded me of my puberty sex life...



Well, as long as it is a win...

You looked at the title and said "it's already in" without reading the actual suggestion:

Others are asking the same thing in many different threads...



Basically the "You Lost" message should just be replaced with the final summary score screen with an option to Continue or Finish at the bottom.



Along the same lines, it would be a good idea to be able to create a tech that is in the research tree that allows you to be alerted when another faction may be rumored to be nearing a victory condition.

Second this, I was about to win through the Endless Empire (final colonization science unlock) by building those 5 things and suddenly I had won before the last 2 were built...
