So, it's turn 313, seems score victory was disabled and I've spent this long playing for a score victory with all other victory conditions disabled other than Supremacy (I forgot to check settings before I started the game, I always thought most game settings defaulted each time, I guess victory conditions are one of the few things that save).



I'm also trying to get the victory for not building ships with weapons, so while i'm giving it a good go at luring enemy ships from their home worlds so i can ninja in some invasion, clicking auto 50 times a turn all the while the enemy is building more ships and I'm not killing there. and they don't seem to want to leave their home system with 20 fleets stacked there right now.



Halp! >.>

I might die of old age before enough time passes that I can get to cease fire negotiations and try handing over half my systems for their home world. As that's my only hope at this rate. No way for them to destroy any of my fleets, they are lucky to do 10% damage with their best hero fleets and that regens back straight away.

Turn 325, I now control about 80% of the galaxy, but sowers refuse to give up their home world! >.<



would really like to not write this off as a lost cause. currently aiming to run them into bankruptcy that they can't get out of, no idea how that will go...

Lots of save game editing can be done with this:

Thanks Davea, I couldn't see a way to change victory conditions from that, but I could move their home system to one I'd already managed to start invading.



I hope I never decided to do this again



Edit: That didn't work, finally got through the 100+ battles I had to resolve before I could end turn. Now it's the next turn and Supremacy is still at 75% despite now owning the sowers home system. I'm guessing the systems for supremacy victory are set at game start by system id or similar and moving the home system doesn't move the goal posts.



Any other ideas? Resolving 100+ battles per turn really is going to kill me.



If there was an auto resolve all button, this wouldn't be so bad. An auto dismiss all battle reports would be nice too... I know I won all 100+ and my ships are back at full health, I don't want to have to click to open the report and click again to dismiss it u.u



More edit: oow oow, making that change opened up the victory condition system in the ceasefire negotiations, so i just threw systems at them until they let me have it and won.



For anyone that wants to see my pain, here is the save game file from after I altered the sower home system: AMOEBA - Turn 325.zip
