BUG Game No Longer Ends when last Player Planet Wiped Out

November 25, 2008 5:39:33 AM from Sins of a Solar Empire ForumsSins of a Solar Empire Forums

Just a reminder, the games do not end any longer when the last player's planet is conquered.  We are back to the days of players refusing to quit / surrender and making you hunt down every AI planet in the game.  Which is a big pain on huge maps.

Blair, we saw this behavior in one of the games we played a couple days ago.  I haven't seen any mention of it, so I thought I would post a reminder.

 

 

12/12/08 - Title renamed as "Bug" since others have confirmed behavior

I can confirm this problem.  If you start a 2v2, and one opponent leaves/quits, and the remaining player refuses to quit, to get the win, you need to wipe out both the remaining player and every planet that the AI took over.  Even if you first wipe out the second opponent.  It's like defeating 3 opponents instead of 2!  It gets worse with more players, and larger maps.

I would wish that you could only loose when all of your planets and every single colony ship (or a ship with colonizing abillitie) is destroyed

I can confirm this problem.

It occured to me that this could be the result of the host quitting, and the game migrating to a new host! I believe that was the case in my example. 

(PS. I agree 100% with Shadowhal, above.  People could just run colony ships round & round the system, even when there's nothing left to colonize).

I don't get this either. You have practically already lost if you don't have any planets.

Single Player games (3 FFA unlocked teams) also no longer end when you defeat one opponent while you have a formal peace treaty with another AI (even if you have 100% Happiness).  At least, I think thats how it used to work?!

But if you have a colony ship u could still colonise and it would be like Battlestar Galactica

No a colony ship can't colonize a hostile planet, so if all of the planets were hostile, you couldn't colonize anything.
