Just saw the Trade Good completion dialog simultaneous (overlaid) with (on top of) the Research Completed dialog, rather than the usual Trade Good, "Done", Research sequence. TBC

Things are broken on the other end of the morality spectrum as well. I colonized a world, took a +15% Production bonus, a -10 Morality hit and just like that -- I'm Demonic evil at 40. Is this the correct behavior? TBC
In the Foreign Policy window, after clicking on the Minor Races button for the first time (or the first time following a reload), the arrows surrounding the Speak To button are missing. After clicking on another Minor's icon in the upper right of the window, the arrows appear. TBC
Loading from the AutoSave Disbands all existing Rally Points. TBC
In the Diplomacy window, when manually entering a duration for a Money deal, you can enter an arbitrarily large amount (e.g.), 100 bc for 9999999999 months which results in an overflow and line wrap when returning to the Diplomacy window (e.g.), 100 for 14100655407 month(s) Using the arrows/slider limits the duration to 50 months as before. What is the intended range supposed to be? Be seeing you... ---> TBC (The Bug Collector)
I just want to echo what Bam Bam says about the succession games. We who participate in the SGs are very much aware of the (unseen) audience and try to provide as detailed descriptions as possible of what we're doing and why. I predict it's simply a matter of time until we start the "Blind, Slow, Always-War" Maso SG! :D :D Be seeing you... ---> TBC (Threatening Blind Crawlers)
I'm in as well -- no team preference. TBC
I've seen enough weirdness in some of my games that I save frequently -- my autosave is set to every 3 months and I save manually at the start of a year. Even on the notebook computer where I do most of my GalCiv, disk space is cheap and plentiful. When I've finished a game, I zip the saves (GalCiv saves are highly compressible) and then delete the corresponding files/folders from my ...\SaveGames folder. Call me paranoid (see below ;) ) but the above has come in handy several times in the past.
To finish out 2003, I've uploaded two games, both Crippling. The first, an Alliance Victory (Chaotic Good) on Large worth 14718, and the second, a Military Conquest (Chaotic Evil) on Large worth 18160. I too have found not much of a challenge on Crippling and so am moving up to Maso, although I will take the recent comments about Maso into account. Be seeing you... ---> TBC (Too Basic... Crippling seems)
