did you see '15 turns to victory' on your screen? do you now see 'X has won a space race victory'?. final silly question, did you disable space race victory condition?
If you don't build the maximum SS components it can indeed fail. However, you should get a message telling you that. Check your event logs to see.
Where is the event log ?
Round circle with pencil and pad of paper in the upper left corner just under your gold amount. (and just above your sliders for / / ).
Click on the button and you can see events, chat logs, combat logs and quests.
It is expandable by dragging the borders.
You didn't lose your capitol did you? If that happens, the spaceship is recalled/destroyed.
it's capital with an "a"... the only "Capitol" with "o" is the building in D.C.
it's capital with an "a"... the only "Capitol" with "o" is the building in D.C. ... sounds like a bug in your game; why don't you post the save so someone else can check it out
Where would I post the save - the one with my cahp-ee-tohl intact?
Hmm the game is over the time limit now i think turn 758 on epic.
But the ship was launched in time - July 2003. With only one Engine, but i dont see a failure message in the log. "View Spaceship" from the Victory screen shows the ugly "Welcome To Alpha Cantauri" splash.
From all i can see the game is already won.
Are you sure you did not won it and then clicked "Just one More Turn..." to continue ?
Look in your hall of fame from the main menu and it has the list of all your completed games. It'll also have the replay and final score/date finished if its in their.
