So I had this game. I discovered an NPR. I used my brilliant idea of probing the NPR to keep track of them. My turn lengths got crippled right then. I destroyed my probes and moved away from their system. (this took a while) That didn't work. A year of 1 day turns later, I gave up and went for my last ditch attempt of 'delete race'. (after backing up the database -- the WRONG database
why why why are there TWO large files named stevefire.mdb?) Three days after I hit the delete button, the game switched to 10s turns, then I could play normally again.
My question is: What happened?? All I can figure is two races I didn't know of were preparing to slug it out (over a
ridiculously long period of time), and I just happened to wreck my game before they finally killed each other.
EDIT: Half a month later it's back to 1 day turns. Argh.
EDIT2: Apparently 'delete race' doesn't actually WORK??
