Decided I wanted to play a few rounds again after about a year off, and so I downloaded Galciv 2, and the DA upgrade, Installed the latest patch (1.80g) and started to goto town. On my second game (Large/Normal/Challenging/No surrender) The terrans declared war on me- I mobilized and most of the war went like you'd expect on Challenging- Our Fleets would met, on to the next fight. Near the end of the war, half the ships on the opposing side would be invisible, and I found that if I engaged a fleet that had more invisibles then solids, the game would crash at the end of the fight. So I turned on instant battle/no show and that fixxed that. So after I destroyed the Terrans, there surviving ships splintered off, some joined other civs, a few became pirates. No biggie right? I checked out my map, making sure no Pirates threatened anything, and I hit Only to loose a Unarmed Starbase and Freighter. On My turn I again look for the Raiders... Nothing. A few turns later I lost a constructor, still can't find those suckers... So I turn on fleet battles/Battles again, saved after every turn to and sure enough within 4 turns, another Star base was attacked, this time one of my Eco bases deep in my Empire... It appeared to be a little 1 attack invisible ship- The game crashed after the fight so I had to reload. I scanned around the base that was to be destroyed and I still couldn't him. Admitting defeat in this instance I started having to use my Ships to escort my unarmed ships... Turned off battles again, Decided to live with it. As the game progressed I came across invisible Freighters that if you where not on top of you'd never find unless you sent a ship up and down the line. More and more of these "Cloaked" ships started springing up for everyone. Sometimes you can find them if you zoom out- you'll get to see the icon this is not 100%- Most of the time they don't appear to even HAVE an icon when you zoom out (i.e Freighters) This screen pic is one of the few times you can find those pesky ships- when they make a fleet with them- If they'd tried to run past my ship one at a time I never would have seen them... Also in this battle, if I turn on Full Battles again- It well crash. Does anyone have any ideas?
