Ending with a Fizzle

from GalCiv2 Forums

I was playing Nightmare, the final scenario of the TA campaign.  (Incidently, this is the only campaign I have completed, and had the following outcome:

Very early in the game, I contacted the Krynn (of course, they are close neighbors) and went to talk to them.  Looking through the techs, they had available, I noticed that they had all 5 terror star techs, and they sold them to me!

I was able to build a terror star and win before my initial money ran out (at a burn rate of over 500bc per turn), and before the Dread Lords build anything more fearsome than 1 attack 5 move small hulled ships.

Has anyone else seen this?  Frankly I was expecting a long slog while under heavy attack from invincible DL ships, so it seemed a bit disappointing that I could circumvent the scenario so easily.  (Yes, I realize that I could have just not asked for those techs and gone the long route, but I wanted to finish.)

Yeah, sadly it's been seen.  At one point it was the Iconians who had the techs.  Has the ability to be an epic mission, but it can also be reduced to about 14 turns of clicking.

Also, when you make contact with the Iconians or Krynn now they say "morality message X" (X being a random number I imagine). There's also a Dread Lord ship called "Dread Lord Lollypop" for some reason. :p
