Everyone allied, but no victory?

from GalCiv2 Forums

I've run into something in a ToA game lately that I've not encountered before. I am playing a game with 8 different races, and I've become allies with all of them. So according to everything I know about the game from the manual and previous experience, I should win a diplomatic victory... but no. I've played about 20 turns past getting the last alliance completed, and nothing. The game just continues on as usual.

I'm relatively new to ToA, so is there something new about the expansion that I'm missing? Or is this a bug? Curious about what might be going on here.

Ummmm....... this is going to be a fairly stupid-sounding question, but: did you enable "alliance victory"? You only win when you ally everybody if that victory condition is checked.

Yep, the button (all of 'em) is clicked, so alliance victories are certainly possible... in fact, I won a separate game last night through alliances, so it's definitely possible... just seems to be this one game that isn't working.

Definately a bug, then. Best to report it, if there are still any devs over in the bug thread.

I dont suppose you have had the 'Dread Lords Appear' event have you? If so it can stop the alliance vistory until they have been removed from the game.

What it does it say on the Victory Conditions screen?
