The good news: I won my first Utopia game!

..the bad news: it ended like this:

1000 star galaxy, i had just under a quarter of it. I wasn't close to any of the victory conditions. My glorious Arachnoid Collective was in the process of purging the galaxy of the wretched Lagin Chuuz Autocracy when this just randomly popped up. I was having so much fun

Here's where i was at:

Well, maybe the AI saw that it stood no chance and decided to throw the towel?

Do you read event/story/tech messages or skip?

 

[Notho]

Empty victory...

 

[-Marauder-]

Empty victory...

You could say it feels "pretty hollow".

Make sure you post a bug about this in the appropriate forum.

Wow, some people just go through 2 centuries of game play within what...10 hours at most.
That's 20 game years in one hour if u played non-stop, jeez.
Do you read event/story/tech messages or skip?

1 century. Game starts at 2200

And yeah I read the messages that I'm not familiar with, skip the ones I am.

Yeah, I apologize, didn't check your screenshot close-up.
I hope this doesn't happen to me. Are you on Ironmode? Can you reload and see if this happens again?

 

[Meneliki]

Yeah I ended up just reloading the save and thankfully it didn't happen again.
It was this wierd situation where i was invading a planet which, at the exact same time, was being settled as a wargoal in some other war.. so someone else took the planet at the same time i did.. im wondering if that glitched it out.
