I think you forgot to upload the turn, Geo.

Done now (see last post of previous page).

And I need some votes on the extra rule proposed before.
Either:
1. No attacking Bree Sea Colony Pods/Escape Pods at sea with units that have the Marine Detachment ability.
Or:
2. Any Sea Colony Pods/Escape Pods captured from the Bree must be immediately disbanded.

This prevents humans from taking advantage of killing a large Bree base in order to steal 2-4 Colony Pods with Marine Detachment, and will reduce micromanagement of lots of small bases later on for everyone.

One could use those pods to increase the population of existing bases as well.
I'd say no restrictions on spoils of war or limited use of abilities, thus if a Bree base is captured, all what comes from it should be considered gifts.

Can anyone start a new game with this new alphax? I've just discovered I can't, there is a screen with the Pirates, but no Planetfall follows and I need to alt+del+ctl.

At my end, a custom start blocks the game at the leader intro screen (the leader you last started a game with prior to the bug). Quick start lets you play with aforementioned leader.

To the Technos.

And No to the rule proposition.
As has been said  by Ete, it shall be hard enough to take a Bree base that one can enjoy the benefits. And one needs to have marine detachments to benefit. It's costly and not anytime soon, at least for the Hive and probably Domai too.

Okay, no rule against stealing Bree pods. In that case, I'd suggest that as a possible strategy at some point when you have some free military if there's a largeish bree base with only 1-2 defenders. Marine Detachment is key to most naval wars already, so you'll want ships with it.

Turned. As for cooperative victory, it actually puzzles me why it's there. Maybe you can win with the AI, but it's BS just the same. Anyway, please let's not do any perma alliances. One winner will do.

Geo, I have the same. It's probably something to do with the custom factions line, there's bit messy there.

If the AI is down to a few scattered bases and a human player is clearly the winner over the rest, no real need to play it out at that point i guess.

That's why I posted it, to let you know you're not alone. 

Yo, , things have moved!
