Curious - was it a feature or a bug
Posted: Sun Jun 04, 2017 1:09 am
Just completed a game that went very long (for me) - over 400 turns. Production points were in excess of 4k. Research points in excess of 2k.
Somewhere around turn 300 I had finished researching everything I wanted to research. The AI proved tougher than most I had played previous, plus its empire was placed over a large area far from where i could build what I wanted to build, so it took many turns for me to build a fleet of warships large enough to attack and a few turns to get them from point of origin to the system I was invading. So the last almost 100 turns, I was producing and moving, but I was not researching any thing specifically.
Yet the game started researching items on its own. It appeared to research from to to bottom, left to right, all items not yet researched.
Is this normal? Or is this a bug?
Like I said, curious.
