This may have been covered before, but a quick search didn't uncover anything.
I'm currently trying to stop the Trifecta of Superiority from overwhelming the last race (Skylaxians, as it happens. yay for the Ark
). This is hard, and I freely admit I've reloaded a few times. However, at least once, I have, without warning, gone from the solar map to the "you lose" outro ("apparently they just don't like YOUR form of co-operation" ...). When this happens, I have *no* idea why. The Skylaxians have 3 planets, so it wasn't conquest. Either they formed a one-race alliance of their own or they joined the ToS - but I don't *know*, so it's hard to decide how to react to it / prevent it, or what warning signs to look out for if I start a new game.
It would be great if we could review the final positon of the game after a loss. Even something as simple as returning to the game with it permanently paused and all contracts disabled, etc, would allow me to review the event log, racial relations, alliances, etc.
Side note: thanks for a game which continually surprises me. When the ToS formed, the whole nature of my goals changed in an instant (from "get the Look upon your Creation..." achievement to "holy moly, how am I going to stop them now?"). Awesome work!
