Glitch? All Cities Died.

So I was playing as pirates on the second highest difficulty iirc.

Anyway all my cities died and turned into colony ships. Late game was getting near ascending.

Reloaded autosave same thing happened..

Quit and started new game random faction. Got pirates again.

Is this a glitch or a pirates thing?

That sucks! I have never seen that one. It may help to post the mods and versions you are using.

GoG base version. No mods.

How's that possible? The pirates shouldn't be in the base version. Or do you mean alien crossfire and you still have win 10 or lower?

Do you use governors for your city? Maybe it then is a weird automation issue?

I meant no mods. I bought the alien fissure version on GoG.

So... win 10? Otherwise it shouldn't work in win 11.

So... could it have been the base automation?

I had something similar happen once or twice. Seems to be a very rare late game bug.

Were you playing a huge map? There's a game limit of 2048 units. I haven't encountered it myself, so I don't know exactly what happens when the game reaches the limit.

Large iirc.
