Yeah, a crappy bit of programming on their part. I've hit this bug several times just because I like to CRUSH my enemies rather than simply win. Latest time was at the height of my power as the Pentastar Alignment, when I was beginning my galactic conquest in earnest.

Yes, the Freeze takes all the wind out of playing turtle.  If you don't rush to the finish on larger maps you will lose the ability to play just as things get interesting.  Then again, it does make things interesting when you know ahead of time that doom approaches.

Petro wasn't careful in designing the base game

Which, to be honest, isn't in the least bit shocking.

Not possible. People have tried a lot of stuff, some of it similar to that, and it doesn't work.

An idea for battling the freeze:

NOTE:  I haven't been scripting and modding in this game for about a year so I can't remember what is possible, etc.

Is there anyway to, through code, to copy out the current forces, money, etc of all players to a debug file?  I know that in certain running scripts for the GC scenarios, I've seen code that will produce debug output of kills, score, etc.

Anyway, if this can be done, theoretically you could produce a scenario file that is a snapshot of where the current galactic situation is, and just simply start a new scenario starting off where the old game stopped.

You could just make it write out the file every 50 weeks or so, so you know you'll not reach the 'freeze'.

Example:

1. Start AoW, run 50 weeks
2. User Collects debug file, and copies it as a new scenario.
3. Start AoW#2 (the new scenario with the updated starting forces), run 50 weeks
4. Rinse and Repeat

Using this strategy, you could theoretically extend a GC scenario indefinitely.

Any thoughts on this from the mod team?

We'd have to rename the mod then.

My understanding is that if you NEVER start a tactical battle, it won't happen.

Wait if you avoid avoid tactical battle the freeze won't happen?

From what I know people have tried this before and it doesn't work. All that works is autoreolving and never going into tactical battles.
