Petro wasn't careful in designing the base game

Which, to be honest, isn't in the least bit shocking.
People should not be afraid of their government...governments should be afraid of their people.

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.
Did you see that?  Know what that cost?  $58,000.  I mean, what a waste.  It wasn't even funny.  That's $58,000 that could have gone to curing leukemia.  Or.  muscular dystrophy.  Or... what does Michael J. Fox have?  That.  Alright, let's watch some damn cartoons.
