None of this shit is anywhere in the manual by fabio 03/23/2012, 12:25pm PDT Setting random encounters to 0% is priority #1. Nothing is more fun than having to restart a game as Hivers because your initial slow ass exploration/gate/tanker wave ran into a random sinister presence and got wiped out. Enjoy waiting another 30 turns for the next wave to get there. Probably on the verge of giving up and going back to MOO1. It's a "deeper than it seems" game with absolutely none of the deep elements documented anywhere. It's funny that you mentioned Total War to me yesterday because this is reminding me of a 4X TW game: an empire game where the big selling point is pretty 3D battles, but I end up auto resolving every one because they take forever. And yeah the interface is terrible.
