Bugger! MASSIVE MASSIVE Mistake! |
As you can see from the heading i've made a massive mistake.
Instead of asking for an enemy to surrender, i actually sent them a message saying that i will surrender. I didn't think i did, but at the start of the very next turn, i got a message on the screen saying game over, all human players have been eliminated. I went to the communications screen, and there was a message from me relating to my last turn saying that i wanted to surrender (so i obviously did send it).
I saved the game, at the end of the last turn, and at the end of the turn before that. I don't want to take the whole turn again (lots & lots of diplomacy, ship redesign, battles etc done that turn), is there anyway i can edit the message before i end the turn?
Also, why did the game become over on that turn.. ? Doesn't it take a turn for the message to get to them?
Playing V1.66 BM 1.12.
Cheers!
Re: Bugger! MASSIVE MASSIVE Mistake!
I choose to avoid the surrender option altogether. I have though sent messages out offering some of my planets by mistake lol, think i got around that by sending another message declaring war. They said they were insulted and let me keep my planets 
And yeah, it does take a turn for them to receive the message, so a treaty takes 3 turns to be in effect.

LOL Keep your stupid planets loser hehe
Groovy Baby Yeah!

lol it was their loss, two of them had mineral value over 200 with all the best facilities on them.
Re: Bugger! MASSIVE MASSIVE Mistake!
I almost made the same mistake several times. They should make it a little clearer.
Re: Bugger! MASSIVE MASSIVE Mistake!
Its a pity there isn't a summary record of the diplomatic messages you send that turn, and you get to cancel 1 if you want. I find that not only do i send stupid messages without realising (see above 
) i tend to send the same message repeatedly, or even worse i send a number of messages to the same empire, completely contradicting each other..!

*Sorry, wrong topic :)*
Re: Bugger! MASSIVE MASSIVE Mistake!
I have also wanted to do retractions for incorrect messages accidentally sent. I guess interstellar email is the same as ours, no retractions once sent.

heh, another Minbari. 
Re: Bugger! MASSIVE MASSIVE Mistake!
I have a high latency at interstellar distances.
Re: Bugger! MASSIVE MASSIVE Mistake!
If you were using autosave or had a recent save, you could re-load that and avoid surrendering.
