Alf your right the AI was missing in asendancy I forgot to mention that but what I was comparing it to was not the ai because one thing that GC or GC2 have is an AI. What I was really refering it to was the lenght of time it took to upgrade buildings. But if the local gov takes care of it then that problem is averted.
This is about the 10th game I play and have been trying to track where the game crashes. In the previous turn I upgraded all my ship factories to the next level I pressed turn for about 3 times (weeks) and bam CTD. This is just what i suspect is the problem. This does corrupt the save game too.
While playing I noticed that when upgrading factories research labs ect. ect. to their newer more productive counter parts it's long and teadious. Take Ascendancy's developed The Logic Factory, Nice game but was such a burdun on upgrades that it got poorly rated by reviewers. I suggest adding a simple tab on the planet view to be able to upgrade all tiles of factory or reseach in one click. I like micro management but when I have to click on each tab and then click on what I want to do 10 times
