Summary0014534: Lost ability to gain influence with sole non-fear empire race
DescriptionIn my game I lost the ability to gain influence with the Evucks for reasons that are unclear to me. My influence was at 44 and no mission or action would give me any additional influence so even though I almost single-handily saved them from annihilation by the Acutian Fear Empire with armada construction for years and joined the defense of their homeworld many times when they finally wiped out the Acutians they hunted me down and I lost the game.

In save 005 b I can still gain influence but by 005 c something has already gone wrong. 005 d is after years of work on the behalf of the Evucks but to no avail for me personally in the end.

Thanks!

* Fixed a couple of confusing things with hostile alliances:
** On "The Betrayed," added a clarifying note to its tooltip stating that no further influence can be gained with that race.
** On Fear Empires, there was previously a rule saying that while it existed, you could not gain any influence with ANY other races. That has been changed so that you just can't gain influence with the Fear Empire race, and the tooltip now reflects that.
** Previously, you could not gain influence with Smuggler Empires, but now you can.

Thanks for fixing this!

Will this fix retroactively apply influence I would have gained? And if it does/or I can earn enough in time will the last survivor spare me if they like me enough?

If not that's ok as I think I made some poor choices in that game anyway. I spent the lion's share of my time supporting the Burlusts and researching technology with them, that 005 b opens with their annilation all but guaranteed shows how well the ignore-the-other-largely strategy worked out. As it should I may add. :)

Also did the Fear Empire prevent improving relations between other races outside of the Empire? It seemed like it was. I've been having trouble improving relations in that game but it may be that I didn't have enough time. (I'd check but my only pre-only-two-left save, 005b, results in a SAP fairly easily.)

No problem! And yep, that's what the fear empire was doing.

oops, looks like you responded while I was editing my post. This is what I think I added more or less:

Can you survive without creating a Federation if you get on the good side of the surviving race before they wipe out the other(s) if the survivor isn't in a non-federation alliance?

Will the fix give me the influence I should have gotten or is it lost?

The influence you would have gotten is lost. If all the current races are in non-federation alliances, I believe that already triggers a loss condition immediately.

It should but what if the sole survivor isn't in any alliances at all? Or does not in the Federation/no Federation amount to the same thing as being in a non-federation alliance if there is only one race left?

Also, if you only have two races left, and one is a Fear Empire, and haven't formed a Federation yet, isn't that a loss condition as you need two available races to form a Federation? If it is then my game should have ended when the third to last race died as that would have been the last chance to form a Federation.

I can make a bug report for either of these if it is warranted.

Edit: I'll go ahead and make a report for it.
