Yeah, you need to uninstall the EA downloader - fixed it for me. I was crashing every few minutes before that.
So is it addictive then? Kind of like Civilisation-play-from-2pm-to-4am addictive?
Here's a little tip for anyone at the second stage.
If it suddenly turns to night, and your vision becomes incredibly limited, do not continue to play for another six hours, with your nose pressed up against the monitor, bitching about the dark setting and fiddling with the monitor to try and improve the situation, while waiting for a dawn that never comes.
Give your creature back the eyes you accidentally removed.
Oh yes. I'm a total tool.

and it's a real shame the space stage isn't full of more/any AI.
As for the choices throughout, I think that once you've made your bed through the first four stages, you lie in it for the space stage. I went from being extremely pleasant to people to just running around destroying empire after empire and by the end of the game, the timeline hadn't moved an inch up or down
Thats not true, I was in the red in all the stages being aggresive and war mongering, but have completly turned tail in the space stage I am opening new alliances and trade routes, I ended the war against me by offering them money and now I have bought two of there planets through trade and peace.
I am in contact with around 5 or so races at the moment and noticed a few more still in the civ or tribal phase, hopefully I will meet more races.
Also whats the deal with the Grox, do you ever find out?
EA says it has found from user data that fewer than half of one per cent of users have tried to activate the game on more than three computers. As a result, it believes allowing five installations of the game will account for all legitimate users.
