Here is the way the game went done.
GC 1.3 two majors left Torians and Drengin empire.
They got a stupid event where they had to go to war against each other.
They were both close to me so I picked Aliance and ended the game.
Would of it been better to wait let them get weak from their war then Ally with the winner ?

I have an interesting Gigantic game going... I culture flipped the biggest empire (Arcean) to the point they were pretty weak. At the same time I turned all the other races against him (He was twice as big as the next empire, which was me). So he was pretty much in ruins when I attacked him. The first turn afer attacking him he decided to surrender to me.
I did a culture flip in one sector in the middle of the Yor's territory. Soon after that, he surrendered to me.
So now we have the Drengin in the top left corner, pretty much useless. I'm letting him live, just to help me fight my two real adversaries. I let the Altarians get too strong, and his ally the Torians have gotten signficant too. At one point both of their militaries were bigger than mine. I built a terror star fully loaded with military and defensive upgrades and decided to gather my fleet in that sector since I kept getting ambushed everywhere else. It worked like a charm, soon I was the best military in the galaxy again, and I am able to keep getting the Torians to forget about the war.
Seems kind of stupid that they declare war because they are allies with the Altarians, but then will make peace immediately every time.
Anyway, so I'm about to start pummeling the Altarians and that's when I get a (so far) unrecoverable error.
This game has been way more militarilistic than usual. Ironically, I'll likely get less points than my usual "military" wins because this game has gone on for ever. I think you get penalized for long games don't you?

We Canadians live in a blind spot about our identity. We have very strong feelings about who we aren't but only weak ones about who we are. We're passionate about what we don't want to become but oddly passive about what we should be.

It's amazing what a search for Famous Quotes Canada will deliver.

Paguma,
Any luck getting your game past the CTD.
I was thinking if you have some ships moving automatically you may want to halt the movement of you ships at least for a few turns. I seen crashes a long time ago with survey ships manually change directions I get past the crash.

You know the class 26 planet I mentioned above received a planet improvement event to class 35
When I finished the game with soil enhancement, habit improvement, teraforming, enhanced and advanced teraforming, the Teraformer the planet was a class 50 
What a great planet I was poping off Wonders and Trade Goods every 3 to 5 turns.  Guess it will be a long time before I ever luck out again.

Too bad I can not advise on if Drengin.net is worth the money. As per other games on the Drengin.net the selection is not great but I think I will renew just to see what Stardock comes out with next.
The AP does seem to force new strategies, the starbase Fee have minors not giving me loads of cash but I really am looking forward to exploring the AP.

Not often that happens. I consider my self lucky if Earth's a 17 and it has one other habitable planet.
