I had the same problem! However, what the event does is cause the enemy who recieves it to get + 1 to any random attribute every turn. Though this is only minor early on, you will find them much more difficult to combat many turns in the future! Especially if you play on Normal or above. Eventually, if you do not kill them, they will be unbeatable.

It only gives it to the weakest of the AI's when they're getting whomped. *IF* they survive and thrive they'll eventually do you in.

Huh. It's always been the weakling that gets it in my games.
No, I don't know of any way to turn it off.

Its a random event that doesn't happen every game. And the game is still beatable even if you don't go to war with them just gets more difficult. In one game I even had the effected race as an Ally.

Every time it's happened in any of my games, it's always been a race I haven't encountered yet, off in unexplored space. Since I can't do anything about it, I just ignore until I meet up with whoever it is. Often they are wiped out by one of the majors long befroe that happens.

Hmmm .. the descriptions of these events can be located in the ENGLISH file under the Data directory. But this are only the description strings. Strange .. for a game that is supposed to be so modifiable, I cannot find where Comeback_1 and Comeback_2 are defined so they could be adjusted. Have to go dig around in the mod section of the forums...

I agree, Valamir. The game I've enjoyed the most was one in which I lost all of my planets save 1 (one!) to the Fundamentalist event. It took several years, but I was able to re-conquer them all and win.

thats why i don't understand why people will buy a game and then immediately look for cheats. It seems pointless to me to cheat because then its way to easy.

I don't care how difficult they make the game on the higher difficulty levels as long as lousey players like me can win at a low level.
My all time favorite game is SMAC. I had to play a lot of games at citizen level to get to the point I could win on Transcend and I only did it a couple of times just to say I did it.
