hohiro: Bug in new Version 1.50.6 i haven`t seen before.
A clone of Trilar planet is in Geph system, but not accessible (see
). It should be a toxic planet belonging to Meklars (see [url=https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/88142565/SAVE2.GAM]here)
This nasty bug has now been fixed with the 1.50.6.1 hotfix
srhill: I'm able to mind control Elerian colonies after the Elerians surrendered to another race.
EDIT: Also, I was able to sign a peace treaty with a race that won the galactic election after I refused to accept the ruling. (And by "won," I mean that
I won and turned down the office, because that's boring.) I didn't know that was even possible, and in MOO1, I'm fairly certain that it's not.
Once the Elerian population is no longer part of the Elerian Empire, they also loose their resistence to mind control.
In general, conquered population keep the following traits: growth, food, production and science bonus (but not money) and special abilities low-g / high-g, aquatic, subterranean, tolerant, lithovore, cybernetic.
About you defying the council win, did you win the vote or another race?
