my longest civilization was the nopsjon they got wiped out by just a volcanic winter even though they already had invented FREAKING NUKES
That's nothing... I had a SPACE FARING civilization that got the "Your STONE TOOLS are so effective the so-and-so wild beast was hunted to extinction, causing the collapse of your civilization due to food shortages." Come ON. With genetics, computers, even just basic agriculture this species ditched their stone tools ages ago and had no reliance on hunting. This is a BUG. If it helps (either debugging, or players trying to survive), one unusual thing about this species is they never developed fishing. So maybe that's the underlying cause. Still, it's pretty unrealistic and should be fixed. Only example I could find though, of totally blatant breaking of the suspension of disbelief... so thumbs up on an overall awesome game and one of my all time favorites in the genre!
