Leaders recruited from the assign governor list do not get discounts applied so are much more expensive

Do you mean those wasteland tile or do you mean the truly excess tiles? Since space on a planet that is not land would be water, that makes since.

I really wish they would eliminate wasteland tiles.

I get you. I agree, but no game that I know of does that except for the Civilization series.

I'm not sure if I've reported this before, but here it is anyway.

I'm playing as the Drath Freehold.  When I research Xeno Mysticism, it claims it allows construction of the Social Matrix.  It doesn't yet, but I don't consider that to be a problem in this alpha.

The problem is that the Social Matrix is reported to be for Altarians.  Since I'm not Altarian, should Altarians be used here?  Maybe use Altarians and Drath or maybe something else?

Maybe it should say all Ancient races?

Another Drath typo in Command Ships.

itmay should be it may.

Since players seem to be confused about how to tell the status of possible choices on the Ideology Screen, I am providing this example, from an actual game.

Mobility Rights in Liberty has been already selected, i.e. a Culture Point has been spent on it. None of the others have taken/chosen.

The way to tell is non selected ones have a Black Background in the Name Button that gives the name of the Ideology, while the already selected Ideology (Mobility Rights) has a brighter colored background in the Name Button.

The ideologies that you do not have enough choices in to choose them, are the bottom ones that are a lot darker, i.e. Watchful, Conscription, and Dangerous on the Authority (left) side, and Private Ownership and Enterprise on the Liberty (right) side.

You can select (or choose) any of the brightly lit Names that have a black background in the Name Button.

Thanks for walking us through the bug you're running into. I've passed this along to the team.

Thanks gypsy! I'm the newest producer at Stardock. I was added to the GalCiv team back in November. I came out of the Sins modding community and I'm excited to be here.

I had that stuck turn or one similar to it many times in that game.  The only thing I could do was close GC4.  After restarting GC4 and loading the autosave, I could play the game and continue past where the stuck turn occurred without a problem.  This was the first time it kept happening.  I knew that was the time to report it and include the save that reproduced it.

I know how much the devs like having a save that reliably reproduces problems like this so the problem can be fixed, and I like having problems like this fixed, so I do my part by furnishing saves like this.

The odd thing is, after making the report, I loaded a save from 11 turns earlier so I could try something I wanted to test.  I did a lot of things differently.  When I got to the turn where it always stuck, it didn't.
