Noticed how the AI Civs are sharper now. In my new game I was barely started, searching for planets (there were very few habitable) and before I knew it, a Civ declared war on me and invaded with an invasion ship.
I hadn`t even bothered with the Universal Translater yet!
He took that world leaving me with one!
Normally, the AI is never this quick or sharp!
Also, when a Civ declares war on you, but you don`t have the Universal Translater, I think you should not be told that war has been declared until your first ship or planet is attacked.
