Reply to What? No military? in Twilight of the Arnor GalCiv2 Forums

Just found this old topic. I noticed this same problem in almost every game in TA 2.02 I've played.

Planetary invasions, e.g. would be finished after about 19 turns early on, but that increases to about 50 pretty fast. Probably explains why some opponents in my games sometimes don't have any m
