    • No Ships Left Condition

      Is there a way to get the No Ships Left condition to work? Exactly 3 seconds after I start a scenario using this condition it either makes me win or makes the computer win before a single ship is destroyed.

      As far as I know, no. I hope someone out there knows 'cause i wanted to use that condition.

      I got a reply from Nathan Lamont about it:

      I have found a bug in Ares 1.2.0B5. When you use a "No Ships Left"
      condition, it activates 3 seconds after the level starts, before even 1 ship
      is destroyed!

      This condition can't be initially active, otherwise it will be triggered
      when the scenario begins.

      To use it properly, have it initially inactive. Use another time-based
      condition to turn it on after some time.

      If you could pass this info on to the "Engineering" area of the web board,
      I'd appreciate it.

      Initially inactive, then make a timer >1 condition to AlterTrueYet on it.

      More fun: to have to capture multiple planets: a condition for each, where all but one is inactive. Then, AlterTrueYet in a chain, until the last met condition wins the scenario.
