hehe seems I locked my world in eternal civ phase due to the fact I killed all the villages on my continent. So not enough cities formed for me to win the stage. I won the stage with the fanatic uprising. It just wont let me go to the next phase due to insufficent cities. Talk about aggravating and hilarious!  Ironically its the first time I went for a pure religious win, which wasnt easy on hard for some reason. Now I realize I just didnt have the manpower due to not having enough troops. Since I was the only city on my continent.

  I just wanted to see if Im right but you cant seem to get a Religious Herbivore Trader?
I was figuring on making a race of giant monk hippos which trade spice. Seems to me though that since if your Herbivore you have one green and you cant be religious in Civ since thats two blues and two greens. Any way around it which doesn't involve a cheat which takes away the ability of achievements? I suppose I could just roleplay being religious..

 I'm getting really tired of seeing my own ships used by aliens. Is there any way to stop this from happening? I deleted them from the sporepedia. Deleted them from my document folders. Yet they keep popping up. Id say 70 percent of the time.. Super weird considering how many ships are in my folders.

I have a few questions. First are any achievements such that if you dont play one level, you cant get another. Well besides gaming god. That one is obvious. Secondly, if I dont play from cell to civ and just made a creature at civ, could it survive without the traits given each stage. Such as what you get for being a ominivore? Im basically torn. Every night I want to make a race and play from civ to space. But I want a new creature. I cant see playing with one without any traits though. Figured it would just die.
Mind you I could just start with a older race but I dont want to. Any answers are welcome. Oh and just passed the 200 hour mark! WOHOO! Still going strong! Oh oh and found a planet with red soil and a red ocean with all fire planets and a habitable moon around a gas giant as my home system! Sheer beauty!

  Am I the only one who hates the crab claws and gears planets? Ive blown up 290 of them so far. These fantasy planets make me sick. Maybe its a obsessive compulsive thing because for the most part the game rocks.

 As a mildly obsessive compulsive person I spend no less then a hour looking for a good earthlike planet now. Maybe longer. Theres no way to blow up a planet before I colonize it to cycle through them tell I get one without claws. For some reason 9/10ths of my planets have claws or gears. All I want is a gosh darn mound of rocks, heck obsidian, mushroom trees. Any of those I can stand. Love even... Sigh, anyways just had to vent, its ruining my experience having to make planets for so long. Not to mention I cant save a ****ing planet! I mean for god sake, if I make a good one and if by some mistake I forget to put a ominivore mouth in cell and save later, then Im screwed, planets dead. I mean when you have something that prohibits your entire species development because you cant back up. PISSING ME OFF!

 By the way... I LOVE SPORE! Lol Im usually the positive one. Thats why this is buggering me so bad.

 I was just curious. If I attain a achievement it shows up on my website forever. So once I achieve all that can be done say in Cell phase, if I didnt play it and skipped to creature, would the lack of completing the achievements in that specific game effect other achievements. Phew that was long winded. Basically Id like to take one of my premade creatures and skip cell. I just dont want to miss out on future achievements because I skipped a stage. A answer would be greatly appreciated.

 After a little digging it seems indeed that if you skip Cell you will be less powerful. Since Cell gives you skills all the way through. I guess I cant really skip ahead. The same part is my Ahuljahni , Zhani in short, were so hard to model Ive never been able to remake it. Sigh
