Troll Kon, breaks the spaceship launching AI.

That realization that you've been trolled by the undisputed master.

The whole last act of the game was sublime. Charlemagne came within FIVE TILES of winning by domination and somehow lost the space race despite Wang Kon researching artillery for no reason. Just an incredible troll job by the master, and an incredible series of self owns by Charlemagne.

Eh, I don't think anything was meant or intended by trait selection. I think they just wanted to put in a bunch of leaders with the new trait, and a bunch more asian leaders due to them being underrepresented, and as such the categories overlapped because they both happened at the same time. Simply a coincidence.

I wonder if there's a possibility that Wang Kon sabotaged Charlie's second engine? Because the explanation that Charlie launched the spaceship on one engine by mistake doesn't seem plausible. Unless it's a known bug

In any case, Wang Kon played the end game brilliantly, as only the Ultimate Troll can

I experience a lot of 1 engine spaceships sent and they always win the game in 11 turns instead of 10, I don't know why, but I'm guessing they do that in order to launch before an enemy AI. And in only 1 game of my entire civ4 experience I saw an AI sent it with 4 thrusters and won in like 15 turns in advance but I can't remember exact turn number in that case. 

But of course sabotage is also high likely. I can't remember what turn Charlemagne sent his spaceship. We should check the events log. I can't remember him sending, video was laggy (bad connection).

Charlie launched on his T359, notification appeared on player's turn T360. He had both engines in production and scheduled to finish on the turn he launched. That's why I suspect one ended up sabotaged

Wang Kon launched 2 turns later, with notification on T362. If Charlie launched a fully completed spaceship, he would've won T369

@yuris125
It sounds like we should dig through the post game save file to see what happened.

If you have the saves from the turns around the launch, you can see if any EP was spent.

Also ... doesn't the victory screen give turns to arrival after you have launched?  If so, we could look at those for the AIs too.

Do you guys think the ending was better if BurgerKing threw the game via production queue glitch or if Wang Kon intentionally won a last minute sabotage roll?

Seems to me Wang Kon doing the last minute troll would be the better storyline, but #AlphaCentauriWasAnInsideJob is kinda good too.
