The same thing happened to me is a game I am playing with my friend. I found out that the AI had ended my treities and even declared War on some of the other players.

You will probably also find a lot of new ship designs. You may want to check all of your ships and fleets and planets for strange orders.

We ended up treating the event as a "temporary hostile takeover" of my empire.
After having the trators rounded up, tried, and Shot! I returned to Power and spent the next several turns remaking treaties and re-ordering my ships.

Needless to say I really make it a point to get my order in on time!

Isn't there something like a NoAI mod? Sounds like an absoulte must to me

After all, missing a turn can happen to everyone, shouldn't be punishable by AI-induced death to the empire.

Yes. Good idea.
Javaslinger, if the game is using no mod right now. You should ask game owner to have an PBW admin apply the noAI mod to the game. This prevents most of the AI screw ups.

I create my empire with the following minister option selected - "AI Should not make changes to the empire during a Simultaneous Game".

I do this by loading a game with the empire I am going to use , going into ministers and selecting the Last option on the list and Then saving my empire again.

As far as I can tell I have never had the AI take over like that since I started doing this.

I was of the understanding that the No-AI mod is not neaded anymore becuase of this and originated because this did not used to work (now it does) The annoying thing is that this option defaults to being turned off.
