Ok, after fixing my wife's fiasco and reinstalling TWGS (ver .56) I banged 4 games. No internal aliens, just gold aliens. In Game A the races are NOT active though they are set to be but their homeworlds appeared in the game. In the other 3 games, all is well.

I checked the alien manager and for Game A it reads: No active Gold Alien races. Set race to active in TEDIT Gold Alien Editor. Well, I checked TEDIT, Gold Alien Races and both are set to active. Can someone offer suggestions as to what I might have missed?

Ahab,

I would suggest checking to see how many days until aliens first appear and in what number. Also check to see how many days until at full strength. If I remember right the default for aliens first appearing is like 10 days or something. That should be the first tab under alien editor. Hope that helps.

I just went in to the game in question and lo and behold, they ARE active now. It must have been a simple setting that I missed. I'd checked all that and the aliens were set to come in 0 days. Had the others set that way and they all came in the first day so it must have been a setting I missed.

Appreciate the answer though and will keep it in mind for next (hopefully a long way down the road) time.

I noticed that the Gold Aliens don't actually activate until the first player enters. At least that's what's been happening to me. When I first started editing Gold Aliens, I would check their status after rebang, but I never entered the game. Then, lo, I entered the game to take a look at them myself, and when I went to the tedit they were active.
