I've noticed several times that one of my opponants finds a powerful artifact, according to the text it makes them stronger in several ways each day and so that race must be destroyed. What does it actually do? I've tried to find it in the xml files but have yet to locate it, also has anyone had this themselves rather than an opponant?

Adds a point to a random stat every turn. No, the player can't get it.

I believe the "Taranthional" er however it is spelled, gives the opener a slowly increased, production, research, military (both shipboard and soldering) capabilites. I suspect but have never proven that it also gives economic growth, however, by the time it can kick in, unless its damn early in the game this Kat has learned that the race that did it is now assigned the tag:

Master 1...

Please see post number 14 of "Prydean Military History - A Kat's Eyes View" if you need help in understanding what happens to things designated master numbers.

check the flavor text for that event. "The waining empire of...." i've had that event happen several times, but the bonuses have never been enough to make any sort of difference in the game.
