In the last galaxy we only knew the Trading Federation/Eye had all three key planets cos one of them announced it in thr forums. However, i didnt spot it till far to late - not that i could of done anything anyway - and even though i went on a crazed killing spree against the TF/Eye it was to ne end...
Is there anyway an announcement that the game will end in 300 turns if no-one does anything to prevent it can appear when the win condition is first acheived?
Thanks!

This issue has to sides. One is yours - you've noticed too late that guardian planets were occupied. The second is that TF/Eye would like this information to be secret as long as possible.
So we should see what other people think about it.

I think it's only fair that we have a notification.. I'm a player in the newbie galaxy.. and I also have an empire in the advanced galaxy (hopefully I can survive there  ).. and.. in the last round, my alliance ALMOST got the three guardian planets.. we demolished them, but colonizing them was something else..
Anyways... it wouldn't have been any fun if no one knew about it.. SURe we would've won.. but only because no one else had any idea that we had taken over the guardian planets.. I think that we should have a notification..
And maybe some 'extra' benefits to the people who conquered and colonized the guardian planets? ..

I agree, there should be notification. The point of having to hold the key planets for 300 turns is to give others a chance of preventing the victory, not? To make sure the winner is someone who is not only strong enough to take these planets, but also strong enough to defend them against determined attacks from the rest of the players. So a notification would reinforce the original intentions with this victory condition.
BTW I fully expect to be defending these key planets myself, so this opinion is not biased by my own self-interest

In Virgo, we occupied those guardian palnets too late to claim victory, so perhaps something could be introduced like: if all the guardian planets are owned by an alliance/player the arena continues until 1 of the planets is taken over by someone else -> "end of arena victory" OR until the 300 turn limit is reached by the particular alliance/player -> "guardian planets victory"
