I have a strange thing happen.

well into the game, all my cities go away and I am left with a couple of colony pods and other units.

I went back to a previous saved game (several actually) and it still happens.

ANy solutions?

This situation happens when an AI attempts to free a captured leader, but "frees" you instead! The result is that your faction respawns as you described. This bug is fixed in version 2.x of scient's unofficial patch. From the readme for that patch:

"[BUG][SMACX] After the AI successfully completes the probe action of freeing a captured faction leader, it would instead reset a non-captured faction. The problem was that AI would always try to free the first faction, usually being the PC, regardless of whether this faction was eliminated or not. Now it will obtain all the potential captured faction leaders and free one randomly."

Thank you. It does not seem to work on saved games. The problem still happened.

Probably have to use the editor to fix your saved game then .... Edit yourself an Elite probe team in every city!
"no further score will be added"
