I said that around 8 hours before you checked his away status.

In a MP game you actually can't cede bases as you can in SP games. If you wish to do so a faction must vacate its base(s) and the faction taking over have to occupy the base(s), declaring vendetta while they are at it.

It is a long and tiresome process if ceding more than one base. If ceding all the bases, the surrendering faction cease after self destructing their own last base.

Herc: I was unaware we were using the rule of not ceding bases? I'm aware you can't cede your last, but I thought all others were allowed?

I may be wrong though

Actually, I really should

It's not a typo though. Since I never needed to spell it before, I presumed it would be like the usual English, where a long e sound is spelt as a double e, as in speed or need, whereas a single is, and in fled, is pronounced as a short e.

I typo less when drunk

I, for one, welcome the arrival of our new cybernetic lab rats friends.

I agree with those assessment that such "unification" benefits CPU in research and social engineering settings in that CPU can face less reseach costs when leapfroging researching and can benefit from different SE settings. The benefit is somewhat unbalanced compare to the real unifications of two teams, ie. when two teams becomes one, have one capital and one symbol. Also Hercules was right in saying that in MP one team cannot gift a base to anther team. The only thing you can do is to let the other team invade it and there will be costs associated with such invasion. The CPU "unification" appearantly has avoided this consequence.

Also, the CPU "unification" also appears to be superior to a permanant pact to the CyCons. In a perm pact the PUT will still have its own will and rans its own bases (and may even want to backstab and abandon the perm pact in a future time). While in our case the PUT bases are actually run by the CyCons and the CCs do not have to worry about anything that can rise inside the PUT. However, I believe this is similar to the case in an SP game when a faction surrender to another faction. You would be able to do the same thing above and the submissive faction will do whatever you want it to do. As long as the PUT members agrees, I do not think other teams can do anything about it.

In other words, I believe that although it is pretty tough for other teams, it is a truth that they have to face, and it's not something that is not allowed by the game rules.

Oh well... looks like we're stuck with CyUni forever then

Keep in mind that PUT bases don't get the advantages of CyCon secret projects, so it's not like it are all advantages. A real unification into one faction would probably also be more advantagous for us for this reason (shared SP benefits), if it weren't for the fact that bases can't be traded between human players except by conquest (with heavy pop and infrastructure loss...)

[Snowflake]

I agree that's true too. Although to benefit from a CC SP would mean not benefiting from PUT's free nodes ...

But yes you are right. Anything has two sides.

[Jamski]

The effic bonus from splitting the bases between two factions is the killer.
