Reasons to Band with CPU and go against the Drones:
* This is a Democracy game. It is all about interacting with other players both in your own team and with other teams in the game. To let a player who runs his faction as a PBEM win is just wrong.
* Honour. How much do you get if you pick on someone only when you have the support of the largest faction in the game? A faction that could arguably hold its own against the combined forces of every other faction. None, I hear you say? Correct.
* A win that will earn the Hive respect. The Hive wants to win the game, yes. But there is no glory in winning by "being picked by Buster" as the faction he wanted to coop-win with.
* Making an interesting game. Remove CPU and this game will be very dull indeed - not just for CPU players but for everyone who isn't Buster. Victory won't be assured, but if achieved will be all the sweeter.
* Roleplaying. Our active roleplaying will suddenly and almost totally be removed should we cease to exist.
Reasons for the Hive to attack CPU instead:
* You win a coop with Buster, assuming he allows you to remain in the game.
* You don't put yourself at much risk by warring against a faction facing this sudden onslaught.
Tass: Don't close this thread. This could very well decide the fate of the rest of this ACDG, and while tempers may get aroused slightly this is a conversation that needs to take place.
