Believer Diplomatic Exchanges

[Maniac]

Important news! Using the presend save I contacted Miriam and she demanded SFF from me. And I had the option to ask Ecological Engineering in return!
This of course partly explains the Hive's willingness to trade us Ecological Engineering.
If we can't reach a deal with Archaic on EcoEng, any idea on how we should acquire EcoEng from the Believers? Try to steal it from them or trade with them?

[Nubclear]

The question I would ask is: Could you win a war against Miriam?
If so, the second question I would ask is: Do you like throwing away ECs?

[Maniac]

Hmm, then we should go to war with the Believers first instead of the Angels (at least if Archaic doesn't want to trade).

[Impaler[WrG]]

I assume Miraiam Refuses to trade.

I had alwys been in favor of attacking Miriam (I do that in all my games) she is close by and has a large pice of territory.

But I think stealing it with Probe teams is a better bet right now. Unfortunatly our Probe Foil is very far away, we should produce another soon or perhaps some Probe Teams and another Transport.

If you do attack Miriam, there is only one request I make of you:
Rename their best city to Salt Lake City and their worst to Logan

[Maniac]

It seems we should start a serious probe training program, as we have lots of things to do: Infiltrate the Drones, Angels and Believers, and lesser importance as we're currently pacted: the Hive and PUT. Secondly some tech assimilation: EcoEng from Miriam, and we might try to return the Drones the favour they did to PUT and steal some techs from them as well.

and with an extra command center stronger probes can be build

About returning the favour to the drones, won't they declare vendetta on us then as well?
But, if the trick mentioned by you and more or less confirmed by Laurentius goes through, it's almost a necessity. We're getting way behind that way...

Indeed. Btw, what do you think about building some probes in Triplex as I proposed in the EAF thread?

Yes, but what would be the difference with our current diplomatic relation to the Drones? We aren't cooperating at all anyway, and they're attacking our PUT allies.

I favor infiltrating everyone! Knowlage is Power!

We have done quite well so far at stealing tecnology from others, no reason to stop now.
