  • What should be the purpose of the rest of this game?

    Personally I think that if the Hive-Drones declare war now, that we stand no chance to win at all. So an in-game victory can then no longer be the goal of this ACDG. I was therefore wondering, what do people see what should be our goal for the rest of the game if we face a Hive-Drone declaration of war? Survive as long as possible in-game, roleplay by giving war reports presenting Hive-Drones as evil agressors, or something else?

    Survive as long as we can + roleplay. What else? ;(

      What else? We can't just simply give up.
      It might be hard to fight a losing war, but at least we can do it honorable.

                            If it turns out we can't win, then I'd use Laz's tactic, try to destroy the planet. There are many last gasp efforts, such as nerve gas from 'copters, Planet Busters, raising the sea, etc. that would at least be fun. Also, a well placed PB or two may be enough to swing a war our way. Build 4 or 5, maybe with crawlers quickly, then hit their major bases.

                            If all else fails, die trying, but I'm not ready to go yet. We have a chance, a good chance, due to distance. If they try to attack, sea level rise, nerve gas, etc. Just take them out as much as possible.

                              I think we still have a desent chance, oure superior Credit Production along with the MCC can make us a very tricky oponent even against the combined might of the Hive and Drones. What we do in the next Decade will be of critical importance.
