I would rather buy a missile, six on attack unit, if they can sell it.

Now we are thinking really creatively.

And as for the cash. If making with Spartans good relations would cost us some energy I would do it compared to rushing and loosing troops at this stage of the game coz of war with them.

[GeoModder]

Yeah, was just giving an example regarding the weapon.

One thing tho. If we and they agree on an arms deal, I don't think that received units from the Spartans with a high morale will have the same as they transfered to us.

[Mart]

Yes, they will get adjustment, I think. We are not very high morale at the moment. Wealth setting...

[Hercules]

I am ok with loaning money to the Spartans but I am not sure about buying gatling or missile rovers from them.

That would be too much like tempting fate.
Yessir Col Googlie just leave those 12 elite missile rovers over there next door to Heavens Gate.

[Hercules]

What would be useful to know is which Uni bases have probes in them.

[GeoModder]

It's an AI faction, I would be surprised to find strong probes there, if any.

And there's no reason to let possible purchases be dropped on the doorstep of one of our bases. We still got a whole peninsula on the west where a deal can be transfered to us.

[Mart]

We got a hint from Morganities, that Spartans can keep their probes on tiles near Zakharov bases. I would not be surprised to find some on key points, efectively obstruct the best access trails.

The bad side of any loan here is that once you borrow, you can declare vendetta and then you do not need to pay. We can only hope, Spartans will not use this strategy.

I have also similar thoughts about missile units. If we get SFF next turn, then we rather can spend these several minerals more on our prototype. Impact or gatling unit would be then a waste of energy

Morgan Pact:

With G pacted to M then if we pact with G we are indirectly pacted with M.

Spartans:

Help them and our military by buying some stuff fton them.

Message received. What makes you think that those deployments you mention would affect the Data Angels and are not for invading your faction?

IT GeoModder

Those forces are for invading us.

In the short term they will affect you fishing expeditions. In the long term (7/8 turns) they will descend upon you. They will attack us, then you, then Gaia. They'll contain the Hive and get around to the PK when its convienent for them.

We do have a map of their territory. It's worrisome.

PS
One thing I forgot to mention regarding their Elite rovers. In addition to being able to move 3 turns, they also have multible attack. It's kinda like choppers.

On the sound of this PM, they expect to be gone before the decade is over. So we could see some Morgan bases conquered or obliterated when we have the turn again.

If this is the case, then I don't really understand why the Spartans didn't hold on the PTS base. They might have lost a tech or two on possible probe rapes, but it would freed other bases from those probe defenders for next years attack. And I can't believe the Morgans would have had enough cash to mindprobe a base back when a lot of military units where in it.

[Hercules]

I still think our own strategy as set out in the Nexus thread is a good one. Also Doc Air is not far away. But I suppose we will have to build more sentinels around the coast as well.

[FlameFlash]

A beeline to Doc: Air might not be a bad idea...

Get the SAM planes up and running, while there's a negative to them attacking ground/sea units they serve a good double duty.

[GeoModder]

In any case, it's running behind the Spartans in this matter. They probably already have some in the field.

[FlameFlash]

probes, planes, or rovers?

(Sorry, couldn't help the reference to the movie Planes, Trains, & Automobiles)

[GeoModder]

All of them, no doubt.
