It the senario they propose, with Neural Grafting from us and D:AP probed from the Hive, will they be in position to go for MMI and the CBA? Maybe this is their hidden agenda.

BTW CBA has been destroyed/disallowed. I say we publicly buy into their panic, and say - oh my god we've got to stop Sparta - we'll do anything to help you Morgan. Please give us your techs and some cash for a NN and we'll hook up the AA and start researching NG for you. We can even offer to probe Hive for AP as well. All that's what we _tell_ them. What we actually do though is maybe we give them one of the techs (say D:AP - or some weaker of that one and the one from the AA) They're panicing enough for us to take advantage of their genorisity. I'm not quite sure how to keep friendly with Morgan/DA after such an advantage taking, but I'm sure we've got some diplomats here who could talk their way through this.Last edited by freshman; March 16, 2005, 20:13.-freshmanComment

If, like, anyone ever comes to this forum.... From what I know, the Spartan Vendetta with Morgan has been extended to Gaia. We have two wars, I believe.Comment

Oh, that is good to know. Has anyone played the turn yet and confirmed the Vendetta?

Trigger point was - they were trying to slip units throught to our mainland, which our foil blocked, so they had to attack from North.-- What history has taught us is that people do not learn from history.

I had earlier proposed to Gaia that we give you all of our tech, you give us all of your tech, we loan you enough cash to rush a net node for the artifact you have you share that tech with us, then we rush a net node for the artifact we have and we share that tech with you. This way we could really leapfrog tech wise. Gaia didn't respond so I thought you were not interested
I have not been that active with the game recently (having thought that Sparta already won it) but I can check with my team to see if they are still interested.

PS
BTW We expect to acquire DAP very shortly. If so, I believe that would be included in the techs we would share with you.

I am not sure all this is worth the effort unless we can get the DA to cooperate with the 3 way pact to try to counter the Spartans.Comment

Forgive my ignorance, but my wife has been particularly busy, and having to chase a 3 and a 1 year old around has left me no time to game, but.....
I know understand we are now in a Pact with the Morganites. As such we have their map and can see there city production and such. If they really are in as much trouble as they claim, then we should actively court the DA to join us. It would be as much in there own good as ours.
If we can get D:AP from one of them, we can keep air patrols out looking for (and sinking) incoming transports and gun ships. That will keep the pressure off having to build a large defense."They’re lazy troublemakers, and they all carry weapons." - SMAC Manual, Page 59 Regarding Drones

The Spartans' transports can move so fast (7 tiles), that we'll have a hard time picking them off en route. However, a few planes, mixed with other forces, could really hurt invading Spartan troops. Keep in mind that although their troops are better than ours by a lot, we should still be able to win most attacks in the open, and we have an industry edge of two or three points."Cutlery confused Stalin"

True, but if we have each city build 2 jets each and put them on rotating patrols, straight out and back in the direction of the most likely strike points, will cover ourselves in the most efficient manner. Fission jets have a range of 12, right? Then assume 2 tiles to reach the shore, plus the 7 tiles a Spartan transport can cover.....that still leaves us a 3 tile discovery zone. Not a lot, but enough to find em and sink em.Last edited by livid imp; April 5, 2005, 10:08."They’re lazy troublemakers, and they all carry weapons." - SMAC Manual, Page 59 Regarding Drones

Well, that'll have to do then, we could still get lucky. Anything we take down in the water, are forces we don't have to face on land when they can fight back."They’re lazy troublemakers, and they all carry weapons." - SMAC Manual, Page 59 Regarding Drones

So tell them that we're interested? That what you guys think?Comment

Yes, let's get all the tech we can gather in order to combat Sparta.Comment

But there's a problem, we need to work it out as we Angels proposed - we get EnvEcon from DA and SFF from Morgan, then we research D:AP and give to both.
The point is we don't have an AA anymore to execute the plan above - I already said, I used the AA for prototyping Plasma.-- What history has taught us is that people do not learn from history.
