Various tips

- Why do Rover based units go further on a river than Infantry based units? -

The units aren't actually swimming in the river, but using the valley as a much smoother and easier route to follow than "cross country" though the rocks and craters of Planet's surface.

Ro, ro, ro-ver boat
Gently down the stream
Warily, warily, warily, warily,
Mindworms make you scream!

USC,

This is why I quite often don't use the third or sixth move on a river when I'm to enter a fungus square ...

Nice poem, though

[Hippi]

I usually make more than 2 base

The itsy bitsy rover drove 'long the watercourse
Down rained the spores, and so without remorse
Out came the guns to make that launcher die
Then the itsy bitsy rover rode 'long another day

(...which reminds me of a nice nonsequitur that me and one of my partners in improv crime once said during one of our lost tape sessions:

"Slant rhyme, slant rhyme , that's what it wuz,
Slant rhyme, slant rhyme, I like that lemon-lime fuzz!"

Yes, the poem's last rhyme above is not even a slant rhyme, whereas the weird quote uses a perfect rhyme to talk about slant rhyme, but... well, somehow, that feels like it makes sense. Must be that lemon-lime fuzz.)

I really want to know :

a)What lemon-lime fuzz is
b)What drugs you take
c)Where I can buy them

"Slant rhyme, slant rhyme , that's what it wuz,
Slant rhyme, slant rhyme: it is; it isn't; who cares"

[Pandemoniak]

"Slant rhyme, slant rhyme , that's what it wuz,
Slant rhyme, slant rhyme: who pushed that buzz ?

a) I'm assuming that, even if you've been to the US (not THAT unlikely, but...), you don't recall lemon-lime. It's a flavor, kind of like, well, lemon and lime mixed together. Lemon-lime fuzz, um, well, RHYMEZ WITH "WUZ!" Which is its major selling point. Doesn't sound very appetizing, though.

b) Now: The ones you think, but not very often (it would inhibit my SMAC skills). Then: none, none needed. You were 17 once too, you remember...

c) Market conditions widely vary from place to place. I suggest you contact a local expert.

Now it's time (12:47 AM) for Badgermanlyricsfromsomeonewhodoesn'tspeakgerman (as the Germans would say) hour!

Wir fahr'n an dem Flussufer entlang
Vor uns liegt Maiglöckchental
Die Sonne scheint mit Bedrohlichstrahl
Der Wasserlauf ist ein graues Band
Rote Streifen, roter Rand
Jetzt schalten wir die Commlinks an
Aus dem Lautsprecher klingt es dann:
Wir fahr'n an dem Flussufer entlang...

I have recently developped this new strategy:

send in wave after wave of cheap units like scout patrols and formers. Colony pods can work as well.

Then the enemy faction gets bored and surrenders. This works because you can easily overpower any army by having sufficent amounth of units.

Naming a wasteland after a rival faction leader can also work. It will make them sad and force them so surrender.

that's sneaky

[Adalbertus]

UnityScoutChopper, Thisisaverynicepoemwhichilikealot, as I'm obliged to say as a German. "Bedrohlichstrahl" is a beautiful, even expressionistic invention.

Tell me you are not joking for I AM going to try that.
