the silent war, and probe team useage.
Hi there!
In my current game as the peace keepers, I became more proficient with my probe team useage with more practice. Against chairman yang, the teams (I only had three back then, too busy with base improvement) disabled their perimeter defense before each of my base assualts. Against Mirmam, their energy droped to 50 and all production halted. After eliminating Yang, Mirmam, and Zak who stolen my Industrial Automatum, I secured the land mass by myself (in huge map, north eastern main land). Then I went probe team heavy against the Gaians across the ocean. With two fusion destroyers and 14 probe teams, I ferry them across the ocean each turn to harrass our lady friend.
Then I tried some thing new:
With all the elite squards, I drop 12 probe teams near one of the most populated Gaian base (with 14 pop) and began their random (without objective) sabortage. After all the probe teams are through with the city, it had all of its facilities destroyed (most important, rec common, holo theater, recy tank and tree farm). Then the effect is quite funny, that base had -5 nutrient shortfall, massive drone riot (7 drones vs 1 talent). I then repeacted the process to the rest of their major cities... they never did recover from that. 5 turns later (now) I now want to mind control their bases and found that I would have to pick up the mess (resource shortfall, drone riot, populated base with no facility)... now I am anxious to wait for them to build up their facilities before mind controling it... however the drone riots caused their production to stop... guess I shouldn't hit them so hard.
Now comes a poll: what is your favorite probe team action against a hostile faction? Sometimes I drain energy, or stop production. However the most effective city buster would be a 12 probe team massive sabrotage.
Also, what is the difference between total thought control and the plain mc? Is it that the city's owning faction won't go hostile against the city's new owner?
