I got bored with my curent game. I'd probably win, but I was at war with everyone and I didn't want to go through the long and dreary process of eliminating Yang who was number 2 on the scale.
New game, talent level, random huge map. Found myself alone on a decent sized chunk of land. Spread out rapidly. Things were fine. Built the empath guild and tried to make nice with folks.
Everyone hated me. Not all declared vendetta, but it was obvious the UoP wasn't popular. Lal, my closest neighbor declared vendetta. Fine. Crushing him would be a good diversion. Miriam and Cha didn't like me but stayed out of my way. Deidre was in *****y mood but signed a treaty. Morgan at first was cool, but then decided he hated me. Fine.
Then I get the message that Morgan is going to corner the market in 20 years. Oh great. He's on the other side of the world!
And then EVERYONE teams up against me!
And then rogue IoD's kill my two captured IoD's that I was going to use to try and get to Morgan. (No one has D:I yet.)
Get the idea that the AI has stacked everything against me? I get the idea that as soon as I build some transports and launch them Lal will be ready to blow them away before they get to Morgan. I also looked in Morgan's HQ. He has about ten synthmetal guys in there! Probably more.
So any force I can muster and maaaaybe get to him without incident will probably die in the effort.
Its late and I have to get some sleep, but I hate to give up. Still, i'd hate to spend an hour or so playing when I I'm almost assured that no matter what the AI will conjure up a sealurk to destroy my meager fleet that probably can't win anyway. Maybe tomorrow I'll continue....maybe I'll start a new game.
And if I do start a new game I will make it a point to crush Morgan like a bug just for ruining this game for me. (I shoulda disabled "economic victory")
Death to the Morganites! Burn their cities and make flutes from their bones! ('tis a dream I have) The only good morganite is a DEAD morganite!
