Mr President - is that a Serra Angel in your avatar?

Thankfully, I don't believe I've ever been in a PB war. I've certainly never started one, except just to see what they did, and I don't think the AI's ever hit me either. Nor have I ever seen an asteroid strike. Odd that.The church is the only organisation that exists for the benefit of its non-members

Chowlett - Well spotted.
It's the Alpha version; I downloaded her picture from the Wizards website, cut and pasted, and here we are.

Back on the topic, I've only ever been hit by an asteroid once. It was really nasty. It took out three bases and gave every base on the planet -1 energy each square because of dust clouds.

Just about every AI faction builds at least one PB, Sanctions or no. I usually try to interrupt construction. Just in case.
My current game Yang nuked one of my little bases. He keeps trying to get everybody to lift sanctions and so far only Meriam has gone for it.
I got the asteroid once. Ever since I always play with survey and then I check to make sure the telltale signs of the Garland Crater are there.

WHat? So asteroids can't happen if the crater already exists??? Is this true????I got the asteroid once. Ever since I always play with survey and then I check to make sure the telltale signs of the Garland Crater are there.

No, Cybergod.
The asteroid strike creates another Garland Crater in addition to the one already there from the beginning of the game.
In one particularly long-lasting game I played, there were four Garland Craters at the end - the original and three from asteroids. That same game had so many meteor showers destroying solar collectors that I thought for sure I would see some hidden event like a wayward comet hit the planet and end the game outright.I am on a mission to see how much coffee it takes to actually achieve time travel.

Same goes for volcanoes too. You might see 2 or 3 mount planets.

If you change one parameter in alpha.txt, the obliteration won't count as an atrocity. When I played SMAC, I even changed the text that appears upon obliteration. For example, instead ofOriginally posted by Chowlett
Remember, however, that it's an atrocity unless the charter is repealed, and if performed against another faction's citizens they will hate you forever.
"60.000 Hive citizens were murdered"
it read
"60.000 Hive citizens were expelled".
Unfortunately I didn't figure out the way to get rid of the nasty picture that also appears on the message. This picture gives me cramps and makes me feel very guilty.

Mr. President, your avatar gives me the wrong image about you. For some reason, i think of some french woman carrying a flag. And I usually (in my head) have people be represented by your avatar.

How do you know that's the wrong image of him? Maybe he really IS a French Flag Lady!

Ooops!
Sorry, I had the luck of never being hit by an asteroid in all my gaming life (but I had my bases completelly destroyed by locusts, killed off by a plague, nuked by the enemy, and had Planet pop-up a volcano (which didn't have a name, so no 2 Mount Planets))...

Well, I've seen a map generated with 2 volcanos, and I've seen volcanos appear. But the game I got an asteroid there was no Garland Crater before I got swatted.
I thought it was dumb because a crater that big would make the Xichulub (spelling?) KT crater look small in comparison. Heck, even the PB craters are bigger than the Xiwhatever. Continent-spanning shield volcanos appearing overnight is idiotic, too. Such things kill my suspension of disbelief.(\__/) Save a bunny, eat more Smurf!
