New game I started yesterday on transend. Decided to go Morgan for the challenge of playing probably the weakest faction in the game and put on max fungus.
I started out at the far south of the map but was on a very large continent consuming much of the center of the world. I discovered Yang to my North about 20 years into the game. He quickly declare vendetta against me so I figured the smartest thing for me to do would be to put the rover I discovered them with into a key choke point and upgrade its defense to synthmetal. That chokepoint was on rocks and right next to one of Yangs bases.
Yang refused to attack my rover throughout this entire war for some reason but did find another longerway around to get to my bases. He kept attacking the base that I had at the center of The Ruins. No big deal, I just defended that base with the latest technology.
After launching my ships about 150 years in, Yang is still hacking away at that Ruin base but has accomplished nothing except knocking over 2 of the monoliths. I take a look around our continent which is empty except for us. Yang could have held all the land to the North but he refused to focus on anything except me. Deirde and Santiago had become the two most powerful factions followed closely by myself and Lal had become world leader. My rover was still holding its ground at the choke point and it was supped up with a chaos gun and silk steel.
Finally about 200 years in Yang contacted me about a blood truce. At this time I was just beginning to get annoyed with Yang and started building some advanced rovers to go fight against him. They hadn't even been finished when he made this proposal to me. His factions power was about 1/4 of my power but neither of us had taken a single base in this whole 200 year war. So I refuse the blood truce and to my shock and surprise the next thing he does is offer to surrender. I've never been able to get the Hive to surrender easily in the first place so seeing this occur was an absolute shock to me. It was an extremely strange event that I cannot explain.
Anyways in another strange event afterwards, with most of his techs at 25% or less, he somehow managed to start studying Orbital Spaceflight and was the first faction to get this technology which he quickly handed over to me, and then he also managed to study Doctrine: Air Power before anyone else. I couldn't figure this one out either but since he was handing all his techs over to me I didn't mind.
