You'd think that with a whole weekend gone by I'd have done more than play SMACX...sigh...I didn't even watch the DVD's I rented!
Roze now joins the ranks of factions that have to be killed if they're anywhere near me! Huge map of planet and me, the UoP as usual. Who ends up being ight next to me? Roze! Taking up half of the monsoon jungle that I wanted for myself! But we signed a treaty and I left her alone. Five turns later she mind controls my base at her border. I had to switch production from some of my bases to churn out some rovers. When I had about eight rovers and several probe teams to go with them I massed at the border to rush her. Roze gives in and returns my base before a shot is fired, but it was too late after that. I had to break the truce because I knew I couldn't trust her and with the UoP's probe easiness I'd be at her mercy if I let her get to powerful. So I stormed her and took four of her five bases in three turns or so. She wanted to surreneder, but the hell with that.
Roze is worse than Miriam in that respect. At least Miriam is honest about it. If she hates you she just says it.
As the game went on I found myself at war with everyone, but primarily Diedre. Dee is a queen b**** when she gets some power. I pacted with Domai to fight her, but because of my short war with Roze a lot of my bases needed more facilities to stop rioting. Dee was out teching me and I had to play catch up by upgrading my troops using all of my money. And Domai is a moron! (no wonder they call him brainless) I noted that he had a large air force moving through my territory. Still Dee managed to take a lot of his bases. What the hell was he doing? With all of those missile jets he should have been able to wipe out her land forces at the border! The dummy didn't and Dee began eating him alive. I tried to help but Dee literally had almost every square near Free Drone Central crammed with troops. And they were tough troops too! They killed all of my guys I sent to aid Domai. Then global warming (mostly due to the drones) st in and I lost a lot of the monsoon jungle. Cities starved, bases rioted, I gave up. It was obvious that Domai was going to be greened to death and that Dee was way to strong for me to stop. I had no money, Dee was kicking my but, Miriam was picking away at my north and Yang was picking away at my south.
Tried again. Ended up at the borehole cluster near Lal. I take back defending him in another thread. The jerk attacked me and then wanted peace when my battle ogre destroyed one of his bases. But then Miriam arrived in full "Jihad against everyone that isn't me" mode. She was tough, too. Looked like a long hard battle from the start but then my computer crashed. When I restarted the base names weren't visible. I had to reinstall the game from scratch.
New game, still going on. Dee again is my enemy. Well, everyone is my enemy. I have NO friends. Yang wiped Miriam off the map long time ago and the only reason he's at bay now is because I keep bombing his nearest bases with copters and needlejets. Cha Dawn keeps landing forces at my flank, requiring me to bulk up forces there. Morgan and Lal are duking it out on the other side of the world. (Every turn I see one or the other lost or regained a base.) and that damned Lal stole the governship from me. I bribed morgan during the vote with 3 techs and 600 EC and he still voted against me. (He will die slowly for this!)
I don't get it. I've done nothing to anyone. Yet I have not ONE ally? I only get offered truces for energy, and I'm not paying anyone to stop a war they started! Seems to me that Dee is going to make my list soon.
Well, gotta go. Any comments?
