Playing Pirates has ruined me!

[nhs_boy]

It's tragic but true... The Nautilus Pirates are my faction of choice, but having played them near-exclusively for the past few months, I seem to have forgotten most of what I knew about land-living.
On the sea you have so many luxuries - enormous expansion room, rapid former/colony/defence deployment, all the energy and food one could wish for...
Now I'm back on land, I'm missing out on my energy, and don't know what to do with all the shiny minerals - worrying.

Still, it's nice to have boreholes again, and self-growing forests (kelp auto-grows, but it's less useful).


Anyone else gotten too used to a niche style of play and found a return to the main game tricky?

Well i'm so used to land that even with the pirates i'll build colony pods and get out of the water before my toes get wet if that counts

Yang's efficiency impunity. Enough said.

I'm always longing back to Aki's smooth running empires when I try other factions.

I cant play any faction that doesnt have at least +1 - if not +2 - Industry

Ive been totally spoiled by Yang and Domai... whenever I select a secret project and see it will take 100 turns to complete at this rate I die a little inside.

Morgan's +100 starting e.c. and going FM on turn 3-5.

Its called the Supply Crawler.

[Lazerus]

yeah but they take 7 turns rather then 5 to build ... i mean omfg 7, the lazy sob's !!!

[BlackCat]

That I'll call bad management - 3 turns is enough. Maybe you should interrogate your governors for an explanation.

[Slaughtergaard]

Or even better... Even had the ideia of shooting the governors of all bad bases and putting your lovers in they place? At least you have more motives for visitating than just politicking

Slight deviation from topic there

I've definitely found that my builder habits from Morganite play have made my momentum game weaker. That said, there's one habit that I've carried from one faction to another that's never let me down: Build more bases.

Pop-booming all Gaian bases to size 14 or even 16 before discovery of Gene Splicing and without any serious terraforming.
