Damn bees. (And for that matter, damn shard choppers, battleships, drop units, probes etc.)

Onwards.

Are " bees" locusts ?

I do have a lot of all those things. The only thing that hasn't troubled you so far is the probe units ( damn HSA) but the Nethack Terminus gives all my probes algorithmic enhancement starting next turn

Yup, if it wasn't for the bees I'd be making life much harder for you (not necessarily beating you, but making it a lot harder). Looks like the HSA et al goes this turn anyway. Killing bees with missiles is effective & satisfying--but its a holding action rather than a winning strategy. Let's play a few more turns & then it'll be cue a requiem for the Pirate King also.

Turned.

Since I inherited a huge infrastructure advantage it would be tough to be beating me in this one. In fact I stopped building units in most of my bases due simply to the PIA factor of moving them

Quite likely. Then the probes can come into play bigger -- I tried two mindcontrols last turn but the chance of success is something like 33% and both failed

Yeah-- even though your missiles cost less than a locust, I'll take the trade at this stage. I basically decided about 2 turns ago that all I want to do is deny you bases. I should be able to take about 5 per turn from here on out. ONly something like the space elevator might spped that up a bit and I am a good few techs away from that

Well the numbers are so overwhelming that I am pretty much advancing 6-8 tiles a turn on all fronts so that sounds about right

Sorry to pass you by good friend but I think you will find your lands relatively peaceful. The front has passed onward and I do not believe you have the right type of units.

[H0bbes]

2269 is turned. I'm going to lose but there is something very satisfying about a long salvo of missiles.
