Well, I paid them figuring that they might get entangled with another civ if I keep them happy for a little while. Here I have positioned my survey ship as the first Korath spore ship closes in. I have a few Defenders and Transports on the way. I don't see that the Korath have any Transports yet, like you said, Solver.

Oh, you just got to love the Korath diplomacy, eh? I would refuse - they're too busy to attack you now. Though it does sound like your military is well inferior...Leave a comment:

Uhm, that certainly doesn't sound like the Intelligent AI setting. In my experience, once declared war on, AIs pump out ships like crazy...Leave a comment:

Interestingly, thanks to the investment I put into spying on the Drath, I can see that they aren't handling the shift to defense mode very well. One planet is stuck producing a constructor, two are idle spaceports, and only two are producing fighters...though one of those says "Never," which highlights a lack of the AI switching to production mode. Curious. While I don't have a ship nearby to witness an attack, I could see that 5 or so Korath ships just left orbit...I hope for the Drath!Leave a comment:

Ahh, you can kick some Drath ass. The AI isn't always good at coordinating Transports with its main strike troops. If the Korath fleet eliminates defenders in a Drath planet, it might take several turns for a Korath transport to show up. Instead, park some of your own there. Once the Drath have an undefended planet, declare war and move in!Leave a comment:

This slight chance at lasting another half hour is brought to you by the Korath and my huge diplo bonus!

Good idea, but I've gone another route. I bribed the Korath to attack the Drath. It was 1000bc, but it should buy me the time I need. If the Korx can stay happy with me, and if I can get a troop transport going (or two or three) soon enough, the Drath might be in a world of hurt. Also, the only thing that has kept me in the game with my two planets compared with 5 for the Drath is my massive population growth bonus...but time is running out!Leave a comment:

Check if they're within your influence zone, which would make the planets easy to flip with a couple of starbases.Leave a comment:

My only hope now is to go for military techs and try to take out the Drath NOW. The Korx, with whom I have 4 trade lanes up and running, got the other planet. Man, it was pretty silly. The AI got those planets after I hit 'turn' and was waiting simply to move both my colony ships in for the take as soon as I took control of the turn. I guess the AI understood beelining to the Barren World tech!Leave a comment:

Ack! I lost BOTH planets ONE TURN from getting the right tech! Crap!!! I'm screwed...and determined to hurt some AI somewhere...Leave a comment:

Scratch that. 10 weeks. Our entire economy is supporting the research effort now! A Kork colony ship came close to one of the barren worlds, and I thought we were in trouble. It turned back, however. The clock is ticking! SOLVER: Just saw your post. Indeed!Leave a comment:
