How do i scrap Android farmers/workers/scientists?

[vmxa1]

Good question, I never tried.

[Gilgamensch]

AFAIR you can't you can just ship them across to another planet.

One way to get rid of them, take a colony (ground combat and get a revolt there

[Kaptain Ken]

How about putting them on a nonstrategic planet you can live without and give it somebody else. If you are not playing for high score, you could later attack and kill them.

[Reinhard-Baer]

The same question goes for the natives. It might be good to have them in the beginning because you can expand faster but in the end they just take up space as you cannot use them for anything else expect farming. So one of your people would be more useful. There should be an option to put them in some camps so they can live there, be quiet and don't get in the way of the productive class.

[Gilgamensch]

The natives can even not be moved from their homeworld. They are stucked and glued to their soil.

The only way to get rid of them, is to bomb them away............and really the only one!!!!!!!!

[Kaptain Ken]

Bombs away !

I am addicted to this game and Alpha Centauri. Fortunately I can switch back and forth, so I am not really hooked right?

[vmxa1]

Kaptain have you looked into Galciv yet? I am currently flailing around with it.

[moomin]

I want your evaluation of that soon, vmxa.

[vmxa1]

I will try to get in a few games and then toss in my 2 cents.

[Kaptain Ken]

vmxa1,

GalCiv requires fast PC IIRC. As I am thinking about upgrading anyway this my hurry up my purchase. Let us know what you think of as you get into it. It sounds like it could have good potential.

[vmxa1]

Let me preface all my remarks about GalCiv with a great big note that I am very mad at the game right now.

I had tried to declare war and can not. I finally abandon play of this game and will have to start new one using another tactic.
I really hate the senate in Civ2 and it is back with a vengence in Galciv. The sentate would not let me attack, it would not let me change governments.
Yes I know if I maintained control, I may have been able to, or maybe not. The point is I run my games, if I can't, why play them? Did I say how much I hate the senate in Civ2? At least you could get around it, so far I have not figured out how to in this game.

The manual is worth nothing what so ever IMO, some people are working on an improved one, stop me if you heard this before (Moo3).
No tactic combat, no designing ships, ok I can live with that as many games have done that. I would prefer not.

It is not really complex or hard to figure out in the broadest sense. I mean you soon see how to make colony ships and grab planets and do research and all of that. As far as strategy, such as what should I be doing or researching and the like, I am just fumbling around.

As some of you know, I am not altogether unfamilar with TBS game playing, but this puppy could turn out to be a challenge. Set with the easiest level and the AI races as Fools, they quickly had most of the good planets and were researching things I did not have.
True I was stuck in a corner and had no idea what I was doing. I manage to get to #1 in most things and was doing some trading. All I am saying is, I sure am not looking forward to taking the AI on at its highest levels, just yet.
Lots of things to tweak as son as I figure which ones and how much and why. I did not play around with race design either so far.
I suspect I will not be a huge fan of the game as it has a large portion tied to trading and diplomacy and I do not like to do either of those things. That is why I often play repulsive, so I can ignore that stuff and just expand and conquer.
If the combat sucks (I do not know at this time), then it will leave me with little to enjoy. Just building planets for the sake of it does not appeal to me.

[Kaptain Ken]

vmxa1,

Let us know how the next attempt goes. Thanks for posting.

It depends. Farmers are good for planets that do not have any specials. Make them into farms, build things like weather controllers. You can then support people on other planets to do other things.

I think you can destroy them by sending to planets that are already maxed out.
