It's a great game. I beat it with Ascent to Trascendence the first time only because I got tired of waiting 5 minutes a turn for the half a dozen stacks of 20 or more mind worms or lcusts to attack. its ridiculous. Even holdinf down shift it takes forever. There needs to be some balance to this. I am the only one getting attacked and the numbers are crazy. Some patch is need to make things more reasonable.Two, I downloaded the 2.0 patch and it says that 12+ atrocities cause all factions to declare war on you. I use atrocities a lot, nerve gas and obliterate base are a good way to weed out excess bases and the planet buster is effective as a good first strike weapon. I always try to repeal the UN Charter as soon as possible. If I repeal the charter, and the commit more than 12+ atrocities, does that mean that everyone will declare vendetta on me anyway?
Also, once you commmited several atrocities on a faction, can there every be peace or is it a vendetta til you wipe them out?
