One of my favorite tactics is applied to an AI faction about to get smashed by another AI faction. This really only works early in the game, but you build a base way out in unexpored lands (rover colony pods help), where you are unable to expand for the moment. Then gift it to the AI just before it loses its last base. They are so grateful, they'll become a pact brother almost immediately which gives you some free trade, and an ally in most votes. Then they will commence to develop the area, build cities, terraform etc. all the while your buddy. Gift(or sell!) lower techs, and hope that any discoveries they make are one's you've missed. And all the time concentrate on developing your military/industrial complex. Then, about 20 or so years before you embark on your mission to conquer the world or whoever, just take them out in one blitzkrieg. Lots of developed cities, more production, troop experience wham. |
