Hehe. I had a nice situation in my game. I had started building a "super research" city which would have merchant exchange, supercollider and theory of everything. Suddenly the gaians built a sea base next to it. I was so pissed off! I decided to buy it and obliterate it, even with the atrocity penalty. You can imagine when the the next turn i was going to obliterate it, sunspots stroke No atrocity...
Anyway, what other things do sunspots do? Do they maybe prevent reputation damage? Tell me if you know

I don't know about reputation damage but u can do EVERY atrocity but the planet buster, i guess it makes to big of a boom sound r something... it sucks when u find that out playing ironman, and u think.. oh boy, sunspot activity, now i can finally get rid of my friendly neighbor... then u launch a pb... and everybody goes to war with u.. and u are totally unprepared for it.

Well since a PB does some serious rearrangement of the geography it probably shows up on every monitor across the globe. Kinda like an earthquake in Asia we can measure here in the USA. Nerve gas and the like you only really find out that its happened after reports from survivors and witnesses come out. Since the sunspots block communications supposedly that justifies the coverage.
