Anyone getting annoyed with strange "pillaging" by the different factions?
My main gripe is with the Gaians who seem to love destroying my forests. Doesn't this conflict with their beleifs?
Also wouldn't some Factions try and keep improvements such as the Morgans keeping Solar Collectors as it aids them if they capture the city, which is truly the aim of war... maybe...

The end here for Morgan is to get control of your city, the means to that end is an attempt to whittle down your infrastructure(farms, roads, forests) maybe even causing drone riots that permit an easy mind control attack. After he gets control, then the rebuilding begins, in Morgan style (not yours). Its easier to erase the influence of the losing sides culture/ideaology(sp!) when you start with nothing but scorched earth.
While I can rationalize this, it still makes me crazy. Anything involving giving more orders to terraformers that are too stupid to work the way I want them to on auto makes me crazy.(I've learned to assign formers to auto improve in situations like this -after the dust clears- and limit the improvements they can make, but I'm never quite satisfied w/ the result)
