I just thought of a very sly tactic you can use with spoils of war on and when you're quite a bit behind in tech. Build lots of colony pods, send them to an empty spot (great dunes, whatever) send 1 scout with every colony pod. Build cities in 1 turn, give all cities away to the one ahead in tech. He will love you for it, but don't accept a pact. Then, attack all the bases. You will get 1 tech per base. Your rep. will suffer a bit, but not much. This is in itself a good reason to turn spoils of war off, but you could do it too with pods 'n' probes. Criticism on the game: the AI gets way too happy when receiving one lousy base. Any thoughts? |
