Yes!!! A complete conquest victory, that's right, no one left but me, in 150 turns on a huge planet! Ha! My Gaians were unstopable with all the mind worms, the key is to go for Green economics so you can boost your planet rating and get your mind worm capture up to 50-75%.

Yeah thats who I try and do it!
+ did you know that in Patch 3.0 and downwards if your unit has TRANCE capability it has a nearly perfect percentage capture chance!
Bug or Not Bug you cant work round that one!

Singularity,
Your victory was on a random huge planet, or on The huge map of the planet?

singularity - you really need to try a
Scenario Contest at:

because to say you did something with an unspecified map under unspecified conditions is too ridiculous to discuss...

or better yet - send me the start map - and I will make it a contest....
turns out - some of the best are not the most vocal....

Congradulations, Singularity, but it still needs ot be done with Huge Map of Planet. No borehole cluster, no matrix, lots of fungus. I contend that Diplomatic Victory is faster than conquest on this map --I have won as Lal by 2238 on Huge Map of Planet without firing a shot or building anything but defensive units. Heck, you don't even find everyone before 2200 unless you make a beeling for Empath Guild, which is not usually part of a conquest strategy. The key is seeding and balanced start sites. The AI does poorly on the tiny islands typical of random maps --they never colonize. Huge Map of Planet has large land masses but they are separated by fungal mats and Isle-infested seas.

Next time, just try asking for the details.
