Provost Harrison posted 06-14-99 12:35 PM ET
Whatever game I play, whatever faction, whatever difficulty level, I don't seem to be able to strike up a rapport with Deirdre. Any suggestions?
Series II posted 06-14-99 03:41 PM ET
Just kill her. Miraium is nicer that the Gaian B****.
Never have had a good relationship with her even when I had the same social choices.
Krushala posted 06-14-99 05:00 PM ET
I rarely have a problem with her if I'm green. I usually don't pact with her but she has never attacked me. If I'm anything other than green she hates me the whole game.
Koshko posted 06-14-99 09:15 PM ET
I always play Green, so I'm usually on good terms with her. I'm Pact with her on my current game. It probably helps not being on the same continent.

I love Deirdre. She's always good to me, but she gets a little testy when I play with free market too long. She is the one faction who is content to be second place and not attack me.
I usually have a green economy, but switch to free market on occasion. Whatever faction I play, she and I are in a pact about half the games, and at least in a treaty the rest of the time. I give her useful non-military techs as gifts, give her captured enemy bases if she's weak and I don't want to be troubled with them, etc.
As a rule, the more powerful you are later in the game, the more difficult the other factions are. Deirdre in particular doesn't demand I give her techs, but she does like the occasional spontaneous gift. Until late in the game, it is useful having a steady trading partner, so I try to help her grow economically, as long as it doens't cost me much - the occasional tech here or there, and those captured bases.

The problem?
My mom's name is Deirdre.
Killing her off is out of the question.
Valtyr posted 06-15-99 12:06 AM ET
When I'm Deirdre, I'm nasty ! When I'm not, she's usually very friendly.
HolyWarrior posted 06-15-99 12:57 AM ET
What I've found in my games:
Early--Planned, for the growth.
Midgame on, peace--FM for the money.
Wartime and late--green, after I get the Planet warning.
Generally, I find the tree-hugger easy to get along with. If I find her early, I kill her, but otherwise, we pretty much leave each other alone.
Undersea Dragon posted 06-15-99 04:20 AM ET
I almost never have any problems with Deirdre. In my current game we are pact brother/sister. She has been giving me free military units. I didn't give her anything in return, she just handed them over. She likes my green social choice I guess. Go green and Deirdre will love you long time!
Maitreyabuddha posted 06-15-99 07:23 AM ET
As everyone else has said, GO GREEN. Not just for Deirdre, but to capture loads of mindworms and swarm over the cities of the other evil b*tch, Miriam.
Provost Harrison posted 06-15-99 09:26 AM ET
Thanks, I'll just have to squish her AGAIN. Yawn. Miriam's usually more nasty, but never poses the same threat. F**k it, I'm just going to planet bust the lot and be nasty in a big way.
Series II posted 06-15-99 11:48 AM ET
We must not be playing the same game. I am usually green and she is usually one of the most problem factions. My games do usually end up with her and I in 1st and 2nd for votes for govenor. Maybe that has something to do with it.
Beta1 posted 06-16-99 06:21 AM ET
Easy one this. Large numbers of impact rovers (early game), then missile rovers, chaos penetrators and then any thing you like because you should have beaten her by now
M_ashwell posted 06-16-99 06:52 AM ET
Deirdre is supossed to be a pasifist but the bitch uses P.Busters against me? explain someone pls
i was the hive
i was no 1
she was no 4
i had green economics
i had a treaty with her
she nuked my captial and THEN declared war
i lost alot of the "wonders"
mindworms appear along ALL my borders
I DIED
end of
Resource Consumer posted 06-16-99 07:40 AM ET
I think Deidre could be satisfied by large amounts of steamy and uninhibited sex. The question is which of the other leaders do you think are capable of meeting this.
M_ashwell posted 06-16-99 08:09 AM ET
well miran could
(THIS SHOULD BE A CUT SCENE IN THE GAME)
not lal as he isnt all that
with morgan it could be a love\hate thing
(thats why she declares war on him)
if she likes pain it has to be yang as he in into "control"
well that should lighten up the strand!!!
Resource Consumer posted 06-16-99 09:41 AM ET
I always suspected that there was something between Deidre and Santiago.
icosahedron posted 06-16-99 09:48 AM ET
I think Deidre would do best with Lal. He's going to be nice and gentle and slow, treat her like an unfolding flower, and anything more would just scare her off, anyhow. Then, when Lal is busy, she'll occasionally visit Morgan for a little jungle fever.
Meanwhile, Miriam will prefer Yang, as she has a real need to be dominated and controlled by a strong man, and Yang will naturally satisfy this. But Yang will want a more vibrant partner, so will go for Deidre.
And Santiago will go for Zak; they're both into the kinky stuff, and Zak's imagination will fire Corazon up.
As for the boys, Morgan will prefer Deidre; Yang, Lal, and Zak will prefer Santiago (she's not inhibited like Deidre). But Morgan won't get much because none of the babes wants to be his possession. Deidre will eventually get bored with Lal and Morgan, and end up with Yang; while Miriam will settle for Lal (and he for her); Santiago will prefer Zak.
So the only natural match that will click is Zak and Santiago. But Yang and Deidre will eventually hook up, as will Lal and Miriam. Morgan will be happy alone.
- icosahedron

Actually, I see Yang as more of a meat-and-potatoes kinda guy. For real kinky action, miss D should visit Zak. Or perhaps Santiago. Lal would be into the yogic stuff, mig
Resource Consumer posted 06-16-99 10:37 AM ET
It's like a soap opera. I'll tune in tomorrow for the next installment about the everyday lives of normal faction leaders.
Of topic, I know. But what soaps do you think these people will watch.
Morgan would probably lap up Dallas/Dynasty
Miriam - Emmerdale (when it was peaceful and had "Farm" in the title)
Yang - Neighbours (out of curiosity - he can't understand why they don't throw missiles at eachother)
Zak - strikes me as a Baywatch type
Deidre - no soaps, just gardeners world
Lal - just reads UN memo's for entertainment
Santiago - one of those South American ones with "Maria" in the title
sandworm posted 06-16-99 11:16 AM ET
We can't get Neighbors in the states, but that show cracked me up the first time I saw it.
Deidre has to be an Animal Planet network addict
Yang would be into that old 70s soap with the vampires, Miriam would be horrified
Morgan - QVC home shopping
Zak - the SciFi channel of course, and Nova (public/educational broadcasting, I think)
Resource Consumer posted 06-16-99 11:28 AM ET
I also see Zak as a Trekkie
Provost Harrison posted 06-16-99 03:43 PM ET
Poor old Morgan. Looks like he'll have to make do with a tub of organic superlubricant
Resource Consumer posted 06-17-99 04:32 AM ET
... and a monopole magnet?
Zoetrope posted 06-17-99 07:34 AM ET
sandworm: 70s vampires? I must have forgotten that show.
Buffy would be intriguing: it's not clear how Miriam would interpret her.
For that matter, I can't work out who or what Buffy is: she lets herself get hopelessly beaten up (so it seems) by some incredibly powerful fiend, then, pow! one permanently vaporised undead foe. I can only think she must be some kind of transcendent superbeing who gets kicks out of showing what she can do, but only to fatally impress the meanest guys. (Like an RPG player who knows all the cheat codes.)
Rackam posted 06-17-99 10:14 AM ET
Sandworm - Do you mean 'Forever Knight'?
Resource Consumer posted 06-17-99 06:26 PM ET
Maybe we should just send HARDMAN around. She would either be satiated or volumteer for the punishment sphere.
Angsta posted 06-17-99 09:43 PM ET
i think the vamp soap opera was "Dark Shadows" ... i'd be more sure if i could avoid playing this game for so long that hawaii on a globe looks like an IotD
M_ashwell posted 06-22-99 07:29 AM ET
miraium's favorate holo program?
songs of praise?
actualy she isnt into tv she probably says it corrupts the sole or something

besides i see morgan monopsising the TV studios! so only propagandor and sad soaps
yang isnt a neighbours guy he probably likes the history channel cause " he who forgets the past will repete the mistakes of his fathers" also cause they are always doing stuff on the world wars
...and bringing the tapes for neighbours to planet should be considered an atrosity!!!
i disagree with icosahedron about morgan not getting any cause women are ATTRACTED by money and power!!!
zac would probably be a treker and probably dreams of making a defiant class ship to wipe out the other factions
i woner what yang gets up to in the punishment sphere ?
(is that why his faction has high growth?)
i dont understand buffy either but S.M.G. is HOT!!! and thats the only reason most men watch it!!
becides deirdre probably F***s mind worms! as none of the faction leaders are that lucky!
well thats it for the moment!!!
Penny Foh Yu Thot posted 06-22-99 10:17 PM ET
People are having problem with Deidre and the Gaians ?
You guys say she's being aggressive ?
Now I have heard everything !!
Did they made another patch I wasn't aware of ??
Just my 2 shocked cents worth
M_ashwell posted 06-23-99 10:06 AM ET
deirdre is ALWAYS mean to me (ahhh)
but she aint so hot when
50 drop psi hovertanks appear at
gaias landing !!!
dilbert posted 06-23-99 06:44 PM ET
Deirdre could really be a B**** if your faction is stronger than hers. Otherwise, she's OK.
The nicest guy is actually the professor. I've allied with him in all of my 8 Transcend level games. That's hardly a coincidence.
Provost Harrison posted 06-24-99 09:06 PM ET
Me and Lal are always best buddies. He's real nice! And old Zak isn't bad either.
Natguy posted 06-29-99 01:44 AM ET
Yes, she always hates me also, most likely because I put into practice my views on the environment...I find that it's best to simply build up a strong force and destroy her.
