Title: Fastest faction defeat ever
Post by: Question on October 05, 2014, 09:42:01 PM

The map generator decided it would be a great idea to put me (spartans) 6 tiles away from Lal. To top it off, one of the first pods i got had a battle ogre.

So i walked the battle ogre right over to Lal's HQ and managed to extort him for everything he had, till he got pissed and declared war. THen i just killed some defenceless scout patrols with the battle ogre and he surrendered. For the rest of the game i had a permanent trading partner and someone to trade techs with.

Imagine if this was a MP game and someone showed up with a pod generated battle ogre at your HQ in the first couple of turns...

If you are killed very early you should get to restart in a more remote location.  But I think there are some bugs with MP that will end the game, rather than make it continue.
