MY 2329. Even a fairly weak Spore Launcher in a city, can survive the attack of a Quantum Conventional Missile. That's kinda lame. I guess we can theorize it's about spores being kicked up everywhere and reseeding. Although one would then wonder, why they die in the face of all kinds of other ordinance. Or why ordinance is generally irrelevant to whether they survive or not. Anyways I think this is pretty lame. My jaw was dropping too hard, for me to have the presence of mind of taking a screenshot.

I'm bored out of my mind! I can't take this policy with the Data Angels anymore. And it's proof that doing it that way, was a complete waste of time, and a terrible thing to do in a "demonstration game". This is really a pretty lousy demo at this point. I don't even want to publish it on Reddit. I'm quitting. I will hold a vote to see if I've won the game already without realizing it, although I doubt it. And
that's it. No more of this. I want to start over and do things properly, so that there's an AAR actually worth reading at the end of it. This is junk. Don't play the game this way, you'll make yourself bloody miserable. "Smothering tactics" can have their place, particularly with an enemy that will only sign a Truce, but this isn't it. Doesn't work, it's terrible, complete garbage.

Thankfully I've won. If Miriam hadn't sided with me, I wouldn't have. And I just barely squeaked that vote out, right now. In the future, of course victory was inevitable, but this was a darned sloppy game. I'm not bothering to tell anyone about this AAR. This was pretty crap play, with Roze at least. And she
still wanted money, to the bitter end! The nerve of her!
Ugh. I wish this game had the equivalent of the earthquake in SimCity. Where you just shake everything to the ground, when you're totally sick of everything.
Just driving a rail straight into your enemy's heart, with zillions of Formers, is a zillion times more efficient, than this slow nonsense rail I made down to Yang. I've just done a rail invasion so many times, that I didn't want to write that up.
Conventional Missiles work ok, except when they don't. Maybe they're not actually overpowered. I'm doubting they're actually all that convenient.
Pounding the various cities with probe teams to weaken them, was mostly a fool's errand. I did that for dozens and dozens of turns, and all I did was bore
me. The AI doesn't care. Especially when it gets down to trashing Recreation Commons, they're so cheap that the AI will simply build them yet again. Complete waste of time.
