My backside hurts... or AAR round 2!

[Green1]

Fusion Power is ours. Many troops are upgraded. Next goal: Orbital Spaceflight.

The war goes well and two more Pirate strogholds have fallen. First, Drake landing in the northern circle by IoD attacks. Second, the former Deidre sea base of Deidre's fishery by same IoDs joined by a cruiser.

Meanwhile troops are amassing near Roze Function to board the IoDs who will double back to pick them up to begin the assauly on Lal's former island. Where the "1" is, the Virtual World awaits capture, sparsely defended.

[Davyboy]

I notice you are being credited with Mil superiority, Lady D knows this because she's Governor??

[Green1]

Yes, I would assume so. I have needlejets, marines, rovers out the wazoo now.

[Green1]

Yeah... she has NO air... I could CRUSH her, but it would be a fight... plus, she is doing passive aggresive stuff like this:

She has not done crap except take 1 base of Yangs in the sea and sit there project whoring. Now, she wants to "invade" after I have weakened the Pirates hold on the Virtual World before my troops can get over there.

[Buster's Uncle]

My experience is that it being a bad idea to attack you never stops the AI.

[Green1]

Oh yeah.. and this passive agressive BS! For the 3rd or 4th time! After mind controlling UN HQ from Sven to get Virtual World! I am tempted to tell her to shove it and swarm her with needlejets and probes. Then all her projects would be mine..

Yeah, BU... She does have AMA to build anti air ground units.. but there is no way if I shifted focus she would be able to redirect in time before I swept in and took 2-4 cities.

[Green1]

Oh yeah.. stop sniveling. I refuse and she feels insulted. I feel insulted, Lady D? What about me?

Oh... and this just pours salt on it... I mean, really, D? Who has been going up against Sven and his Pirates the whole time while you just sat there and only intervened when you saw one opening!  You have been CARRIED, D!

I need to talk with my council about possibly backstabbing. If I am going to do it, it HAS to be now.

Oh yeah, did we mention Roze has materials of a questionable sexual nature of D cuddling up to Morgan? Yeah.. they are pacted. In fact, lets have a come to reality talk with D.

[Green1]

Well... after a talk with Deidre where she refused to stop associating with known folks who do not like my empire, I threatened to break pact and she told me she could care less.

So, I have.

Aki calls me up for pact right after. Now, she is in bed with Yang, so I am just "using" her to replace the lost trade income.

Diedre now has Chaos weapons. I think she just got it. But, I feel confident with an initial probe blitz and then troops arriving, I would have crippled her.

Here is the plan. The main target is Flowers Preach. This gets captured, Xenoempathy, Citien's defense force, and the Empath Guild.. gone! And.. it is lightly gaurded.

Secondary target is Song of Planet with Aesthetic Virtues and the gateway to the southwest of her nation.

Third is her capital itself with HGP and Merchant exchange.

Oh.. and those IoDs are still heading to UN HQ for Virtual World

Backstab? Well, I AM Roze!

[Green1]

First, I send a probe team into steal a tech and try to frame Morgan! Unfortunately, this fails. Diedre declares vendetta! Morgan already I am at war with.

I open up with more probes, stealing 3 techs: First Sting Theory. That means Chaos weapons incoming. Then Centuri meditatio, then Advanced Ecological Engineering!

Song of Planet falls! We have the Aesthetic Virtues!

Meanwhile, we catch Yang's forces by surprise trying to get UN HQ from Deidre!

[Green1]

The second round!

Our probes steal Planetary Economics, then her World Map. I have all her tech and currently have world tech lead!

The Flowers Preach Falls! We now have the Xenoempathy Dome, The Citizen's Defense Force, and The Empath Guild.

Deidre asks for 50 energy! No. Deidre asks for truce. No.

[Green1]

AAA troops for Deidre are coming out and some aircraft are shot down.

Greenhouse Gate falls after 2 probe teams sabotage production of Anti-Air troops and destroy her Perimeter Defense and rovers roll through the gates unmolested.

Oh yeah, and that new seabase down there in the circle is not you hallucinating, its a sea colony pod we hijacked from Yang!

Meanwhile, Marines have treked across a landmass and swam a channel to sneak attack one of Sven's sea cities and on the way to the next with new settlers coming in to try a hand at fontier life.

[Green1]

We have Orbital Spaceflight. Next up, Nueral Grafting to hopefully beeline Mind Machine Interface.

Three more Deidre cities fall and soon, we will be sieging her capitol and her most populous city on the southwest coast.

This has, however spread me a bit thin. She is putting up a strong defense and I am starting to feel the casualties. Even the guys sitting outside UN HQ after killing Yang's little invasion team are looking at the sky going "WTF? Where are those damn jets?"

[Davyboy]

My backside hurts...

But I bet Lady D hurts more...........
(It doesn't have to be 'blitzkrieg' -- pause while your troops recover/reinforce and shoot her up in the open if you can.

I'm sure you're dancing as fast as you can.

[Buster's Uncle]

...And I'd say once you have all her secret projects and best bases, don't be afraid to let her swear a pact to serve you. Mo' money, mo' money, mo' money.

Well.. THIS is the reason we have had to Blitzkrieg! 

As a ragtag group makes their way around all the needlejet crashes surrounding  Gaia Landing , new prototype Interceptors shoot down a squadron outside Greenhouse Gate. But the capitol is ours. We now have the Merchat Exchange and HGP!! Another Gaian needle jet plunges into the industrial areas between Monument Race city and Googleplex and takes pot shots at Crawlers to try to hurt production. A counter offensive from 2 hidden mindworms to try to retake Memory Of Earth but are held off!

If we had not have moved quickly, this could have turned into a long, nasty war! This is still not over. Diedre is a crafty AI. She even had a crawler somewhere before the invasion from peeking in her city screen.

BU... this aint over yet!
