It would be kind of interesting if the AI fought each other instead of you. I mean, ideally they don't treat you with any particular concern despite you being the protagonist, right?

Sorry for the question, but as far as these seedships go, were they all shot at the same planet or were hundreds built and flung in every direction?

Oh, interesting. I guess your personality is pushing you to make a lot of low-level agreements?

Yeah, it seems like the aliens are functionally barbarian units, left with less and less roaming terrain and falling further and further behind the power curve. I imagine there isn't anything like the lifecycle bonus from SMAC to serve as a catch-up mechanism, either?

Dang. So how much of this lean to covert ops was intended and how much is just taking advantage of random events?

Is there a Hunter-Killer Algorithm equivalent in this game, or some way to get your spies shut down? Though I imagine with your advantage that's prohibitively hard to do.
