If your fleet gets too big, grab the techs that raise your command points.įear not the Antereans until they start using Battleships. Rotate them through a secondary industry center and refit them occasionally. Take them.īuild the biggest ships possible. Then I leave it on AutoBuild.īuild spies each and every time the enemy succeeds in stealing something. I order all colonies to build Automated Factory, Research Lab, Hydro, and Spaceport. From then on, I chose Research (autolab, etc), Production (always welcome), Food, then Money. Then I go for either Hydro lab, or Automated factory (2nd set behind the top left choice). Research is the key in which you get the goodies to make supreme military units (called ships) in which one of your can wipe out many of theirs. It improves their opinion of you, and makes them vote for you, as long as they aren't the other choice for Supreme Commander.īut what if I want to kick everyone's but?įrom the start of the game, go research crazy. But you might have to pay tribute to your militant neighbors. Having one countless games using just diplomacy, 2 scouts, and endless colony ships, I can tell you its easily possible. Unlike SMAC, with its Psychotic Opponents, you can maintain peace with your neighbors and buy them off long enough to swap over your major industrial centers to making military units if you decide you might to. There ARE ways to do so (Mind control races), but I think they are a cracks in the design, not a feature. But that's alright, you shouldn't be doing so anyways.īut what about the Early Rush, Oh Dark One? Don't worry about. Low G means don't do ground invasions until you get some serious tech. Large gives your capital a good industrial base. Sub gives you more space to live per colony.

It also lets you use your Spy force for home defense only. I like to play Subterrean, Creative, Low-G, Custom race on a Large world.Ĭreative is important, in that it lets you hop around the hard decisions. The Opp Eng will start off ahead of you, but you will surpass it and then be able to vote yourself in, kill the Antareans, or conquer the galaxy. That means, strong build up of your colonies. Second, remember the path of the Peaceful Expanist Builder. They have suggested using this forum as the place to talk about it. There has been a reawakening of MOO2 among a few of our former SMAC Strategists. Profile | register | prefs | faq | search MOOII - Strategies Welcome - Alpha Centauri Forums
