Mostly it is forgetting to upgrade or add more defenders in older, non frontline cities and just build, build, build.. That poor scout patrol at New Jerusalem never saw the stack of AntiMind mind worms coming.
Trying to make friends with everyone is one of my classic mistakes. Typically what happens when I try that is
I end up hated by everyone. Sure why not just sign that treaty with the Spartans and their enemies the Believers
and their enemies the Gaians. What could possibly go wrong? "Uhh sir. Half of the factions on Planet just declared
war on us." Sigh.....
Pound the ones who declare war on you first, and then you won't be trying to make friends with everyone anymore.

True, but I like to try and be nice first. Then you get Miriam who apparently has nothing to do but knit and form military units.
One time she declares on me becasue why not and sure I go and get together a military force to invade her Island continent.
What go wrong? How many units could she possibly have? I get there and its a scene out The Two Towers when Saruman was
mustering his Uruk-hai. She had stacks of 5 just on patrol. Get a hobby woman.
But most of the time if you have Miriam next to you, you are eventually going to have to go to war with herShe actually makes a great ally if you can sway her.
One game, I thought I was safe. Her formers actually raised ground to get me across a channel!Really? I didn't even know the AI was smart enough to do that.

Whats the stupidest thing you've done in Alpha Centauri? Just those little face palm moments when you realized you did something dumb? For instance forgetting the "terraform level" command.

Once thought I could carry planet busters on boats for surprise nuking, but it just ran out of fuel near boat, and it considered it detonation. Killed an entire city and ship.
...Maybe there was on that tile some enemy unit? Like hidden in fungus or a submarine, etc.? And that's why it detonated?
