Waterworld!

*sigh* I may lose an important base next turn. Curses and aargh! I thought AI almost never attacks garrisoned sea bases.

On a strategic level:

* Geo looks forward to some extra map info...

I thought AI almost never attacks garrisoned sea bases.

You thought I were leaving my bases undefended for the Bree to take them? No, but they can take down a defender even with a defense perimeter so I imagine with your -2 morale...

These hoverboats are like the raptors in Jurassic Park; remember what the guard said?
"Every day they attack the fence, trying to find a weak spot".

[Geo]

...so I imagine with your -2 morale...

I've been meaning to ask: is there a way to see the Social Engineering settings from (infiltrated?) ingame factions?

You open the Council onglet, right-click on the faction and choose Faction Profile.
If infiltrated, you should see their current social settings.

[Kirov]

You can always see enemy SE in the faction profile. No problem with checking that even before in-game meeting.

As for Bree... I tried to expand and allocate only minimum resources to defenses. Usually you can fend off AI with a handful of cheap units no problem. But if she takes that base, that means business.

Thank you.
Looks like I'm the only player not running Wealth.

Perimiter Defences dont help against naval attacks.

The Sea Drones have some new heroes...our combat ship bravely fended off two IoDs allowing a commando team to gain infiltration into the Bree networks. Unfortunately it seems even more IoDs are closing in on their last known position, RIP brave soldiers 

So much for that Librarian AI stuff

Perimiter Defences dont help against naval attacks.

You say WHAT? 

So they don't help against naval attacks.
I remember someone telling me that they don't help against psi attacks.
Then they're just useless in this game!

Thanks for the info, that explains how a gunfoil can kill a scout in a base. (Not that I was leaving scouts defend my bases anymore, but good to know anyway).

I remember someone telling me that they don't help against psi attacks.

If that's true (need to check), it would go against the Citizen Defense SP movie.

I made it this time, just finishing a foil when she tore down my garrison. That was close. Now I only need to retake my base... Stay tuned for more news.

And yes, I'm 100% positive that PD doesn't help in either naval or psi attacks. Yes, its usefulness is quite limited to me and the PDF not only suggests wrong info in the movie but is one of the worst Projects in my opinion.

Yay, we reached the sixth decade. At this speed we'll reach turn 100 before my vacation next Thursday starts.


A question; what is the players' stance towards tech brokering for this game? On or off? Personal discretion between trading partners? Another option?

I don't quite understand the question.
Tech trading is allowed for people with diplomatic relations. That's all for me.

2 Bree impact skimships in sight! 
If they attack, I have nothing to stop them this time...
