Thanks for your kind words but...
I thought I would have time to catch my breath while his impactors heal but he switched production of my former base to autobuild one more! :o
He's now already attacking another base...

I had 2 heavy-mineral bases, I just lost one... It wasn't undefended, it had 2 synthmetal defenders.

3/5 of their remaining hoverboats are against me.
3/4 of their impact skimships are against me.
When they had 15 hoverboats (some 20 turns ago), 7 were against me... :o
I don't know what triggered such a fury. Perhaps because I was the human leading at the time, perhaps because my bases are the closest of theirs...
I wouldn't play differently my former turns if I could, I didn't let any loophole.
I shall hold all though.

I would have to say the Bree are definitely hitting you much harder than we are seeing in the Sea Drones...unfortunately the AI is not very consistent about spreading its attacks around. According to my intel there isnt any units around that could threaten a Sea Drone base. Its my current belief the AI is a bit broken as regards to balance, so i guess im saying i dont see it as your fault for getting knocked out here. The bree were supposed to be like a fungus inhibiting human growth but because water favours offensive attacks, impact weapons on foils are much greater than speeders or infantry, so its very problematic to get attacked hard.

I think going back to the drawing board, the bree should have been split into 3 AI maybe, or maybe give a -5 research penalty and carefully control what units they have available. This wouldnt be so big a problem if they were using low-morale Isle of the Deeps to attack with. And maybe make a custom IoD that has slow tag, or give all bree units the slow unit ability free. Just some random thoughts here

To be honest, the Sea Drones are more concerned about managing eco damage from minerals than any Bree invasion  :P

Time dilates as the speed of light approaches. To the extent that light consists of particles, it is in its own way, timeless. Through simple perturbations of the temporal manifold, we can refract or repel photons most efficiently.
