Is that "text-based" or "touch-based"? Are they the same? (touch-typists, you know...)...

Re: Space Empires Evil Ruler Handbook.
 

Hmm, any medium of communication where you cannot see/touch/smell/hear the envoy ought to work well enough.

However, I would like to make an addendum on this, as it should be more along these lines:
57': Besides, the said communications will be based on SEIV diplomatical system, where you can choose between various actions and select your tone. I will not give the envoy the leisure to write their own Messages however, lest they should manage to bewitch me through the clever use of words.

Space Empires, Evil Ruler Handbook Updated.

Also please note that the next number is 71 http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: Space Empires Evil Ruler Handbook.
 

71. If you ever capture the leader of an enemy empire, and they demand a fair trial, give it to him. That way, the populace is kept happy, because even to your most hated enemy you are fair and just, and if he's convicted and sentenced to death, well, all the better. However, if for some reason he is acquitted of his crimes, have a backup plan ready. As the enemy is going on his merry way from your supreme court, ensure that a suitable "accident" befalls him. For example, a meteor falling from the sky escapes your detection and crushes the car he's travelling in. Whatever you do, make sure he's dead, and can never oppose you again.

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Hell no. Just have him killed and the cloned/ replicated/ impersonated by a shapeshifting alien loyal only to you/ replaced by a robotic double/ skinned and turned into a suit that you can wear to look just like him.

Then, with careful media management, you can convince his people that he is still alive and in charge, and, through some brilliant public negotiations (in which you control both sides of the debate) your two nations can come to some kind of 'peaceful co-existance' (ie, you absorb his empire completely.)

72. I will give up only one secret to my success as an Evil Emperor. If anyone askes me what that secret is, I will point to Rule number 72. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Renegade yours should have been 71 and not 70. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

73. I will always be suspicious of a planet that bears the words "abundance of carnivorous flora" in it's description and yet, is reported to have "optimal" conditions.

74. I will note that the flavor of Phong is reminiscent of sharp cheddar.
