Re: Can Intel Really do this?
spacefan- Two games ago (not PBW) all of a sudden my ships started being destroyed because of "a lack of resources". As I had just been declared war on by a newly discovered race I assumed their Intel was awesome! In 8 or 9 turns I had lost almost half my fleet of nifty new cruisers with all the latest bells and ... well you get the point. After another 10 or 12 turns of shifting my entire economy to building and REALLY promoting Intel I notice something funny.................. my Organics income was Very negative. Duhh... I had just begun to excersise my race's organic tech developments into useful gadgets for my nifty new fleet.
I'm sure its not that simple for your case, but look closely for something you might be overlooking. (BTW, I ended up not losing too many colonies before I got things back under control, once I realised my error. Good thing I wasn't playing other humans!)
