God I Feel Just Horrible

I will see you in The Hague, very soon Atrocities.

I responded by breaking our treaty and having already positioned my fleet over their Home World I attack.

I feel horrible as they resisted my ground troops and ultimately my fleet had to obliterate the planet.

All they wanted to be was good friends, and I glass their Home World.

I feel horrible now.

Troops? You waste resources on TROOPS?? Building only bombs does so simplify management and strategy. It makes all of the choices so...unambiguous.

For you and them.

Hmm, my apologizes for this little digressing. Rest assured I do not share the ideas explained above, although they shall be very useful to explain why I am currently killing one thousand civilians every *second* in one of my games. Alas, the Organic facility increases population too much, and so explaining that the two billion settlers working at a given planet were in fact warriors is quite difficult.

The worst part is that it happened accidentally. Ooops they fought off our invasion. Fleet "therefore" bombs defenseless planet to dust. Sigh.

Someone who does not find WOMs after an offensive war must feel the same (plus he should say bye bye to politics immediately).

Gun Boat Diplomacy Works For Me.

I like capturing targets as opposed to obliterating them. In some cases I like to capture planets held by races that breath differant atomspheres than my own race. In this regard they become very valuable members of my expanding empire and provide me with a vialable alternative to AMP's.

Additionally I help this race spread its seed across the galaxy in a way that its own race could never do by themselves.

I do hate it when I spend the time and resources to capture a Home World and forget to set my fleet strategy to Capture Planet. Then hit Strategic instead of Tactical combat. Pooof GONE - turn done. No more Hydrogen breathers. And the sad thing about it, I actually loved that race. They were very freindly to us from early on and we turn our backs on them and the wiped them all out. A beutiful race gone forever.... I need to speak to the royal counseller about these feelings of regret and deep sadness I feel. Perhaps it is time that I pass my empire on to one of my many million children. (After all I have 30,000 wives that I have still not gifted with my love.) A ruler such as I should now concentrate upon the finer points of life and dedicate himself to helping his beloved wives discover their pleasure thresholds and leave the waring to the younger generations.

Yes, that is what I will do. Drown my sorrow and pain in pleasure and drink.
