I did a bad thing...

... a very bad thing; to the thalans... they were my friends. Some how they managed to not colonize a single world, not one. However that one world had 2-300% researcgh tiles their tech capital and their manufacturing capital. All i could think was MMMMmmmm.

I was the Drath (playing masochistic). early in the game the Korx picked on me and the Thalans GAVE me some ships, I didnt even have to ask. They're so nice. So time goes by and i remember their nice homeworld and how vulnerable they are to their neighbors, the Drengin. If only i could liberate them i thought. But the ships they had in orbit were way to powerful for mine. I did have a transport or two nearby though.

But these were my friends, our relationship said so, "friendly" it said. How could I think about... its too horrible my concience told me. No matter, as good as my civ was i couldnt take it 2 -300% bonus tiles and another tech capital!!. So, i traded them all of my techs (excpt anything to do with soldering) and got their ships in return. Not only did i now have the ships to attck them with, but they had fewer defenders, which were no match for the ones i aquired. That same turn.... the Thalans were no more. I felt bad for what i had done. the traded me the ships i used to destroy them. How could I do such a thing to my friends?

its... its... pretty funny actually.

That's like the time I was getting ganged up on and the Snathi gave me a bunch of constructors inexplicably equipped with railguns. I used the constructors to destroy the Snathi military resource base and build over it.

Hey, I needed it more than they did.

Funny, indeed. Also hopefully something Brad can stop from happening in the TA finalizations or the 2.0 effort.

The only living person who knew the deal went down was you...so I wouldn't fret too much about it. Heck the Dregin may applaud you if the secret gets out....

As a side note, I really like sitting back while two races are at war with each other and play chess with them. As soon as it looks like the one is breaking loose and will overpower the other race, I'll go to the winning race, buy all their ships and transports and then sell them to the loosing race. I then sit back and watch the hilarity that ensues.
