Bring out the artillery, Frankychan!

Gstein, you forgot the Rome and some people would say America like Trithemius mentioned.

Technically, none of those are a true democracy anyway.

EDIT: There was this thread on democracy vs republic in Off-Topic, I tried to find it so we could move this debate over there but to no avail.

Depending on who our new president is, who knows what will happen. Maybe our country will be lead under fascism. (As said before, I am from the States, not Russia. Please pay no attention to the flag. IT is simply for effects. And please do not ask for what effects, think real hard, and you'll find the answer.)

If he is sniping and you can't be bothered to reply in kind, crawlers along the coast will prevent him damaging your terrain imrpovements.


You're definitely right, there are plenty of ways to deal with him, but I don't think that makes him any less of an ankle biter. My big issue with Pirates isn't the offshore bombardment, but the proliferation of size 2-3 sea bases off my coastline. You conquer them, and can't just put their citizens to the sword, you've got to engage in a campaign of prolonged starvation/pod rushing.

Well, putting their citizens to the sword is actually quite a rewarding and enjoyable pastime if you do as I do and cancel the UN charter.

I voted Usurpers, even though the Pirates are more annoying/less dangerous. The Usurpers don't negotiate, try to threaten you into giving tech and still will attempt to exterminate you, and can commit atrocities with impunity. In the early game if they start near you no matter what you do you are very likely dead. Now that's REALLY annoying. Plus if you survive later in the game and attack them, if you DON'T use nerve gas there are tons of annoying colony pods clogging the roads every time you take a base. They slow down any non-nerve gas Blitzkrieg against the Aliens (Caretakers are almost as bad, they just aren't quite SO AGRESSIVE). Oh, and probe team ops are prohibitively expensive.

Yeah, those aliens are bad, and they stockpile missiles. God, I hate that. Everytime I build a unit and BOOM, there goes a waste of 1000 energy credits.

Best thing for every faction that gets on your nerves:

NUKES!!!!

Although, when people like Yang and Zakhorav "experiment" on their own people, it probably has no effect. That's when I wish you could assasinate faction leaders with probe teams.

Not that I ever use planet busters...

DUN DUN DAHHHHH!!!

Besides, a little nervegas doesn't do that much harm anyway.

No-one I have used nerve gas on complained to me afterwards.
The surviving citizens who witnessed it complained, but not the actual people it was used on.

Atrocities are definitely the best way to annoy the AI, but if you really want to annoy a human player, probe raping and bombardment is the way to go.
