Planet hates me. Get a bigger avatar today!

The scene: 2150, Senethro playing as Free market morgan. A couple of independant unity rovers gather pods outside his territory, each pop more than 6 worms. Come 5 turns I've lost my rovers and some scouts. Come 10 turns and I've lost 6 bases. In another 2 turns I lose 2 more bases because a Fungal tower spawns which then hit me from the back.

Needless to say, I found this horribly embaressing. What I want to know is what are peoples experiences with popping pods and receiving NL and how they cope when it happens? Inside a base grid its pretty rare, inside territory its uncommon, far outside territory the chances seem to rise and 8 worm pods are not a surprise. Does a negative planet rating or the pod being in a fungus affect the outcome?

I recall something like a summary of what makes NL appear from unity pods. Maybe even from game creators. There are many of such factors.

Support Apolyton or Terrorists Win

Wild mind worms (land units only) usually don't attack your own mind worms, so they are good pod poppers. If I don't feel like sacrificing my units and can't capture NL's I tend to limit my pod hunting activities and go after Centauri Empathy.

Worms advance to the nearest human installment, that should solve the mystery why they sometimes disappear..

..and you notice some AI doing slightly worse than usual..
