	newbie question Support Apolyton, buy Galactic Civilizations: Deluxe Edition

In my current game right now I went as morgan, and so far have wiped out the believers and gaians and am working on the university and the hive on 2 different fronts...but the hive is in range for nerve gas attacks and planet busters. My question is can before I can us a PB do I have to call the council and repeal that U.N. charter or can I just go ahead and do it without having to worry about having all the other factions start wars with me.

If you drop a PB or use nerve gas without repealing the UN Charter, you have the following to worry about:

All factions declare war.
Economic Sanctions: 10 years (cumalitive if multiple offenses) of NO commerce income.
Increased eco-damage. This may take a while to kick in, but you will see the effect eventually, especially if you nerve gas away.
Permenant eneminity of the faction PB'd

If you repeal the U.N. charter, the following will happen:
Perment enemies with the faction against which you committed the atrocity.
Eco-damage may or may not occur (someone else want to confirm?).

Sunspots (special case). If you drop a PB during sunspot activity, when the UN charter has not been repealed, you will only recieve the eco damage & the permentant eneminity thingy.

Eco damage does not occur when you use nerve gas w/ charter - as far as PB's go, I dunno... never used 'em.

	Support Apolyton, pre-order Civilization IV

Thanx for the info.....the using the nerve gas (while the charter is still active) during sun spot activity works and I didn't have the economic sanctions. Of course by this time it was only me and santiago left against the U.N. so I just had the charter repealed altogether and gassed 4 of his bases to the ground and won the game.

Although I still have one question I just thought of....when I bought my smac it was only for $10 at costco (only place that has it for PC around here anymore) so I didn't get a manual..so I was wondering about nerve stapling period....I know it's an atrocity but that's pretty much all....I also wanna know if what Fitz says about stapling a captured base for 50 years is true.

thanks for the help
