Morgan is putting on a lot of pressure but you're holding up very well, and even managed to take the battle to him. Very well played. I wish I could do that with Lady Deirdre in my game but she's on another continent. It will have to be a battle for tech superiority and currently she's in the lead.

[@EdooGamingH]

It is tough when they are on another continent - Cruisers with adv. reactors can ferry lots of troops, but as you said - its a tech race. She should have very green units most likely. I had Deirdre somewhat strong in my Spartan game, worms can be trouble and her Needlejets as well.

[@JH24821]

​@@EdooGamingH Yeah, I'm considering bribing her neighbors to go to war with Deirdre (they've all fought with her before) but even though it may distract her it may also give her even more bases. It's 2305 and Deirdre's tech income is 3600 per turn which is insane, she's beelining to the Secrets of... techs. She has the Seeker Algorithm so tech stealing is more difficult too. I'm beelining towards Digital Sentience to be the first to get Cybernetic.

4:58 How did you access that huge screen of units? Is it a shortcut?

[@EdooGamingH]

Hey, yes its a shortcut, when you have selected a unit press 'a' and it will open the window. Its in menu Action -> Activate Now... but shortcut is convenient.

@@EdooGamingH Thanks

[@cymru_am_byth]

Off topic question apologies in advance. Does the game let you know how long an AI is sanctioned from Commerce for, other than the initial easily missed message? Got an out of control Morgan in my game and my pact partner Cha' Dawn just screwed our income for x amount of turns by causing an atrocity but can't find out for how long...

[@EdooGamingH]

I dont think so, I will try to find out and repost here. You should be able to reload autosaves and find out when sanctions started, game is autosaving every turn.

[@EdooGamingH]

Should be 10 turns.. but dont know how can you see when it finishes unfortunately.
