Hive corners Energy Market in 2234
Yes, it's not a misprint. The Hive succeeded in 2234 in cornering the global energy market (and Morgan was in the game too)
Following Tokamak's thread on how to get the AI to techshare, I built a scenario with 4 factions subservient to the fifth from the beginning, with only you (Lal) and Colonel Santiago remaining free.
And it works like a charm !!
They tech-shared like crazy, gifted each other units, voted en-bloc at the elections and council proposals.
Is this impossible to win? I dunno, but even having built the scenario, I've been thumped three times now by this AI alliance.
Try it for yourself.
Download Game #10 (advanced, smax) from:

(There's also a SMAC version available there for anyone without SMAX - also generates a powerful AI using Deirdre and Miriam in lieu of Aki and Domai)
I'd be interested in game comments and impressions.
