Waab is correct, both have communistic tendancies. Anyways im a kind man when the people do what you're told after all, all Hive bases come equipped with defenses to keep the people safe from hostiles such as mind worms.

Its abit more realistic then the anarchists and the worlds government

from my view, the Hive is a stalinistic state, like the SU under Stalin, China under Mao etc., while the free drones try to be the idealistic communism philosophers like Marx had in mind. The drones (truly, imo) seek a free and enjoyable life for every member of their society, while the Hive is driven by the hunger for power of their functionaries, and ultimately their leader.
Imo, those two are (theoretically) as much opposed to each other as Deidre and Morgan.

I wouldn't go so far as calling the Data Angels anarchists, they want as much personal freedom as possible, but still accept rules necessary for their society. Just as for the peacekeepers, free expression for the individuals is most important for them, although i suppose that running a planetary government would be too much for them ^_^.


by the way, Lazerus, would you mind sending the future turns to thrarxx@hotmail.com ? The other mail is pretty much spammed to death, and i won't use it much longer i think. It should also work with zipped turns then (for the hotmail account only). gl hf all

Hotmail is so slow at the moment ... turn sent in about 3 minutes when the page eventually loads.
Damn i'm having a bad game at the moment In the other game i'm in right now i've already got a base past 20 minerals causing eco damage that has snatched a SP and my pop is atleast 1.5 times bigger and my tech and former production in this game pales in comparison ... ah well time to struggle on blindly (this is probably one of the few games i've tried blind research, dont even play it against the AI that often lol).

Turn 2145 sent to Brother Thrar

ps, yes arci i realise your starting island is by far the worst of the lot

Just been reading some of the strategy guides written by Vel and apparently the Hive is one of the best builder factions beaten only by the drones! and damn that -2 economy otherwise i'd be unstoppable . Peacekeepers are powerful thanks to their almost certain governor status until they're beaten in a war and easy pop booms. Probes obviously form the backbone of the Angels play. Aki is the one of the most powerful human factions and the Drones start off as a mouse that learns to roar after their punishingly (well normally) slow start

You are, thats why i said normally, had you been alone and taking 20years to get centauri ecology at the start i think thats when the drones are supposed to be punished to make up for their massive later game bonuses. Remember to leave some space for me when you start cranking out those crawlers
