One thing that has always bugged me in BE, and something I hope can be fixed here, is that limitations of affinity resources means that it's better to build the economy of one affinity and the army of another. Perhaps the resources should be divided between military (alien resources) and...

I made sure to get at least one of each victory. I've done emancipation, transcendence and domination more than once.

Is there any way to dig something out of the XML about this?

You get the kill a worm quest the first time you see a worm.

We know arid has more worms. What else is different about the biomes?

Or: Automate-internal/Automate-external trade route buttons.

You could station troops around it so there's nowhere for the AI to put melee forces.
