Do you ever gas your enemies? Destroy their bases? Use planet-busters?

In the council, do you vote for or against UN-Charta?
 
I never used atrocities againts my enemy.
but in my first game I slaped most of riot in conquered city and this is a MINOR Atrocities . I do not rember what the charter is about . there are other interesting vote .this is another Thread
 
No, I don't commit atrocities. I don't even mind-staple my own people.
 
I only stapled one time. That was before I knew the consequenses. I have not done any atrocities since. Never used a planet-buster either.
 
Sometimes when the war has gotten personal. I recall some nasty incidents with the Human Hive and Lord's Believers.

No planet busters were deployed. ;)
 
Most time I use them. It is the easiest way to get enough votes for the final leader position. I nuke nearly 2/3 of all enemy cities and make the poll.
bang :sniper: :( - diplomatic victory :D
 
No, I never commit atrocities. The only times I've done it, was when I was playing the demo, and didn't know what it meant. And then I only nerve stapled my drones. Never since.

Besides, it don't fit with my playing style, since I go for the diplomatic victory, with the Peacekeepers, and that would've been wrong...
 
Hey, that’s funny. I could never commit any atrocities when playing peacekeepers. Pravin Lal must be happy…

…But when I play Spartans… :evil:


Coincidentally I have never nerve stapled my drones, nor will I ever try. In fact, I’m not even sure what it does. :mischief:

after the "planet buster " everybody declar vendata
on me
 
I normally avoided atrocities back when I played SMAC. I don't think I even fielded a unit with nerve gas pods.

However, I would sometimes fire off my PlanetBusters to bring about world peace.

Eg, in one game as the Spartans, I had conquered the whole Planet bar the University who sat on their own little continent. A few Singularity PlanetBusters, and their continent was no more. One maritime base survived, which I took with a squadron of Cruisers the same turn.
 
Just got this game. Have got to keep reminding myself that this is not just Civ 2 in space.

Anyways, I normally try to keep my nose clean, but I do occasionally enjoy using Singularity Planet Busters...they're fun to watch and extraordinarily effective. Especially when the AI builds a lot of cities really close together. I've taken out as many as five cities with a single one.:evil:
 
Hm I must be a very kind person... at least when I play:evil:. I always strive for peaceful and diplomatic solutions. I wouldn't dare test using nerve gas, nerve sapling or a planet buster. I always want to see what happens, but then I don't want to. Either I don't dare or then I don't feel it's right. Chr*st - it's only a game and still I always go for transendance or Spaceship in Civ. Exept in the WWII scenario:D
 
As soon as possible, I get everyone to vote to abolish the UN charter, and then eventually go hog wild with Planet Busters all over the place. Though, by the time I'm able to deploy Planet Busters in effective numbers, I have usually already broken the back of my enemies resistance with conventional forces. So, I only use Planet Busters maybe 50% of the time, but I do want to nerve staple a lot, without pesky sanctions. Razing newly captured bases is also necessary sometimes...
 
Well, the positive thing is, when you're the "secretary-general", that, if there's a majority against you, you can always veto it. Just veto, nothing more, nothing else. Hey there's this thing that allows me to destruct cities, subject my people and all the factions are against me. Veto. Plain simple. Oh, and concerning this topic, I always end up being in some kind of war-ing world, that eventually X becomes.. logical.
 
I find it more challenging to use conventional forces.
And to keep any foolish faction leaders from using PBs against me, I pour out dozens of Orbital Defense Pods as soon as possible.

The only time a PB got past my defenses was so deterring that I've loathed the things since.
And this fuelled my hatred of the Hive, them being the ones who Busted me...
