Just watched the Brazilian walkthrough video again and thought of a great strategy for Brazilia.
Load out
Brazilia
Unique ability: Improved Melee units
Colonists: Mercenaries (Better military)
Spaceship bonus: Lifeform detector (Tells you where the bugs are)
Cargo: Weapons arsenal
You do what Pete did in the first run through of the demo and slaughter all the native wildlife.
The Hostile alien thing is apprently global so it will effect factions on the otherside of the world.
This gives the following bonus
*It allows you to stir up trouble for your rivials (no mater where they are)
*It will particularly the growth of non Military Factions as they will loose workers and explorers to the enraged bugs (they may even be wiped out)
*Brazilian Military units gain veterancy faster (Faster still if you choose the Might trait)
*If you choose Scavenging you get Energy from killing bugs making you richer.
*This all happans without you taking a Diplomacy penalty as you arent attacking them
-On the down side you will deal with more alien attacks but so will your rivials and with a Military faction and with stronger units thanks to all the bugs you killed to cause the problem you will still come out ahead (Event better if you manage to wipe all the Hives out on your island contient.
Admitedly they can build the Ultrasonic fence around there settlements to protect them but the aliens will still attack them outisde of that 2 hex radius and it will the growth (Getting pods, Performing experditions etc)
What do you think?
