BOOM! for a late afternoon snack of Yor parts. 4,064 points. Continue my stealth movement up to ED - move so slowly he won't notice.

VoT now GAT
Hey PB your about as quiet as 300lb gorrila trying to open a suitcase full of banana's. When your within a million all get worried. When you moving to GalCiv2
Yeah well, I'm not too happy with the Drengin right now either - I tried to play a Genius AI's map just to see what would happen and if my strats would still work ..everything was great until WHAM! the Drengin came calling with Corvettes and stuff (I hadn't even met them yet) and demanded tribute. Well this was a delicate time for me since my trade routes to the Arceans hadn't even arrived there yet and well..I got a case of the stiff upper lip and basically told them to goto h*ll. *cough* Which, as it turned out, was kind of the wrong strategy for the moment. *ahem* They declared war and once they did their allies (I forget who..didn't really matter) joined them and suddenly my no military approach wasn't looking too rosy for Our Hero.

When they ask for tribute refuse but with the conversation screen still open, offer something smaller. Like 10 credits for 50 turns or a couple of techs. They usually will like your smaller gift more then there demand and actually move their diplomacy up with you.

I usually refuse two or maybe three times before bribing them. Need to be careful doing this though, for sometimes they will take you gift and thank you and say, "but the war will continue!"

BOOM! for 4,027. This was a really hard game. The AIs would not trade with me for some reason. I had to buy freighters and initiate all my own trade routes.

Try sending one of the endgamesaves to CariElf and see if she can tell you.

Well, if playing a no-military approach, you need to accept all their demands. Or reject and offer them something else instead
PB. Consider yourself FUELED. Just got back in port from a 4 day jaunt. Internet was down the whole time because of some of the operations we were practicing. Will attempt to BOOM tomorrow.

BOOM for a tad over 62k. Yeah, I decided it was time for a name change at the CORE.

BOOM!
And I think my chances of getting third place before either RicBayer or PB are less than zero. (Not that I'm planning on slowing down any...)
