Pfft, PD's are my lifesaver at the moment.
LilAnnie cannot march straight into my core worlds thanks to my overwhelming majority. Its resulted in a stalemate with both of us sending bigger and bigger fleets to try and knock out a key planet.
Its actually very fun on a strategic level as we are both now trying flanking tactics and actively seeking out weaknesses in the other's sensor grid and defence network. Its also resulted in my reclusive, isolationist civilization in dealing with other players and using diplomacy to secure support and neutrality from those around us.
All in all, PD's = FUN!
LOL, you're LucasAvis?
hahaha. Wow. Small galaxy. I'm Haman, LilAnnie's ally to the east.
