When full war has broke, they started to rob, kill and enslave under hypocritical name "Lawmakers" .After other factions united against them they were forced to run away in the pods, taking little resources but weapons and slaves, with little hope to survive without any tools....

I forgot about those? Strange.

You had 500 habitation word of huts, I believe.

Except of course we have not handled anything yet.
You don't know we are on the planet and have no means of finding out how we are handling things even if you do find out I'm here.
So your faction can't want to kill me yet.

I haven't even decided how I'm going to handle things yet for that matter, depends how things go early on to what approach I'll take.

Costs of conquering you is very vague though, 420 soldiers is not a huge force.
And physical strength won't do you much good when your being shot from from several hundred feet away or more.

Niether do you know them for that matter.

I wouldn't underestimate a highly trained force operating from inside Jungles. The Americans did, and they lost vietnam.

I've planned for that :).

I'm not starting any wars for probably about a year yet, I have a few things I need to build first.
So I plan to explore and conquer my little island which should be doable fairly easily since I doubt many if any of the other colonies on it have close to enough man power to resist me.

Then spend some time incorporating and training more soldiers, I need to design some special bullets and bombs and stuff, get transports, ships, more tanks and gunships, fighters, drones and a lot of other nice little toys.

Then I'll consider invading another island.

I'm not fighting any battles until I've explored the entire battlefield and found a way to make it work for me, if all else fails I'll do what the Americans should of done. Burn the forest to the ground first with the enemy inside it if possible.

That's just what they did. Napalm bombardements and Agent orange. Didn't help them at all.

Mesor. Your plans are funny for a game like that :)

As for burning down the jungle (BTW, first you need to discover my guys IC) It's quite doable, but is that worth economically? And I suspect that with your strategy, you'll get busy fighting all other factions at once long before you land at my island

You know, I think if I can get some munitions factories up and running, I should just pull a switzerland, and be no ones ally, but do business with all of you.

Armor won't help you much against what I have in mind :).
But it will be useful in some cases I guess.

But we should work together, since it looks as if I'm going to have a significantly larger ability to produce drones then you are :).
And it looks like my faction already wants to kill you because of the way you handle things, so when we meets its going to mean war most definitely, and yes you might be able to produce more drones, but I'm the only one with the tech to make them currently.
I might be able to, too, actually. I'm not sure, though...forgot to specify what stuff I had...

You know, I think if I can get some munitions factories up and running, I should just pull a switzerland, and be no ones ally, but do business with all of you.
I might do something similar. More like early-20th-century America, maybe...meh, maybe not. Maybe like a mix of Switzerland and China.

Oh, and mesor: Your plan's doomed to fail. It's Vietnam plus several other nations supporting Nam, and without allies. Maybe if you actually are more powerful than all of us...but I wouldn't bet on that.

I don't think there'll be to many wishing to support them.  They did fuck up everyones shit on the boat.

I may get same support as Bin Laden got from the USA in Afganistan, enemy of my enemy...  but really, fighting for some worthless jungle isn't the best idea ever. It's not like I'll have serious industry soon

I think mesor will get serious internal problems sooner or later,  He has many civilians, plans to have war economy and want to enslave nearby civilian settlements and recruit more troops. That a receipt for rebellion

I have a similar problem. Even worse, my society have way to many slaves. But my core force are identical fascistic clones trained to kill. I hope that I can control my slave population without serious problems

My biggest problem is that I don't know what I can do.
That, and no military (yet?)

Yeah, having no weapons in this world is not the best idea

But you have industry and research base to build whatever you want. And should do that quickly or may get zergrushed

And If I were you, I would keep radio silence

Look at the bright side, at least you have an industrial base.  If Adwarf was a little more hostile I'd likely be royally screwed right now.

I haven't decided if I'm actually going to attack yet or not..

I'm just considering my options, at the moment I have about a dozen other projects to sort out before I consider going to war.
