I believe we were playing Lal, and our opponents were six of Lal's cloned wives... :P

But really:
Say, Guardsman, remember what I said about what happens when polls close? You don't get them back. Ever. Just a warning.

We're going to be the cyborgs, dealing with Spartans, Morganites, zealots, Stepdaughters, Pirates, and one of the other non-Data-Angels factions.
Insert "Miriam" for "Other non-Data-Angels", and you're good to go.

They're nearly as bad as badgers. Build a couple of anti-buzzard SAM sites marksdwarf towers and your fortress will look like Baghdad in 2003 from all the aerial bolt spam. You waste a lot of ammo and everything is covered in unslightly exploded buzzard bits and broken bolts.

Oh, I thought that question was for "the other non-data angels faction" :P

Whoops. Silly me.

 At the first possible point we must add the Psi-defense upgrade to the basic Terraformer unit, not because it's good but because of the resulting generated name...

Yup, Cult of Planet is Zealots.  My fault for not clarifying.  I vividly recall being surprised when I saw they actually made it in the game (they die like terran flies in my games).

They're both pacifists and can readily ally when facing a common enemy. Woe to the faction that dares to use a planned economy.

Yeah, its possible. Heck, I've fought an ai pact of the Hive and Keepers before, stranger things have happened. The fact that I was easily stronger than their combined might probably factored in.

Even if Morgan gets 1 pactmate, he still has 4 other very aggresive ai factions that like to chew up the pacifists. And then there is IG's cyborgs, and I dunno how he is gonna play them. They can easily play a very solid pacifist builder game, or if desired leverage a good warmonger game with only a mere 2 techs away from impact rovers to start. And their techsteal on base capture lets them keep pace techwise while blowing everyone up.

Besides, Deirdre doesn't mind free market (despite the fact that she cannot use it), she minds pollution that unchecked free market causes. IIRC Green economics is just free market with heavy environmental regulations on top.

It's mostly a matter of priorities: for Deirdre it's 'BE GREEN. Also free enterprise? Sure, as long as it's clean.' and for Morgan it's 'FREE MARKEEET AHOY! ...what? Not raping the earth? Sure, as long as it doesn't limit the industry in the slightest'.

We are doomed. It's just that whatever is going to kill us all just happens to be, from a scientific standpoint, pretty frickin' awesome.
