Bah, A thousand guns built by human hands is just as good as a thousand built by infernal abominations. Ad victorium.

I think that brings us up to +3 for Moerth over the last turn.

Only if your robot armies can apply obscene amounts of sheer overwhelming firepower.
They apply only enough force to cause a cessation of vital functions in a bloated fleshsack and move on to the next. Wars are won by efficiency...

Overwhelming firepower? Just wait until you pull into orbit of A2 and get a faceful of mmph-mmpphh-mmpphh!

Amaok confirmed for inventing brain stealing nanite swarms. We need to invent shields faster, guys.

Obviously a joke. If our internal security people wanted you *ahem* convinced of something, they would do it... quieter.

As a general rule, it's safe to assume Amaok High Command doesn't want you dead. The people they want dead, are dead.

Do you mean energy shields? Various forms of shield have been around for a very long time, generally based upon some form of mass-interference-mass technology...

Also, would those be "shields" as in a relatively mobile protection or "shields" as in "armour"?

Energy shields shaped like bubbles AND tower shields. We deploy them on small mecha, piloted by plucky 12-year-olds. Simulations show a 97% effectiveness against nanite-cloud based weaponry.

(Only three percent of our 12-year-old test subjects died excruciating deaths! Don't believe what you heard about the other casualties, the 100% overall casualty rate was a myth! We did NOT fatally irradiate them all, I swear!)

I mean, wouldn't powerful EMP fields or flamethrowers be more useful against nano swarms?  Otherwise they could just overwhelm your defenses.

We didn't want to unleash too many :WarCrimes: just yet.

I mean, if you would like we can whip out the mini nukes, but I'd prefer to keep this disagreement civil. No nanokillers, no nukes. Agreed?

I am pretty sure that the average Moo-urfi is a bioweapon. They are all-too biological and if nothing else their scent is lethal.
