Spore makes some awesome stories sometimes. It's not as good at it as DF (understatement), but still...
You see, there was a civ planet neaby my space-age planet. They were all broken up into one city apiece, and weak, empty cities at that. I decided that my nice, friendly people would help one of these nations conquer everyone else. I looked at everyones fleet, and it turns out that Cyan had the second biggest air fleet on the planet. Good, because they won't attack without massive numerical superiority. So I stuck myself to the cyan nation.
Now, I routinely carry around a small population of my species because I like to drop a couple in each allied city I visit. It's a flavor thing, you see. Well, I dropped one of my people into the Cyan city, intending him to act as an ambassador. Then, I followed their little air fleet around as we attacked several cities in rapid succession.
As me and my new friends were blasting the Green city into literal bite-sized bits, the Blue nation got it into their heads that our flank was open. They ran over and took the Cyan capitol (the first city)! Me and my fleet of Civ-Aircraft sprinted immediately over to the newly conquered city, but the Blue army was nowhere to be seen! We took back the city, and I decided to show those Blue bastards what the Cyan nation does best!
Recruiting alien overlords to do their bidding!
After the smoke from the Antimatter bomb cleared, I went back to my squad of airplanes. I helped them take over two more cities before dropping a monolith in the capitol and leaving.
God bless the Cyan.
