In the upcoming agenda phase, would you like my racial promissory note and 6-8 trade goods? All I want in return is you to exploit Letnev overextending into my space

Had this queued up before Preda's action, but didn't post since I wasn't sure if any more Sabotage dealing/calling was gonna go on. Let me catch up, and I'll run the combat once I'm there.
Yeah, Mojo didn't offer anything to sabotage so I guess I can't get any much needed economic stimulus
A sabotage wouldn't make a huge difference outside of a minor delay. Letnev are fully committed to taking my systems. It's a strategy that is not super likely to pay off unless nobody takes advantage of him becoming spread very thin, in which case he'll have a huge manufacturing base and flood the map with fleets of Dreadnaught IIs. We shall see!
I've never seen player elimination in TI before but this could be a first

Letnev is the 3rd worst race in the game according to the accumulated stats at bgg.
That sounds like a funny list, they seem firmly middle of the table to me
Yin, Sardakk Norr and Winnu should be vying for those bottom positions

We're already at max Dreadnought IIs, we can't build any more :P
I was also far less committed than you think, aside from wanting you off Wellon when I was expecting Cruiser II + Neuroglaive chicanery.

Oh, no. There are many options open with the play of that card.

A sabotage wouldn't make a huge difference outside of a minor delay. Letnev are fully committed to taking my systems. It's a strategy that is not super likely to pay off unless nobody takes advantage of him becoming spread very thin, in which case he'll have a huge manufacturing base and flood the map with fleets of Dreadnaught IIs. We shall see!
I've never seen player elimination in TI before but this could be a first
That sounds like a funny list, they seem firmly middle of the table to me
Yin, Sardakk Norr and Winnu should be vying for those bottom positions
I was also far less committed than you think, aside from wanting you off Wellon when I was expecting Cruiser II + Neuroglaive chicanery.
