The fleet attacks the most dangerous/most vulnerable ship. So if you stacked a ship with loads of shields and no weapons they would just ignore it till the dangerous ones are dead. They would go for the ship which is easiest to kill, but hands out the most damage relative. Usually if you watch they will take out the fighters first, and then larger ships. This is because fighters are easy to destroy but usually have dece

Yeah i normally go the research/influence route, but i may make them construction bases in teh future. That sounds like a good idea to me.

Build the farms and if it starts to become a problem research happiness inducing sciences, and add one happiness structure into a spare slot if you have one (which you usually do by then, because you will have got a swamp prepared for building on). The

I think you have to be at friendly or similar respect level with them. Then it lights up as an option allong with surrender and attack. This seems to be what happened in my game, im guessing this is what triggered it Hope that helps.

Wow no answer Did this get bumped off the page really fast or is it a really stupid question?

Hi guys, new to this game and so far i think its great fun. Very addictive. I was wondering though about the trade resources you get by researching certain techs.
