Hellfire and Egoism

[wodin]

Well latest game start I came across old tech Hellfire (might have been Hellraiser) missile unit that had four vehicles with just one shot. Turned out that one shot was a regime killer odds went to 147:1! I took out a regime city and all it's defending units in one attack, bye bye regime\nation. Wish it had three shots or so.

On the other hand second age of event was age of Egoism...it's a relationship killer...after way to many turns of Egoism by the time it finished everyone hated me.

Sounds like you found some nuclear missiles there.

1st Era is always positve.
2nd Era is always negative.
At least that is my observation.

I've had the era of egotism as well. I generally like the era system (I assume it effects the AI as well) but holy hell is egotism way too bad. I basically have had to replace all my leaders in my current game because of it.

I had an Era of Egotism. It wasn't bad: only one of my leaders was basically useless afterwards. The key to success was that most of my leaders agreed with my Regime Profile. Era of Egotism really tests how loyal your leaders are to your regime. Those who really dislike the regime's profile won't last.

I usually don't make my initial regime speech until AFTER I review the starting factions. I might just have to steer into what they like, if they generally don't like anything the regime currently offers.

I had EGoism as my second age, so didn't have a clue how to deal with it except praying for it to finish!

Also if they where nukes there was no radiation issues afterwards. Shame I couldn't have just fired one missile at a time instead of all four at once. I'd have fired two and kept two back.
