Master of Orion II: Battle at Antares/Race design options: Difference between revisions

Requires a specific strategy to play. The lack of economical bonus requires to focus on natural Spying ability. No the easiest race to begin, more adapted for experienced players. Neural scanner should be developed as soon as possible in order to run spying operations efficiently. At least three spies should be sent operation. Spying operation ruins the diplomacy towards the target so better to spy on repulsive races without spying advances. Humans and Sakkras are also good targets because of democracy and -10 penalty. Inversely it is very risky to spy on Elerians with telepathic ability or Klackons due to unification agent bonus. Once you have stolen a technology you can exchange it with other races (new tech + better reputation). Once good technologies have been stolen, proceed with sabotage operations on your enemies to destroy starbases, missile bases and other defenses. It is relatively difficult to play with Darloks but also it is a challenge which provides a lot of satisfaction.
