Ship Special Weapon, a | Ship Special Weapon, a biological bomb, which can only be dropped on a colony from zero range, if the attacker does not have [[Master of Orion II/Power | Transporters]]. Each Death Spore bomb has a 10% chance of killing a colonist. Your diplomatic relations will suffer severely if you use them, but that seldom matters as Repulsive is the most common negative pick in [[Master of Orion II/Race design options | race design]].<br />Miniaturization: Reduces size and cost.<br />Modifications: none. | ||
Best choice for non-Creatives: Lithovores cannot have Soil Enrichment, | Best choice for non-Creatives: Lithovores cannot have Soil Enrichment, so they have no choice here. Other races should usually take Soil Enrichment, if they produce less than 4 food per farmer on their homeworld, otherwise take Cloning Center. Cloning Center is more effective in the short term, while Soil Enrichment is more effective in the long term, since you would always benefit from extra food, while the Cloning Center offers no benefit when your population is maxed out. Empires that do not take Cloning Center should make sure they use [[Master of Orion II/Growing your population | Housing colonies]]. Death Spores are not be a serious threat to yourself or your enemies while ships are slow and no-one has [[Master of Orion II/Power | Transporters]]. | ||
