Yeah, I picked up on this - I was thinking the CA crystal ball means you get to see which planets were originally yellow for the target player, so you can selectively deterraform to red.
|
CAs can do that, of course, but the tactic itself is flexible enough to work with non-originally-red planets, and for non-crystal-ball-using races too.

I'm assuming the combination of bombs means you get the world largely intact. A pity you can't use packets since everything with packets happens before bombs - even single year strikes.

"largely" is the key word, yup. PP can use monster packets to achieve much the same, and even AR if they got a mineral fountain. IS can just dump 10 million shock troops to achieve the same, and I guess some sufficiently motivated WM could try a large invasion too.

Yet another reason to ban CA.

Why bother, when other races readily gang up against them, and can use the same CA tools (if they managed to acquire them) or lotsa smart bombs to level the playing field. 
So many Stars, so few Missiles!
