Post-Conquer Cheese
from
Stardock Forums
I'm new to this forum, but I've been lurking recently and in all the discussions I've read about cheese tactics I haven't seen this one talked about. Some people may not have discovered this yet...
Step(1) Immediatley after destroying/conquering/assimilating an enemy's last planet, go to the diplo screen. (Until the end of your turn, you still have access to it)
Step(2) Offer your recently destroyed enemy peace... but at a price!
Take whatever money or influence you can get for peace.
Step(3) After they accept, you now have access to trading trade goods, techs, and ships. Ask for all their techs, money (if they have any left after they bought peace with you), and any ships/starbases they have that you desire.
Step(4) In exchange for all those goodies offer them your trade goods and techs. If that's not enough, offer them money over 50 turns (which you won't have to pay since they won't exist next turn).
Step(5) Clean your keyboard. It smells like muenster.
Why hasn't this loophole been plugged yet?
