I was in a game that I lost, because I was second in millitary power, on the evil side and Green and light blue attacked me. I could not maintain the peace, even with high diplomicy. I had lots of money from trade goods but with millitary production and the spending slider at 100 percent. that only lasted a few years. And I did have trade with the green guys and was spending over 100 credits a turn on destabilization.
All that being said, the only way I almost won the war was to set the ships the red guys gave me to auto attack, (they joined the war with me) and kill trade.
As the weaker power of three strong powers it would have been really neat to have an autoattack for trade and constructors, simmilar to what the uboat did for Germany in WW2. The problem is when the ships autoattack a battle cruiser....
I don't think I am the only one who needs to buy time until Dreadnaught in the mid game on normal intelligence. I don't think it would kill the game balance to have a specific war on trade when in a weaker position.
