Thinking of bopping the AI with synthetics.
Problem with synthetics? Slow early game. Low pop.
Guess what? FIVE FULLY LOADED TRANSPORTS = 30 POPULATION. That's 8 fast assemblies from Spark of Life.
And you can use them in the early game to invade.
Interesting, isn't it? The AI also doesn't build any military units early game to defend their planets. Hmmmmmmm.
Does Zealot super trait give 1 ideology point or 10? Because if it gives one, then that trait TOTALLY sucks.
