No autocorrect, no correction of spelling. Its 2018 Steam.

So after 7 failed colonies and 5 wasted days i decided to start up a new one on the easiest possible settings- expect i picked 'The last war' for some exiceitment [hard].

So my base is going pretty well. about 250 people, self sustained, building bases around the map, etc.

Now because i picked the Last War, there was a War Tension counter. Now the story goes that terriosts attacks in some forgein country caused a lot of tension between countries. This is similar between the USA and mostly every other country vs rocketman and China. I also now cant import and resources either.

The only way you can get the war counter to go down, is to export rare metals back to earth. This is a slow process. Since i was making a dome desginated for schools, i was using a lot of rare metals for eletronics. This left little at a time to go towards exporting.

I basically have two bases on the map connected by a tunnel. My main base has 1 mega dome and like 5 small domes. The other base is a Mega dome, with a maybe 1 or two tile distance to a smller dome outpost for my metal production.

suddenly at 70% tension, a barge of enamy missles hits this outpost, killing 100 people, eletronics, rare metal and metal production, and causing no accplicants to be in the pool to come to mars. 5 sceonds before this happeneds i get a warning saying that the missles suddenly changed direction from the sun to mars, and i should get anti-air (the blow dryier things). Since i only had 1k per day points, i wouldnt even have gotten it 12 sols before this happened.

Its stupid in a war crisis the devoplers were so uncreative they never thought that earth might send a anti-missle defense system to mars, considering the base has so far costed them 40 billion.

I tried rebuiling, life support systems at both bases failing from lack of metals. 50 refugees were sent from earth to live on mars and i sent to to my outpost mega domb. This was still not enough, and i spent the next sol sending rockets to pick up even 5 wrong speaiclized people just to even help to get everything back up in running. This is only in the mega domb, i basically lost the small domb from lack of people.

This is all to think that even after all of this, the uncreative devoplers never though to add to the storyline about attacking the telescopes of whoever did this to prevent this from happeneing again. Or get some anti-missle to intercept when tthe missles are luanched.

I still couldnt even get the blow dryier even if i was resarching it.

Then, 10 minutes later the same thing happeneds again. The missles hit me mega domb, life support and metals production knocked out, etc. Now the sanity in all the other uneffected dombs are terrible from this, and i cant get any more people.

I know it said [Hard], but this wasnt what i was expecting. I was expecting something hard, not just impossible. Its just annoying, not fun, and wasting my time. Iv been wasiting 8 days waiting, and weeks for this break form school only for it to be wasted. Spring break is coming up, and it wont be used on this game.

This wasnt fun, this was annoying. Imagine cutting your reosurce production in half and calling it 'hard mode.' There is nothing that makes it hard just unreasltic and impossible. This game isnt creative or fun, its a boring, pointless game hidden behind good graphics and somewhat good drone AI.

Also:

I love no matter my colony location theres always a perfect cliff surrodning the tiles so i cant expand, to, for instance the other side of mars.

80% of all the space in my tiles is useless. Plain open space nothing exicting.

No way to terraform the planet and make everything it breathable. If i could expand past my tiles all over the entire surface of mars, i could build massive, maintanceless terrfiroming meachines like in Aliens.

Tunnels are useless, AI doesnt even use them.

No cool buildings. Some things cost a outrangous about for no reason. 200 million dollar sterling genartor, really? Is it made of Gold? Im paying for fuel and rocket.

The Last War storyline is boring and impossible. I don't care whats happening back on earth, since it isnt even real in the game anyways.

I also faced the last war mystery, and I will agree it is frigging hell. War is hell after all. 2 missile attacks attacking life support. aka, water with little to no back ups. After that it was over. If you have the meteor defense buildings, they should help, which I didn't either, and still don't. Honestly, the attacks taught me a bunch of things on how to manage my colony better, also know as spread out your resources so one thing can't destroy them all.
I'm sorry that you didn't have fun beating the mystery, but for me it was a thrill when WW3 was over

I played on easy expect this. You would think earth would send there 40 billion dollar mars base 4-6 prefabs of anti-meteor/ missle defenses? Metals are a big issue, same with eletronics. These were the only deposts remotely close to my base, and they keep getting barged with missles. All my life support systems are failing from this. considering i only have 1000 research because im constantly working on rebuidling, its imposisble for me to buy the defense.

Yep im referring to Kim jung un. He threatens everyone and tourchers people in work camps. If he does anything, that place will be a lake.

sorry, it's just so rare to come across trump lovers these days, especially in game forums which i found surprising because i thought they'd love the guy but nope, that has not been the case as i've seen.

What i'm trying to say is calling him "rocketman" is stupid. The US threatens everyone and tortures people (read about how new CIA director oversaw torture) and we have work camps, they're just called prisons where you're fooled to think everyone is guilty.

Also i can' t believe i just serious posted for the first time on this forum to such a very bad post.

When does the US tourture people? Where one of the only countires to fight wars to abolish slavery, not get more.

I support Trump, so does more then half the country. When Hillary clintion openely supports abortion, which is the killing of millions of babies, its not a big deal? Putin is posining people, kim is throwing people in death camps. Then you have Muslims, which have contributted to more then 22,000 deaths and 52,000 injuries via terriost attacks since 1970.

You have no idea what your talking about. The only way to win wars is to kill the enamies. We got Japan to surrender when we nuked them twice, instead of invading and killing 1 million+ US solders. Get out of your safe space and see the real world.

Slavery ended 200+ years ago.

This is a joke right?

When did the US torture? Only to fight to abolish slavery? (You might be right about that. The other countries all agreed it was awful and didn’t have to have a war over it) Trump has more than half the country’s support?

You do remember crooked hil (who’s still not in prison, btw.) had 2million more votes and Trumps current approval rating is lower than B. Hussein Obama’s ever was, right?

I’m guessing I’m the dumb one for engaging.

Never mind. I’m into alternative facts too. Please don’t respond.

there are over 1 billion muslims on the planet, if they wanted you dead, you would be. every religion has its extreme elements, including christianity.

Saying Hillary (or any politician) supports abortion is a misnomer. Hillary supports a woman's right to choose, but just about all of us who support the right to choose would prefer abortion not be chosen, making it illegal just takes it underground. Churches are failing to step up to help and educate young women in interventions and instead expend their energy and time supporting overzealous lawmakers and right wing opportunists.

Putin posioning people and basically using chemical weapons on allied soil is very troubling, especially when we have a president that appears to be in his pocket and is reluctant to acknowledge the seriousnous of these acts of war. Putin is emboldened with the current adminstrations russian policies and this is only going to get worse as US leadership doesn't have the guts to bring about economic sanctions. The Populist belief is taking the US off the world stage and Russia and China are stepping up and many Asian countries (esp. S Korea) are reevaluating their relationships. Very scary times.
To reply to all of you:

"sorry, but the whole "but hillary...." argument ended when trump won, get a new hobby."

??? You made no sense. Isnt the liberals the ones screaming in the streets because Trump won? Crybabies.

"he is also trumps best buddy."

When was this? For a very long time whe have been talking with Russia, even to fight the Nazi's. Trump is trying to get peace.

"1 billion muslims"

Theres a estimated 2.2 billion Christians on the earth, yet you never really see them commit terriosts attacks do you? Manly muslims. Mohammed who created the religion to go against Christians, was also a phsyicopath. I dont agree with the Cathloic Chruch either, but God doesnt say you have to be a Christrian or belong to that church to succsed. You just need to believe. The Catholic church has been messed up for many years. Despite of this, you dont see all the time on the news about Muslims going around and blowing up non-believers.

"you never hear of guantanamo bay?"

Ever heard of the 13 amendment?

"Hillary supports a woman's right to choose"

Its wrong. People put out thousands of shoes outside captiol building in support of banning guns (chuldren killed by guns). Im waiting for those 10's of millions of shoes on hillarys doorstep for the baby killing she supported.


"who’s still not in prison, btw."

She got caught stealing 10 million from Hati rebuilding funds, and is currently been investigated for how deep this goes. They havent found one bit of proof in the Trump-Russia investigation.

"Trump has more than half the country’s support?"

Here is Fox news Vs CNN (check last couple paragraphs):

Hillary was a TERRIBLY FLAWED candidate. Sadly she carried an air of entitlement to the nomination after then Candidate Barack Obama came out of nowhere and took it away in 2008. The email scandal alone should have probably disqualified her from running for office let alone the Benghazi diasaster, yet the fact that she still won the popular vote speaks volumes about how poor a candidate Trump was.

Fox news gains its popularity because it is the ONLY conservative news tv network so its conservative viewers are completely consolidated and not spread out across multiple networks. It has also become state run media, the stretches it makes to prop up the ridiculous amount of flaws this president and his administration has is astounding. The big draw is Hannity though with his ridiculously staged liberal stooges he argues against every night. If youre a liberal or in the middle, Fox News is side splittingly entertaining.

Trump is so nervous about Mueller, he can't shut up about it. You know something happened or this would have ended weeks ago. Half his campaign staff have been involved in russian misdeeds and indicted on it. If you watched something besides Fox news, you would know this. His constant attacks on the FBI are so telling.

Besides the Catholic church, lets not forget Waco, Jim Jones, Heaven's Gate. Those are examples of extreme christian cults that took lives, but let's not forget about the more subtle sects like the Scientologists who operate with more stealth to destroy lives. And the florida preacher who burned Korans to incite middle east violence rather than try to intervene and help young women seeking abortions.

What would Jesus do? Carry an AR-15 apparantly.

i think the fact that earth decided to nuke another planet with a small colony on it makes no sense. this solves what?

it made no sense to you because you have no argument against it. because trump won. he should be held to standard and accountable for the crap he does.

he went against the entire house of congress to veto new sanctions imposed on russia. trump did, trump alone.

That gives the US the ability to legally kidnap and torture prisoners? yes torture, the thing you have no idea the US was doing.

and using Faux News as any kind of proof makes this whole thing laughable.
