Ultimatums to reduce islands

[krimsalt_]

So Tori Bartok sent me an ultimatum to reduce my island count.... that would utterly break all my trade routes and cities that I've built considering with underwater and land islands Ihave about 14 and would have to reduce it to half. As a result it's basically GAME BREAKING....

I have 30 minutes.... how do i stop her from declaring war on me without losing the islands?

Blow up her stuff first.

Declare War

The longer answer is this: I've almost never needed more than 7 islands to maintain one primary and one secondary faction all the way up to executives. I use seeds, production bonus items and transport ships to ensure I only need a handful of islands to flourish.

If you absolutely need 14 islands then you need to up your military - one or two squadrons of choppers for the inland, maybe 4 to 6 basic ships and 2 to 3 anti-sub ships. Build some turrets around your most important areas, get your units in position, declare war and immediately blitz her biggest island. The choppers should be able to handle the whole island, the ship fleet will be used to counter her retaliation.

It is the only way. If you need more time to build up and prepare, you gotta load an earlier save.

I'm supporting all three factions though. And the thing is the 7 islands limit includes underwater islands...

3 main islands, 3 islands for the t3 and t4 ingredients, an underwater island for base tech goodies. Set buy orders for t4 finished goods you cant get yourself.

Or, again, military build up, war dec, and ambush.
