Well its not like your weapons cease to exist, it’s more like the nation paying you ceases you exist so you have no reason to risk your life securing the city.

I believe when nations are sending a communication with you to cut off trade routes you can move to their city and click contact to get rid of the communication and not have to take the minus relation punishment for declining.

@Wonderingax

@@sitfish1113 Absolutely. I don't think you need this but for those curious here's an explicit guide from me. I tried to play with one city as long as possible, befriending everybody, the further a nation is from cities you want to buy the more you should be funding their army, so if you buy one of them they wont feel threatened. Of course try making them invade cities far away from those cities as well. The game is easier if you have an economic fleet (trade routes strengthens friendships) from the beginning but I think it is unlikely that you will spawn with that on hard, it's not something I remember getting, so most times I had to buy one. Buying a city is really tricky because it can mess an entire game (you can reload the game but still), if in doubt, don't, most times just hold the route with one vehicle minimum, buy if sure it won't ruin strong religious/military alliance. I think Spore makes your enemies stronger than your allies so try having none until one nation has a clearly bigger army and fund that one to make things faster. Be both efficient with your city builder and patient, you will win by using a big ammount of money very late on the game. All AI economic nations die eventually so don't bother. Im not sure if you can win without the finishing ability, if you want to challenge yourself even more it's a good idea. Edit: Mistakes and typos
if there’s one thing that ticks me off about civ stage it’s how nations can just randomly hate you for doing what you’re supposed to, or by no control of your own. -Nation too big, Borders too close, Being a certain type of city, Being a threat - (in a recent playthrough i had 2 cities and was under a relentless assault by a military nation that felt like they had infinite sporebucks, and a much bigger nation Somehow declared ME a threat even though i had like no vehicles and was borderline going to die... i did still win because i befriended that big nation so i could farm money till i had enough to snowball my way to fanatical frenzy but yeah..) otherwise it’s mostly fine

recently did a full pacifist run to space, no kills whatsoever. decided, for the extra difficulty, to go from religious to economic immediately via tribe vehicles. bad idea. ended up with what felt like the slowest economic vehicle in existence, with no way to change it or get more until buying out a city, which took like ten minutes. damn you cream sedan lol

I have in my notes you asked "what occurs if we destroy a tribe in Tribal Stage after it has been allied," though I can't find the original comment. However, the tribe can be destroyed after allying but there is no cutscene and we don't get any additional progress on the progress bar for destroying the tribe once it had already been allied. Although this does impact the History timeline by lowering it by the amount of tribe members killed, so this could be useful there! We can't normally attack an allied Tribe but we can lower the relationship using the Firebombs Chieftain ability in order to attack them :)

first time playing spore i was economic, i had like 2 cities by the end of it and still won, because i befriended the biggest military nation, gave him money to kill everyone else, and because we were allies and no onw else was around, they called me, said we should become one nation, and i didn't even have the option to say no, which was great because otherwise i would have to slowly buy all of his cities lol, that was normal difficulty.
Cool video :D
It's not a problem to beat civ stage as economic. It is a problem when you started as military/religious, but still want an economic trait for space stage (or e.g. going for scientist archetype through red->red->blue->blue) and the first economic city only appears on the other continent. Worse still if it's an inland city. Happened to me last time I tried. That was a lengthy session.
Civilization, my favorite stage!
I always feel dirty when I play an economic civ.
I just leave my comment here to support the Spore community.
