No more armies
I will never build an army again.
How?
I use “general” specialty on my admirals. I used to always use “admiral” specialty. But I just realized that you can get sweet bonuses to orbital bombardment damage by taking “general” instead. One trait at level one gives +75% orbital bombardment damage! It combines well with the component you get from racketeers for 25% extra orbital bombardment damage. Yes, you lose a bit of fleet strength by doing this. But with orbital surrender turned on, you can just casually conquer every system without the need to constantly make and replenish armies. Thoughts? Does anyone else do this?
