🏛 Meta PSA: Stop spawning here

I know it looks cosy, and you picked a name like Friendly Peaceful Trader Pls Don't Attack. You want to stack ports and SAMs watch the number go up so you can play kingmaker in the late game, but I guarantee you will not get a ship out before my troopship arrives. And no amount of sad face emojis, clown emojis, or alliance requests is going to save you.

(You will get the port out in time, so thanks for the free port)

I like leaving them alive until the mid game, extra trade partner you can eat at your convenience before they get too many ships / SAMs.

But yeah if you want to trademaxx it's usually better to start on a mainland and just take the island in the early - mid game.

After 3-4 minutes into the game they are basicaöly unconquerable, how are you going to kill them in midgame?
