Just got burned by a minor race

from GalCiv3 Forums

So, my second ideology event I get is the one where you get the more powerful Elemental building, +35bc/turn if you build it.  And I haven't built my central bank yet.  I find the right planet with a +3 wealth tile and finish the elemental.   Since I'm going to get this cash influx, I go out and buy the Mercenary transport which lets you invade worlds pre-War age.  I hurry up and invade a nearby Minor, before they orbit any ships.  Haven't finished the central bank yet.  But guess who did:  the minor race.

don't you get it back if you destroy it?  I know you do if you take it from a major civ, maybe it is different for minors.

I really hope Minors become more prominent in the game again.

Yeah I guess, but it sucks.  Have to start over building it, and lose the 8bc/ turn from the one on the minor.  

Just thought it was hilarious that I got burned by a minor.

This is the first time I've heard about Minor races causing any issues, since they were nerfed.  It is pretty funny.

Lesson learned:   build your Computer Core and Central Bank before conquering your first minor or first AI capital.   Duh I knew that already....

Some of my funnier happenings in my play:

-  Getting the pirates Mega event when I'm Snathi.

-  Getting the Pre-War Transport mercenary on a Tiny map, and winning the game on godlike 20 minutes in.

I avoid the pre-war transport, as it is very OP.

but yeah, pirates as Snathi is unavoidable, if it comes, so that is a fun one
