Invader here, lets take over this rocks!

My choices

Biological (Breeding monsters)
Subversive : Taking over the enemy from within.
by sending a few of us, whom they can't possibly destroy

Also -1 to destroying the planetary ecosystem, the diversity and stable ecosystem is valuable, not the reason we came in the first place but a nice bonus.

Okay but we need to ban the use of trained bats that plant explosives.

No need to do that, since that project was hilariously ineffective. No need to waste resources on that

Yes, yes, ineffective...

Try to move around to allow us to get somewhere else to infect people.

Find a place with one or two humans and many smaller animals, like a animal testing lab or storage facility, maybe monkeys or larger mammals?

Then we can infect one or two more intelligent humans and also infect a bunch of animals.

Also there will probably be room to hide the corpse of our current host once he matures.

Well we were planning a gun that would fire a 3 meters wide projectile.

Would that be a super gun?

Or was that a typo.

I guess that is out then!

But pistols are marginal. Of course a good pistol beats a bad pistol. But it's all about the opportunity cost.

I vote for armoured skirts for our tanks and vehicles.

Right now our pistol is "fires five times if your lucky before jamming" bad.

Try and remember a place where lots of people gather to possibly spread.

Try and remember some places with isolated individuals who could be infected without revealing yourself.

See if there are any useful weapons nearby.

are you really going to revise the pistol? if you want to make a brand new fighter next turn, vote the ammunition upgrade at least. Pistol is only for when our SMG is out of ammunition, it has a very limited role in the battlefield. We are better off not touching it.

It is the last fallback weapon, and it jams EVERY TIME it goes through a magazine.  Once we have one that doesn't jam horribly we can ignore it forever.

That just seems like a lot of people if it is going to be high altitude and have a good speed and bomb capacity.
