I wouldnt say Spore attacked more...
Lets assume that by tick 577 80% of attacks of Spore went towards Ultores and viceversa:
Spore total incs 1229 -> 640(52%) from Ultores -> 589(48%) other incs -> 9.5 incs per member which were not from Ultores
Ultores total incs 1688(44%) ->747 from Spore -> 941(56%) other incs -> 17.75 incs per member which were not from Spore
Add that to the fact that Spore strat was very efficient vs Ultores strat and the fact they had 20% more members AND that Ultores actually had 26% more incs from non Spore than they did from Spore by tick 577 ofc Ultores had to ground fleets some nights.
See the difference? Its exactly what jermain post was about. The pre-round deals Spore had did exactly what they were supposed to do: reduce random incs. And Spore only had half the random incs per member that Ultores had.

I'd like to point out that it wasn't pre-round deals that did this but more likely deals I completed throughout the round. Once I had deals in place with CT and Faceless, we decided to go for the jugular with Ultores as they were isolated and normally Ultores gets to strike when it wants too.
We wanted to instead knock Ultores out their comfort zone. The political deals I completed up till that point had been entirely to reduce support for Ultores so that there could be more of a 1 vs 1 environment, to which I naturally knew Spore would be better off.
