Bizarro World Year Zero Club?

"Us do opposite of all Earthly things! Us hate beauty! Us love ugliness! Is big crime to make anything perfect on Bizarro World!" -- The Bizarro Code.

What would one have to do to earn a Year Zero Loss? Of course, using the Surrender button would be cheating.

Start game, abandon homeworld.

Or even selling homeworld to the AI.

Those are too easy. I was thinking more along the lines of a "suicide by cop" scenario, where you provoke another civilization into attacking you, giving them invasion tech if they don't already have it.

Well, in that case.  If you get the invasion tech and make a transport that they will be able to use (aka life support extends out far enough for them) and give that to them prior to declaring war, then they may just use it in time.  Depending on the AI to get something done in the way of invading w/in the first year is often fairly hard.

Well, if you set up the senario to begin with: Tiny map, War of the Gods senario, drengin opponents, take over another planet, build transports there, sell the other planet and the transports to the Drengin after placing them outside your capital and make taxes 100% to discourage breeding.

Or, as an influence loss: Same senario, Krynn opponents, spend several turns churning out constructors to build Influence starbases and sell them off.
