newb help needed

How can I get other civilizations (such as in the third scenario of the dread lords campaign) that are relatively loaded with ships and transports to attack the Dread Lords?  I'm starting to get smoked by these DL ships and getting no help from my "team" players.  When I hit the "attack..." button in diplomacy, I have no options.

This would be because your team is already "at war" with the DL so that's why there is no 'attack' option.  If you are playing on lower difficulties, then your teammate would be drooling buffons and won't help much.  Even on higher diffculties the AI may be hesitant to send dhips to their death vs the DL lol.

Just a help to fight the DL, learn the missile line if you can (I forget what the tech tree islimited to in this mission) and send fleets of ships at the DLs.  They can fall to mass numbers.

Thanks.  I don't think I can get missiles, but I'll try.  Drooling buffoons, heh heh....

I'm playing at challenging.  I may need to restart the scenario and just buy ships...
