Director Exploration and Intelligence orders

Southern Scout
Move west to the river, then follow the river to the unknown territory in the west, don't pop any pods untill the area is fully discovered.

Westerns Probe Foil
Head straight west, once a coast is encountered, follow it northwards, unless there is evidence of another faction/sea base in to the south. Once a base is found, infiltrate it.
Don't pop pods unless there is enough movement left to get away from a potential Isle of the Deep.

Eastern Probe Foil
Move northeast a few tiles, then east, towards the unknown base northwest of the Universities territory and infiltrate it.
Don't pop pods unless there is enough movement left to get away from a potential Isle of the Deep.

What happens if we don't get Makahlua's and dmm's orders like last time? Will we use Maniac's proposals?

[AdamTG02]

Director of Social Engineering orders

Switch to Wealth immediately. Switch to Knowledge upon receiving Cyberethics from Morgan.

Keep 50% / 50% energy rates unless the psych rate must be upped to avert riots, and using a Doctor would produce a deficit of Nutrient or Minerals. (Or, if the DIE won't consent to using a Doctor in the situation.) In that case, go to 40% Econ, then 40% Research, then 30% Econ, and so on, increasing Psych by as many 10% increments as necessary to restore order.

[DeathByTheSword]

drogue we have a some long buildqueues still from maki about dmm then we probably use maniac`s proposal!

[Maniac]

I haven't looked at the turn yet, but I suppose these will still be fine:

Orders of the Directorate of Terraformation and Colonization

Base locations: (14.54), (19.59), (6.108), (5.113), (19.107), (27.105), (30.98)

Some more former orders. You probably won't need them all but you never know:

Former SE of Sheathed Sword, to be assisted by the former in construction in that base:
Finish the mine. Then move north to build a road to new base location (14.54) along the tiles (13.61-59) and (14.58-56).

Four formers near Terminal Dogma:
Build forest on nutrient forest. Complete the road to that base; farm&solar (15.67) and forest (17.67) along the road. Then split them in two groups. Group one builds a road to new base location (19.59) along the tiles (19.63-61). Group two builds a mine&road on (18.68). If finished, build farm/condenser/roads on those flat&moist tiles east of Terminal Dogma.

Three formers near Tacticus Academy
Two of them finish the condenser. The third builds roads on the flat squares (7.85), (5.87), (6.88-90). If finished, start on another condenser on one of these tiles.

Two former en route to (27.105):
Complete road to base location. Then build sensor array on future base square. Continue with planting forest on the tile SE of base location. Then build farm/condenser/road on that nutrient tile.

Two formers en route to (19.107):
Finish road. Then build sensor array on the future base square. Then build forest and road on the nutrient tile.

Two formers near New Tassagrad (with a third one to come):
Complete road to that base. Then build a farm on the tile S of New Tassagrad. Then build a road towards the previous group of two formers to complete the "Freshwater Ring" superhighway. Plant some forest when they have spare time.

Two formers near Deus Ex Machina (with third to come):
Complete farm/solar/road. One former should create a forest E of Deus Ex Machina. The two others are to build a road to new base location (6.108).

Director of Research Orders

first choice: Environmental economics
second choice: synthetic fossil fuels

i doubt we'll get to another breakthrough (23 turns) so i guess the only way we'll get to use these orders is if we get HEC some other way *cough*probing the hive*cough*

isn't that a hive base?

[Lemmy]

isn't that a hive base?

i dunno, it isn't in uni's territory, but northwest of it....could be anyone we haven't met, though there is a big chance it is the hive.

[Drogue]

It's The Leaders Horde (Hive) I think.

[Maniac]

We got a map of Hive territory in Joeno's chat - it IS the Hive.

[DeathByTheSword]

which orders do i still need or can i play the game?

[Method]

missing IE, BP, PO, and FA. in other words, not really

[Maniac]

We have already contacted all factions, so orders from FA aren't necessary.
PO not necessary too.
And I practically assumed the role of Internal Affairs (TC, BP and IE), proposed some changes for their orders, which were accepted. No need to wait on new orders from the directors thus. Please play the game before Wednesday evening! Otherwise there will be too little time to post polls for the next Saturday chat.

[GeneralTacticus]

Well, we still need orders on how to resolve the Hive War, for my Directorate.
