ideas for what to build in NA?

[GeneralTacticus]

Well, assuming I remain as governor of the Midlands, here are some draft orders for NA crawlers:

Move 14,90 crawler to mineral bonus on 17,89 and crawl minerals.
Rehome 23,91 crawler to NS.
Rehome 8,92 crawler to Tacticus Academy, then move it to 9,89 & crawl minerals.
Rehome 26,96 crawler to NS, then have it crawl minerals from 27,97.

This will allow NA to build the CDF in 10 turns, while reducing ecodamage to 30. Mineral production will go up again when we can get a crawler to the mineral bonus and move the worker onto forest. This plan will also allow for increases in production at other bases, most especially NS.

YEP CDF a priority, along with rehoming.

I am entirely in favor of General Tacticus' directions for the NA area.

[Earwicker]

I concur. While running 30 ecodamage is excessive for my tastes, we do still need a pop. Let's be prepared for it (in case the pop takes out something essential) with some formers hovering around the area. If the situation gets too dicey with pops, we can always reduce ED again. But construction of the CDF in as short a time as reasonable is a worthy goal.

[AdamTG02]

Agreed. As long as we are working on the CDF and not yet another crawler, we can justify the eco-damage for the moment. Though my long-range goal is to have no eco-damage, if we have to have eco-damage, it should lead to something. Defense of our cities via the CDF would strongly protect us from the Hive; that mitigates the still-significant eco-damage.

i have will take 3 NA crawlers that are in my region and redived them over my region bases so that the eco damage will be less

[Drogue]

I agree, although I still think it's a little high, and we don't have enough formers as it is, since we have crawlers crawling forests and nowhere decent to crawl food or energy.

GT's plan is sound. I'd favour a higher EcoD until pop, because we actually have two of these for "free" - no worms! - and they both increase the EcoD cap by one.

Which crawlers are they? They're still in my jurisdiction.

[DeathByTheSword]

yes but in my terriority i asked TKG for permission....they are two that are in the forests south of ZG and one north of ZG..all belonging to NA right now but i want to rehome them to my bases

[GeneralTacticus]

What effect would that have on NA?

[Drogue]

It would reduce the building power by 6 minerals, and the eco-damage

I think we get the CDF in 12 turns and at about 12 Eco-damage, but I'm not completely sure
