Jedinica Vrijstaat orders, MY 2282 onwards

Requests to the DPO
When we get the Nano Factory (which shouldn't take more than 2 turns with all the crawlers being made), please upgrade all non-clean JV-homed units (3 in Concordia, 1 in each of Pandemonium, Sheathed Sword, and Terminal Dogma, last I checked), to provide marginal (but important) mineral boost. Most important are the 3 in Concordia.

Until then, please re-home the Concordian Gatling Squad (5-1-1) to Valhalla, to balance the industrial output a bit.

Requests to the DIA

Rush requests:
Aero Complex in Sheathed Sword: 40ecs
Hybrid Forest in Valhalla: 140ecs

Orders for the Commissioner

Build queues
Please follow them exactly. All are changed.

Concordia
change from Chaos Tank to Secret Crawler (40 min crawler)
Queue 7 Secret Crawlers

Be prepared to change production to The Universal Translator when enough crawlers are available to insta-build it.

Pandemonium
change from energy satt to Supply Speeder (30 min crawler)
Queue 7 Supply Speeders

Sheathed Sword
finish aerospace complex (rush with 10 mins over: 40ecs)
Queue 7 Supply Speeders

(note: I'm not sure I should bother with a Hybrid Forest here, since there's only one forest square in the base radius... but if we run out of need for crawlers, put a Hybrid Forest in)

Terminal Dogma
change from energy satt to Secret Crawler (40 min crawler)
Queue 7 Secret Crawlers

Valhalla
finish Hybrid Forest (rush with 10 mins over: 140ecs)
Queue 7 Secret Crawlers

Supply crawlers

Move one of Concordia's nutrient crawlers to the unworked forest square S,S,W of Valhalla (outside of base radii) and crawl minerals. (this should bring it up to 40 from the 38 that will result from my worker and unit-rehoming orders)

All JV crawlers (except those crawling minerals, or crawling nutrients for Sheathed Sword or Valhalla) should be considered available to assist in the insta-building of secret projects. My priorities are as follows:

The Cloning Vats (in New Apolyton... insta-build the thing! )

The Universal Translator (in Concordia, will be available to build in 2283, please switch Concordia to this when enough crawlers are available to insta-build it and... well, insta-build it Think of it as buying 2 techs...)

The Nano Factory (in DEM or possibly New Suez, wherever, just ship crawlers over if it will allow construction by the next turn) ... note: when this is completed, please upgrade (among other things) the units in Concordia that are still non-clean, thanks

The Living Refinery (in DEM or possibly New Suez, ditto to The Nano Factory, but less of a priority)

The Dream Twister (wherever)

The Pholus Mutagen (in Aurora, most likely)

If no such projects can be insta-built in a given turn and there are still JV-built crawlers, there are 3 general uses I have in mind:

1. if a JV base ceases to be able to produce it's assigned crawler type in 1 turn, assign mineral crawlers as necessary to remedy the situation.

2. *IF* it will change our tech rate (unlikely at this point, unless we drop back to 3 turns for some reason), re-home them to Concordia and have them work the energy park (which didn't crash in my latest tests, but save before trying just in case) for energy.

3. If Concordia can't change the tech rate with the extra energy, rehome the crawlers to New Apolyton (our best cash base, correct?) and work the energy park for energy... but please be prepared to pull the formers off for insta-building.

Crawlers assigned to 2. and 3. should be considered "available" for instabuilding Secret Projects.

Formers

Instead of giving former orders, I'll just give a list of what terraformation I would want in the end, as the list of detailed former orders would become too long now they can too double the work than before. Please tell me when you want the other order format after all. If you want me to make a picture with this list put into symbols on a map of Jedinica, I'll do so.

Updated for already done terraformations.

All sea tiles: kelp farm, tidal harness
(14.60) NE-NE of ShSw: soil enricher
(19.65) NE of TeDo: (nut bonus square) replace forest with farm, soil enricher and Condensor
(21.69) SE-SE-SE of TeDo: soil enricher
(19.69) S-SE of TeDo: soil enricher

When these tasks are completed, have the JV formers improve Solaris... if in doubt, roads and forest (with a little mag tube here and there to make it all easily accessible) ... Lucky, feel free to make orders as if you had a great deal more formers than you actually do

Should Solaris become completely formed (not entirely out of the question), consider the JV formers available for any (legal) work, faction-wide... I love mag tubes

Workers

Concordia:
-Take the worker off the Echelon Mirror square NW of Concordia.
-Convert all 3 specialists to Thinkers.

Thanks.

there, now did i miss anything?

My comments as DIA: I did indeed poll the Uni Translator and the Dream Twister, and although the polls are not closed it's pretty clear. I've already volunteered Concordia for the Translator, so if TKG doesn't mind (I'll ask in PM) let's have UNPD build the Twister.

Re: the borehole orders... TKG is correct that his vote brings the green borehole from 3-4 against to a 4-4 tie... if he gets to break the tie, the result is clear, and if I get to break the tie I defer to his judgement

Also, just a suggestion for those upgrade requests: wait until we've built the Nano Factory, then go nuts

[Cedayon]

Two comments about my (JV) orders that I'd like to be more visible than they are buried amongst build queues and such...

1) JV, with the exception of finishing (via rushes) the Aero Complex in Sheathed Sword and the Hybrid Forest in Valhalla, is building nothing but crawlers this whole upcoming turnchat. The main purpose is to insta-build the upcoming Secret Projects, but I gave alternative uses as well if such insta-building is either completed or not possible at any given time.

2) JV is almost completely formed, so when the last of my former orders are completed (and please do complete them, GT, they won't take long) I'm essentially turning control of them over to the faction as a whole. I'm sending them to Solaris first, since it could definately use some forest and such. Lucky, this would be your cue to decide and post which Solarian squares you want something other than forest on

After Solaris is completely formed (not out of the question if this turnchat goes 7 turns), send them wherever... perhaps to Twin Sea to build massive amounts of boreholes

You'll note I did so.

[Cedayon]

Just making sure

[GeneralTacticus]

All right, still need orders from MWIA, WoA, Voltaire, Archaic (although I can deal with that), and whoever is doing the orders for Akiria.

[MrWhereItsAt]

Orders are on the way. I will not be in the chat, but will have orders ready within a few hours.

[Archaic]

Completing my stay as sock puppet for GT, I give him total control over my region for this turnchat. If I recall correctly, it's not like there's really anything further to develop in the region anyway. Keep the rushing as normal, build whatever clean military as needed, and make building any new facilities the topmost priority (Well, beside the SP builds anyway, of which there's....2 this turnchat for the region? I can't remember, it's late and I haven't slept in 2 days. ^^; ).

[GeneralTacticus]

We have 1 SP earmarked for Centralis - the Cloning Vats in NA. And just how many more facilities does Centralis need, anyway? AFAIK, there's not a whole lot left to be built except sats.

[MrWhereItsAt]

Rehome

Concordia Gatling Squad move to Valhalla, rehome and return to Sentry in Concordia (JV Gov request)
Aurora: - rehome Scout Patrol there to be supported from that city

Believer Incursion at Circular Quay
Chopper from NA to TacAc
Attack the first turn possible

Locusts of Chiron near DEM
This depends on what the locusts do generally. If they go for bases, there is nothing to do but wait for them to attack DEM. If they damage terrain improvements, move Empath Chaos Rotor from Egregion to NA this turn, to Zanarkand Gate next and then attack the Locusts.

Standing orders
At UNSG, continue to attack Hive targets of opportunity until afull complement of Defensive units fill the two transports in Egregion.


The following orders are all to be carried out as funds permit AFTER the Nano Factory ahs been built. None of these upgrades are judged to be particularly important over any other at present.


Upgrade after Nano Factory as funds permit

The immediate following relates to the UNIT SLOTS THEMSELVES. I want the Commish to go into the U unit design screen, find these units and upgrade the whole unit type. This will free up some slots for possible future prototypes.

Empath Scout Rovers to Empath Recon Rovers (1) - slot free
Trance Plasma Sentinels (4) to Clean Silksteel Sentinels - slot free
Trance Scout Defensives (2) to Trance Silksteel Defensives - slot free
Police Synthemtal Sentinel (1) to Police Silksteel Sentinel - slot free
Gatling Squad (1) to AAA Gatling Squad - slot free

Prototype

After the above, I want these prototyped.

Clean Coppers
1-1-1 (Clean, Police)

Clean Photon Garrison
1-5t-1*2 (Clean Trance)

IF there are no ACS MWIA Cruisers by this time, then do the following:

Prototype
ACS MWIA II (or whatever name)
13-5-6*2 (Clean, Deep)

upgrade ACS MWIA type to ACS MWIA II

f there are ACS MIWA units built by the time the Nana Factory is up, do not do any of the above

Further unit type upgrades
Police Infantrys (11) to Clean Coppers - slot free

Individual Unit Upgrades

Metropolis: Upgrade 2 Missile Interceptors to Clean Fusion Needlejet (Shangri-La, Tacticus Academy)
UN AquaXenobanana: Missile Interceptor to Clean Fusion Needlejet (Metropolis)
Capricorn: 2 Missile Interceptor to Clean Fusion Needlejets (Capricorn, NA)
Pandemonium: Trance Plasma Sentinels to Clean Photon Garrison
Terminal Dogma: Police Infantry to Clean Coppers
UNSG: Missile Interceptor to Clean Fusion Needlejet (NA)
UNPD: Police Synthmetal Garrison to Clean Photon Garrison
Xanadu Police Plasma Sentinel to Clean Photon Garrison

Herc didn't ask anyone to take over, so technically it's up to the AT. However, I could give orders if needs be, considering I'm Major of Aurora and will be Governor of Akiria next term.

[Maniac]

Please do if you want. My enthusiasm for ATship has dropped the last few days as you may have noticed.

[Cedayon]

TKG was so kind as to do orders for Twin Sea:

..since nobody else is around to do it, i guess i might as well...

27,93: tidal harness
26,94: tidal harness
26,92: tidal harness

in general to the rush requests (assuming they're past 10 mins), but we've really only got so much cash right now so there is a limit to how much we can rush on the first turn.
