*Sight*

Obstructor, this is a midsave from the previous turn.
Try to name them by year, less chance you make mistakes.

[Illuminatus]

yet another midturn

Everything (almost) as per MAF

w00t! a presend!
So there it is, another presend. No time for turn reports, but: that chopper didn`t have time to kill all units before returning to GoG, but X-chopper that returned to it did
SC in Binary Bastion didn`t have orders so I sent him to crawl forest.

[GeoModder]

Pressend MY 2166.

Events this turn:
Lost 5 units (crawlers and a missile rotor). The rotor saved us from losing another crawler though.
Made some military moves. New Jerusalem and another base (forgot the name) are taken. Probes are dropped.
Hurried all production that could be finished with less then 50 ec's.
On (more or less) Impaler's suggestion started production of some interceptors (missile ones, Impaler. I do press on that weapon) and a Xchopper.
Redirected prodution in all occasions from plasma defenders to trance scouts. Started crawler production in other bases.
And/Or Gate is gone, probably destroyed when the GeoDropper inthere was attacked by the Drones.
Started to build mines and roads near Aurora and Apolyton Prime.

Weirdly enough I can't attach files in the private forum but I can in the main DG forum.

Anyone who wants to see the pressend, PM me and I sent it over.

[Impaler[WrG]]

Please send me a copy

Turn is about played. Sended a midsave and a turn save to both Impaler and Maniac. I can't post the turn later on due to a separation of me and my computer.

Asked to Impaler to post it in the main forum, and Maniac as backup just in case.

[Impaler[WrG]]

Posted the turn to the Drones.

Made a differnt End turn from the one Geo Sent, the one I posted included moving Choppers in Lair and Paradigm to Reboot, this should help us attack the Angel bases the following turn.

Also moved a few of the infantry units in Trantor so their in good positions to retake Pi or Defend us at later dates. Specificaly Ogree north 1 space, Plasma Garrison in Matrix to Zet, Garrison in Logic Loop to Ap.

[GeoModder]

Turn played. Upon request, a pressend save is available.

Killed two Drone units and one Hive unit. Lot's of production hurried (got an army again next turn, and some rec coms).
Formers on the position Impaler requested.
O yes, Logic Loop will be the next HQ from next turn on.
Renamed lot's of newly assimilated bases and a few old ones as by the names put in the 'Rename Base' thread, but that's only visible in the Drone turn.

[Impaler[WrG]]

Sewnd me one (and all future Presaves too). I will basicaly be submit sugjestions at this point.

Short turn report:

Zetaris actually survided attack!!
Drone attacking forces were not strong enough to eliminate sufficient units making a drop invasion of Zetaris not worthwhile.

2 drone choppers on retreat courses were intercepted and destroyed. Next turn is gonna be hard. 5 choppers in Arnelos ready to attack Zetaris, 5 defending units in Zetaris.

Also, obliterated 2 Angel bases. If 2 more are obliterated, Abort-Retry-Fail(ed), Paradigm and Mega Reboot are save from direct drop and chop attack.

[GeoModder]

Sorry, forgot to make an pressend save, but in short:

Took out a drone chopper -and fighter north of Zetaris, lost one fighter in return and a second one will be lost next turn I think.

Conquered Gargoyle Garden (Angel). I think the Hive player will be very surprised. If all goes as planned, they can't take it without destroying it.

Attacked DataAngel HQ (Hive base now), and eliminated one and nearly destroyed a second fighter. Hive fighter craft are disabled above Angel territory for now.

Conquered two Believer bases and took out the defense of a third base, next turn that one is taken as well (haven't done it now for low population and 2 happy facilities in the base).
The Believer's core army is now disabled, I think.

Nerve stapled all Believer bases, next turn the same must be done again with CyCon bases for the 'sanctions' expire then.

Hurried ALL possible aircraft production, started mostly crawler production in southern CyCon -and ex-believer bases.
Seabases continue or aircraft, or plasma garrison producition.

O yes, in engagements with Hive and Drones gassing was involved, I'm officially a war criminal now.

[GeoModder]

Bloody error post.

[GeoModder]

Ok, turn report.

Zetaris survided again, but running out of luck I think. A reaaal huge invasion and chopper force is waiting in Arnelos, and our defenses are about decimated intown.
Also, trick in Gargoyle didn't work. I thought the base would be destroyed upon conquest of the Hive, but no, must have grown in the nick of time. So I work towards obliterating perhaps Paradigm next turn if necessary.
One Believer base conquered, one destroyed. All money spent, 3 productions hurried with it. Changed back to FM, but I suspect some turn in the near future we'll have to switch again for the sanctions against us are lifted which means the nerve stapling is about to finish as well.

Hive/Drone drop pod (with defenses around) spotted on the NE of TRANTOR (near were And/Or Gate was). I tried to prepare a little surprise for next turn. Check it out if interested.

About all Angel bases are conquered now by the Hive, only one seabase remains and I think a Hive transport is on it's way there right now.

Turn report 2172.

Zetaris obliterated. I obliterated Mythical Matrix because Hive founded a base 3 tiles under Arneloski, on SOLARIS-continent, and is within drop range of that new base. lurking Xchopper to attack that new base was appearantly discovered and destroyed. I took out 1 drop rover and 2 choppers in the former Zetaris area without losses. All units returning to Logic Loop now.

Thermal, Paradigm, Atlantis, Mega Reboot and Abort/Retry/Fail(ed) endured successfull Hive chopper assaults. Defenses destroyed, no attackers to be seen. Problem with Drones. Being not used to nerve stapling I mis-estimated the duration of it and about all CYDONIA and seabases had drones now. Quelled those by running 50% Econ/Psych and doctors where necessary, changed back to Planned. 'Survival' convoy on it's way to safety. I'll try to gradually bring things to a safer location for the last base (crawlers, perhaps probe cruisers). I'm pretty sure now that CyCon will survive till end of sunspot. We may have a change to 'vote' thus.

Also, a bug popped up. Next turn menu stated that the turn is forwarded to Hive-2173. Don't know though if it is really a bug or that me working in the scenario editor on another project prior to completing the turn just messed things up a bit.

[Googlie]

Hmm - that has all the hallmarks of a faction being eliminated. (and if the CyCon were eliminated, it would jump immediately to the start of the next mission year with the first faction, who would be the Hive.

Might it be that when you obliterated Zetaris and MM that all the original CyCon bases are eliminated and now you are using PEACE and Believer bases? - that might confuse the game mechanics into thinking that it needed to trigger the "jump 1 forward" manoever

That's all I can think of that might have happened (or have you captured Miriam? - that shouldn't trigger it, but who knows?)


edit: It must be something you did that turn. When I open the turn and immediately hit "turn complete" (without moving anything or doing anything) the game flips forward normally to the Drones' turn
