That's a really small fungal tower BTW

-Jam

[Vev]

We'll have lots of fungus for dinner soon!

[Frankychan]

Sorry I wasn't able to participate....I'm at work right now...

I dont see any reason we cant attack that fungal tower, the sooner the better.

I'm not sure we're in a position to kill it immediately, even that small. And it will be worth more ECs when it grows larger. Of course it will be harder to kill as well, and may spawn a few worms. I'd like to see what's on the other side of it too. Perhaps it might serve a defensive purpose.

(fun fun fun, our first major policy decision! )

Comrade Static Universe, while I respect your decision, I must remain firm in the belief that the Fungal Tower must be destroyed. Here are my reasons.

1) It spawns that horrible red xenofungus which we currently can not harvest. Thus is lowers our industrial, scientific, and economic potential.

2) Though I would love to go worm hunting, at the moment, our forces are to small to make any sort of effective kill teams, and base defense is currently our first and most important priority. I would hate for our forces to be drawn out to attack the tower only to have a boil come and kill our citizens!

3) We may very well be on a small land area and we would need to be able to use as much land area as possible, which that fungal tower prevents.

4) Even if we do attack it later, it may take 2 or maybe even three units to remove it. And I do not see it as a good use of resources to remove a Fungal Tower so late in the game when our mlitary is in the balance.

5) Destroying it now will give us an earlie rmore noticable economic boost rather then having to wait for a boost later which may not even be noticable.

There are my reasons for the destruction of that fungal tower immediately.

[Vev]

More xenofungus is bad, plus they taste horrible

[Haon]

Now if only someone in the propoganda department can make a poster with a fungal tower, with writing in big bold letters saying "KNOW THE ENEMY!"

[Jamski]

Someone work out the chances of beating a green tower with a green scout patrol please?

-Jam

[Haon]

The scouts are Green? His "icon" does not look like the "green" icon.

[Googlie]

Preferences have been set to "confirm odds before attacking", so you can move the scout to the fungal tower square, and the odds wiill pop up (they're actually 16 to 7 at this stage in the game, I believe), with a "cancel/proceed"choice

If you cancel, the scout's full movement point is still available to go somewhere else. If you proceed, he attacks the tower

[Jamski]

The scout SHOULD be green, he's brand new.... or did e stand on a monolith some time?

-Jam

[Googlie]

As we had no + or - morale factions I made everyone disciplined at the start (after the first playtest) to counter the more frequent appearance of early mindworms

It makes no difference vis-a-vis the factions, but given the increased odds of popping worms or isles, makes the early game a bit more enjoyable
