Turn Update

[Googlie]

I thought I saw an early reference to stockpile energy being permitted in the build queues in this game.

Was I mistaken?

[Frankychan]

Comrade Chairman Voltaire,

Thank you for posting the newest developments on our glorious faction. I will try to make it to the meetings more often.

GooglieGod-Sorry, this comrade does not know.

[Jamski]

Its permitted

[Voltaire]

The red circle indicates the proposed base site, this has not changed since the last turn, and the base construction will be carried through on the upcoming turn. The green lines indicate troop movements.

Get your suggestions in now if you cannot make it to the turnchat, even if you can get them in now so we all know what we’re doing. Given the fact that next turn we’ll be receiving the tech to build formers a terraforming plan should be started on that will be in place when our first formers are built.

-Chairman Voltaire

[Octavian X]

It looks good. About time we started looking into those oh-so-abundant Unity pods...

[Micha]

Don´t forget to use the free minerals of the third base to rush a former (25ec IIRC) and then let it build a scout patrol

Consider this a suggestion from the Commissar of Economic Development and Commissar of Infrastructure

And remember your "rush next turn" formula is:

ec's to complete - (base mins x 2)

So if your new base gets , say, 3 minerals, then the rush cost is 19 ec's (25 - 6). Plus "stockpile energy in the Q" nets a small ec refund as well

(of course nothing then gets carried forward to kickstart the scout but ec's are surely crucial this early, not quicker garrisoned bases)

No, we don't want to move that southern scout to the south, there is nothing down there! Send it to the north west to begin exploring the rest of the continent. As for the scout already in the north, keep it in the base until it builds another scout, then explore the unity pod. If the pod were to contain mind worms we'd be ****ed. Consider this a formal and vehement objection to the proposal, and as Minister of Peace and Marshal of the Armed Forces I respectfully ask that my orders be implemented by the Glorious Comrade Chairman.

I like the new base proposal. I agree that we should reconsider moving the eastern scout down. Other than the movement of the scout, I have no objections of the apparent plans.

[Static Universe]

Is everyone in complete agreement that our next tech should be Information Networks?

[Octavian X]

I agree.

[Jamski]

I agree, see my proposed research plan. If we can't get Infonets, i.e. the stupid game doesn't offer it to us, then Biogenetics perhaps?

[Jamski]

OK - Turn is up. My proposals. Build with the Southern Pod. Hold the scout in the base for the moment, use the free minerals to rush a former using Googlie's formula above, or rush at full cost, with a scout in the build queue, so the extra minerals mean a scout can be rushed the next turn too. Voltairograd should finish building a scout this turn, I suggest it starts on a former. Scout in the Northeast to go pod popping (closest pod) Research will be finished - see above, or the science thread. New base in the South - check the best squares are being worked, and name it.... either Jamskipolovitch, or something similar

I hope to make it to the chat as usual, but I may have to go to the mooovies and see X-Men 2

-Jam

[Haon]

Yeah. info net should be next.

[Jamski]

MAKING THINGS CLEAR :

I don't want a repeat of the last turns debacle. This is the official Hive Compass



That should stop any problems like "Move the pod Southwest" which took 20 minutes and 3 reloads to agree on.
