Turn Update

[Snowflake]

Thanks for the answers to my questions Comrade Kody! The only doubt I have left is if we should farm the nut bonus before we mine/road the min bonus since we probably want to build at least one colony pod before the city starts SP?

[Kody]

We're rushing a former in the new city.
That will be the former that farms the nut bonus.

Choose a name for the new city. It needs to be a really good one because the new city will be a very important city of the Hive. It might become our headquarters, depends though.

If you're talking about voltirograd. The nut bonus is on rocky. So we can't farm the nut bonus.

Arrgh, cursed rocks.

I vote we call it "Feckin' Cheeky Tower" in accordance with that cornerstone counterblast to the decadent Church, "Father Ted".

Are you with me yay or nay.

[Kody]

Yah she finally made it!!!

Name accepted and will be used next turn

Yes that is the answer I'm looking for! (I should have thought about it myself though. Too much spamming may not be good for one's intelligence.)

I suggested before the B6 site can be Marshal's CMC headquater and the other costal base HongHu KongHu, the south site "Kody's Glory", and the one beside the Hive "Vev Enlightment Center". Now this very important new city, I did suggest it to be named after Jamski "Jamski Clovek" meaning defending the cavemen. I thought it fit pretty well but now since it is this important I'm not sure about it now ... Especially when Jamski is nowhere to be found ... Hmmm...

Poll it! Poll it! Poll it!

My suggestion was to name bases after us. Anyway welcome aboard and visit "Hello" thread.

[Snowflake]

Comrade Ali!!! I just PMed you and sent you an invitation to the Hello thread.

[Snowflake]

And looks like we cross posted too.

[Vev]

It appears St. Voltaireburg is now know as Jamski Clovek, which is good because Voltairegrad and St. Voltaireburg is too similar. We can have a poll for the next city name.

[Snowflake]

When you visit the Hello thread, you can skipped the previous four and half pages. Those are not important.

[Vev]

THEY ARE TOO!!!

[Kody]

Can you remind me again next time it comes to name a base.

"Feckin' Cheeky Tower" for the B1 site.

Alright, I've finally caught up. NO MORE MINES! We need growth to build colony pods. I personally suggest farms with solar collectors and road on rolling&moist squares. It provides 2 nutrient, 1 mineral, and 2 energy (depending on where it is). At this point in the game it is a great balance, growth, production, and ec. If we build mines we won't be able to take advantage of them (we need nutreints), whereas these farms are great. I personally suggest building this terraforming set on all squares with rolling&moist or better rainfall patterns. If there are no rocks though, forest is a good idea. Rocky squares, if they are flat wait until we can build boreholes, but if they are on a hill build mines. As for right now, when I play the first thing I do is go around and terraform all the rolling&moist squares, then the hill rocky, then the forest, and then the boreholes, and by that time i can begin to replace the forest with echelon mirrors and condensors. You guys might want to consider that.

Um, Kody and I talked about unit moves. I think we decided that we are going to move the northern scout onto the rocky square rather than the one north east of it as the rocky is a better defensive position, and if the scout went west it is closer to it. The southern rover is going to explore the channel, and the scout by the colony pod is going move to the new base once it's built until that base can build it's own defensive unit. The rover is going to try and watch both the scout if it moves west, and the transport (though we think the transport is going to move around and explore and really doesn't pose a threat). But yea.
