Operation Manipulate B drones.

[Kody]

With my recent work on B drones, and the usefulness of the PTS and base uprooting. We have the oppourtunity to shift B drones in other faction's bases.

In particular "The Hive", "Kommuniza City", "Jamski Clove", and "Vevtopia" will be abandoned and rebuilt. Due to the PTS it will give us a total of 8 extra population. Also it will give us the chance to place sensors under Kommuniza City, Jamski Clove, and The Hive. The captial will be moved to HongHu-KongHu.

This will confuse the other factions who don't know what's happening

LOL - it might even confuse your own faction - who do know what's happening!!

[Kody]

My own faction stopped trying to keep up with all the mircomanagement ages ago. I know I completely confused Micha when he looked at turn 2135 and saw that the HGP was 2 minerals short of building, and thinking I had stuffed up.


I was taking advantage of the PTS generating extra workers that would give us more minerals.

I am not even going to TRY to understand a tenth of what Kody does with the turn. I like SMAC, but I'd go batty doing half the stuff that Kody does.
I other words, Kudos to Kody .

We need a Comrade Kody Love Demonstration thread soon

[Kody]

Good Grief NO!!!!

Okay it's bad enough HongHu trying to pump up my ego, and it would be worse if everyone else joins in.

I have this school class photo back in grade 9 where I've got like a superior sneer all over my face. After looking at that photo a while I decided I was too full of myself.

You see I'm way more handsome when I don't have my ego all pumped up.

[Jamski]

PHOTO! PHOTO! PHOTO!

I can provide one of Kody, just don't ask me how.

[Googlie]

We have the Oscars and the Emmy's. Now we have .....

The Kodies

I'm awarding a "Kody" to the best strategist in each of the other factions, in honour of esteemed Comrade Kody, whose fame has spread throughout Chiron.

(Their forums are burning up with posts "how does he do it", etc etc. To which I reply:

"Aha - he is blessed with outstanding SMAC/X genes - he is the love child of Vel and big_canuck"

Riiiight

[Jamski]

Its nice to have the second opinion from Tass, isn't it

-Jam

[Snowflake]

Who's big_canuck Kody?

[Kody]

Heh I actually asked the same question myself so I went a looking. It appears to be a player that managed to beat Buster recently in a PBEM involving Buster, Googlie, Big_chaunk, Mark13, Tau Cetui, and Shadowlord.

Big_chaunk describes himself as "a painstaking careful player". http://apolyton.net/forums/showthrea...68#post1350768

Also I get the impression he mircomanages a fair amount.
