According to the GooglieGod's direction, I'm setting up this new thread for the Hive's intelligent report. I'm currently trying to do the tech, vote, and ec report every turn. I hope somebody else would be able to do the base and military report.

By the way HongHu, that's good work.

If I had know about that trick with looking at other faction's techs earlier I would have delayed the CN build.



We could have reaped further turn advantage by delaying the loyalty build until someone else started researching the tech. It only takes 1 turn to build the CN.

The current CN build delayed our city rebuild significantly, which would definately have caused drone problems with University Base. As according to that unversity base size report Googlie posted, is size 3 and we know everyone builds their first base immediately. So University Base is Bdrone level 1.

But it's moot anyway, Kody, as you could only get that data upon pacting with PEACE, which you did this turn anyway

So you wouldn't have had access to it last turn when you did your CN rush planning.

In the absence of information, your course of action was the most prudent, so no need to flagellate yourself.

Actually the turn was replanned after we got our new turn. What really annoys me is I screwed up the hive rebuild by rehoming crawlers in preparation of the CN build. That what I get for only spending 3 hours replanning that last turn, and not looking at the builds more than 2 turns ahead.

Now it'll take two turns to move them back within range of our mineral mines.

Good report HongHu!

Thanks Marshal! I'm sure you'll find it satisfactory that the Office of the Military Intelligent is still doing its work.

Not a lot of changes. PEACE got GS, CC got Init (don't know what they are researching right now). Sorry I forgot to check ec reserve.

[Kody]

Rokossovky did you check the last turn for any new pirate base coordinates?

[dacole]

What would people want in the base and millitary report I'll see what if I can give updates on it not sure if I will be able to every day though.

[Kody]

Just see if you can find any new base coordinates. Or if the pirates are planning on probing or building up military.

Or you could post screenshots of the Base Production screen and the Military Nexus Screen for your Pirate pactmates - they could be updated each turn

[Kody]

That doesn't tell you what the units are doing though.
You need to check up for what the units are doing.

When you see units on sentry, it's usually because they're traveling in a transport. Also the goto shows the coordinates, and if they head into a base the coordinates of the base are shown.

Googlie, please don't tell any of the other factions about this little trick, because the hive needs every advantage it can get.

Rokossovky and Voltaire are taking over the turns now.
I tried a smooth transition, but everyone thinks they can learn on the job.

Yeah, right. It's a cakewalk now, with your about-to-get choppers and drop troops.

My only recourse is going to be to intercept a turn, set it up as an IP game with me as all 7 factions, and considerably edit the AI to give them some more mid-game teeth then restore it to PBEM status

(an old CMN trick for correcting those idiotic AI decisions in the middle of a game)

And my lips are sealed regarding the tactic - as they are with other factions' unique procedures. I only disseminate what is common knowledge.
