    Hey I finally found some companions to talk! Thank you comrades!

    Cloudbase Academy is supposed to be the most powerful thing in SMAX. It gives you aerospace complexes in every bases.

    Franky I'm already researching Int Integrity, sorry. But it'll be finished in 3 turns. The only thing I'm not sure about accepting Doc Init is not sure how much will it affect our research cost if it is not on our reseach beeline.

    The Uni campain is not expected to be a prolonged one since their defense is pretty elementary. We will perhaps be able to get clean units before we attack CCs though.

      ah, i see.

      My concern is that since the CyCon and Uni are all buddy-buddy (as stated in a previous post), they CC might give the Uni some extra units to bolster the defenses there......which will bog us down into a protracted fight. The CC might very well be sitting on an invasion force because of their newly "acquired" bases. I'm hoping that we don't get stuck in a quagmire with the Uni's while the CC sneaks up behind us.

      I think either the Drone's or ourselves should lead the attack on the Uni, and the other faction supplement....that way, the supplemental faction can defend the other just in case the CyCon get stupid, but also provide additional units for the Uni campaign.....basically a "I got you covered" tactic.

        Ooooop! Two more thoughts.

        1) If we can get the PEACE to join in the CyCon vendetta, that would help. Even if it's just a couple of units.....offer them a few conquered CyCon bases in return for their help.

        2) Can I get some screenshots please?

          Cloudbase almost equals victory.

          Cloudbase gives you a free Aerospace Center (AC) in every base. It also gives two extra movement squares to every aviation unit.

          It is awesome.

          Some would consider it to be the best SP out there.

          I consider it to be among the top 3 (WP, CV, and CB).

          From a defensive point of view you get a free AC in every base doubling the effect of defenses against air attack. The AC, of course, makes it move difficult for enemies to drop into your empire, because they cannot drop within two spaces.

          For building our military we will need to dedicate a few (2 or 3) high mineral bases to build our Air Force. In these we should build a bioenhancement center to get additional morale upgrades. It looks like we agreed to let the Drones make the Cyborg Factory.



          It looks like we have agreed to let the Drones to have first dibs on the other four SPs that we discussed, unless ot looks like another faction (CyCon) will get one of them first.

          I think that it is likely that the Drones will not be able to rush build all four before the CyCons so we should ensure we are prepared to get the ones the Drones can't, just in case.

            shoot, we should build some SP's as well instead of giving them the lion's share of the projects. I would prefer it if we had the Hunter-Seeker Algorithm sitting in one of our bases instead of another faction.

              Well we agreed to give them HSA and the other two or three in exchange for the CB. But I agree with Mead it would be hard for them to build all four before the CCs so we should be prepared to grab one ourselves at some point.

                Good advice. I'll do that.

                  Somebody else do a screenshot please. I did one but it is so bad and I almost didn't know how to get out of the game course I lost the mouse.

                        So Much to Do, So Much To Do, So Much To Do

                        It looks like we have a window of oppurtunity over the next few turns that will soon close.


                        Objective - Take and Hold University

                        Overall Method - Chop n' Drop to Take, Probes to Hold

                        Required Assets - Cloudbase (we got that), Missile Equipped Choppers (we need fossil fuels or a prototype), missile equipped pentrators, best armor drop speeders, drop probes.

                        Specific Method
                        Drop and attack from Freedman's Park into Longreach and then beyond.

                        It will take a couple of turns to build and deploy the droppers and aviation units.

                        By then, Longreach should be size two, so that if we take it we will get it as a size one base.

                        We need the Missle Choppers to empty the Uni bases.

                        We need the best armor drop speeders to occupy and hold the Uni bases.

                        We need the Probes to hold the Uni bases, as well as take advantage of any probe opportunities that we might find in Uni-land.

                        The Missile Penetrators will assist us with the assault, but more importantly will allow us to make an aerial blockade to protect our units during the invasion of Uni. Right now, CyCon and Uni do not have aviation units. Even once they get aviation units, I suspect it will take them a few turns to get around to making air superiority ones. The Missile Jets will also help us with recon and security of our position.

                        The Needlejets will also be able to escort the Peace in, if they can make it to us.


                        Now, if we only had 50 bases, each with 30 mins per turn, this should be easy. We can still do it, but it will require some work.

                        I hope the war comes no sooner than 3 turns from now (gives us time to get ready), and if we are ready, fight well, and are lucky, over within 12 years from now.

                        PS

                        How will Peace get a CP to us (will it be a sea pod or a regular on a transport?)?

                        Where will we let them put it?

                        How will we protect them once they get here?

                          Thanks Comrade Mead, very well thought out and clearly explained.

                          The plan is that we will be attacking univ coordinating with the Drones so it won't be our solely burdon to come up with everything. 3-4 turns sounds good to me for the start of the war.

                            Ok I've done the turn.



                            Didn't do very well for juggling the crawlers.

                            We didn't have the missle prototype yet so I'm prototyping a (2,1,10) chopper. Guess we have to wait till next turn to do the missle units. Other bases other than some bases without garrison I've set up it to build one, most of the others are building stuff like crawlers and rec tank, my idea is that it will be changed to the military units the next turn since you don't lose anything if it is within 10 min. I have not rushed many units, for I think we are going to need the cash for the following turns.

                            Could somebody look at the turn and make adjustment on base productions and then press end turn and send it to univ? Appreciated!

                              Very Very Important!

                              I have forgotten to give Drones MMI preaccepted. Please whoever is going to press end turn and post it, please give Drones MMI first.

                              Also I have not accepted Init from PEACE. We probably want to accept it and build a cruiser in a base closest to the.

                              Sorry!
