War Plan - diplomatic front

[Snowflake]

I can't stress how much I agree with Jamski. People time is of essense. Yes we can wait, but if we wait, we lose the advantage we now have, ie. being the only factions that have DAP and MMI. We need to use this advantage and destroy or at least delay their chance of getting even with us in tech.

I recommend people go to the Drones Embassy to see what they are planning.

Mead is right. Right now the CCs are busy with their new bases. If we don't act now, their reseach ability and production ability will increase exponentially and it will be too late for us to regret.

As for defense, we are the Hive. Our advantage is that we can build lots cheap units for defense purpose. If a base that is being attacked does not have good defense units, it can still last long by producing many cheap scouts. Plus, they are still far from us. As long as we watch the PEACE war closely we will have time to prepare.

The problem to me know is not how we should defend our own land. It is that we should start our own war in order to ensure that there will never be a war on our own land.

in this case we should begin making the air fleet immidiatly.

i do have some detailed production plans (at list for the comeing turn or two) , where would you like me to post it?

[Snowflake]

Why don't you open a new thread so that people can discuss there.

Agreed with comrade Jamski, thanks for reminding me to change the 'AI opponent' mentality. While I do think that we should try and hold off from attacking until we are ready....we should find out exactly how the Drones feel. Once we find that out, we should make a decision.

I would rather us take our air superiority advantage as far as it can take us before the CPU catches up....which won't be too far away. The sooner their sky is filled with Hiverian planes and choppers, the better in my opinion.

We can should, avoid this, if we act quickly and decisivly.

We may have missed our oppotunity already.

No, we have not. But we will if we wait too long.

War by 2160.

By last turn the university was researching with a rate of 4 years. The CC was researching DAP. I can see this turn they would transfer all the prerequisite to the univ and univ will research DAP and complete it in 4 years, ie. 2160.

Jeez. What is their estimated industrial power? If that is the case, then we should definitely pump out planes and such for the invasion. I'm sure our industrial power is vastly superior to their own so by the time they get DAP, we should have, what, a 3:1 ratio over them?

At the very least, they'll have to wait a couple of turns just to get their first plane out...unless they have enough creds to rush-build it........can someone prove or disprove me?

[Jamski]

They may crash a few crawlers to get the first planes built as prototypes all at once. Its a good trick. Then the other bases build shell noodles to upgrade to missiles or impact. We should do the same.

[Snowflake]

How many ecs do we need for an upgrade?

[Jamski]

Depends on what we upgrade to.

A 1-1-18 noodle as a basis?

Upgrade to a 4-1-18 or a 6-1-18?

High morale too?

?

[Snowflake]

Where did we get 1-1-18? (And you claim you have opened the game. )

I'd say 1-1-10 to 6-1-10. Not sure about morale. Would that be a factor?

[Jamski]

What am I thinking of?
Turbo Noodles exist only in my alpha.txt

Ok but you didn't answer my question about the cost of upgrade. See this is how you are. I wonder how many things fall into your "somethings are better left unsaid" territory.
