The Infotrader/Infiltrator Network - Diplomacy plug-in

[Mart]

They seem to know our needs

[GeoModder]

The only reason they're thinking of following the Doc:Flex beeline is appearantly because their preference is not available... whatever that may be...

O well, it's good for us of course atm.

[FlameFlash]

Sounds good, but when are we getting biogen from them?

[Mart]

It looks like they already got it (Biogen), but they might have problem with the next tech. In which case they choose Doc:Flex for the lack of some other tech unknown to us. Is that right? it is what appears to be from diplo talks?

[GeoModder]

FlameFlash: when our turns come we should find Biogen in the diplobox. They told me that their research is done.

Mart: you're right, they received it when they opened the turn and switched to Biogen, but they have a problem for the next beeline they wanted is not available (don't know which one that was, I suppose for going to Gene Splicing, but that's just a guess). They might start Doc:Mob now if a poll in their faction decides so.

[FlameFlash]

So we still have to wait out on their polling?

I suppose that's okay, find out where they're going next before we make a decision at least, since we don't have to make one just yet, right?

Where are we planning on going anyway tech wise after this?

((And good on the biogen... I guess we'll just have to wait.))

[GeoModder]

If we have the opportunity, I propose to go for AdapEcon after ProgPsych (for the PEG). IF they choose to research Doc:Mob, Illu said that it could take 8-10 turns. Time enough for us to (almost) finish another research. If we can count it out perfectly we might be able to receive Doc:Mob the turn we finish AdapEcon... is better for our research costs.

[FlameFlash]

Sounds very good.

by getting Doc: Flex and having IA we're going to be fairly close to Doc: Ini and Doc: Air.

Might that be one route to go so we can get a jump on the Hive and take them out?

[GeoModder]

One step at the time please!
Won't be when I'm around I guess, but the Hive is not to be tackled alone. I think our strength over them is trying to put them to war on another team... let's say the one being highest in the ranking.

Sth else: since that Hive Synth will be blocked in 3 years time, we might consider it our future 'upgrade' to synthmetal units.

[Hercules]

Ok Back and up to speed I think on the treaty deal.

[GeoModder]

The Gaian ambassador has received the Applied Physics info.
I'll check on Eventis later if there is a response.

[GeoModder]

The Gaians are at war with the Hive!!

Just readed this on Eventis, it seems Ouro failed to forward us this earlier on, since it would already be going on for a few turns.

[GeoModder]

Okay, did some checking with the diplomacy screen, these are the results:

The Gaians and Spartans have met for sure, neither of them can be offered the comlink for one another.
Illu let slip that they had 'other ways' to acquire Applied Physics, which must be the Spartans then since those have that tech as well. But this also means that the Gaians and Spartans can, but haven't yet, trade Doc:Mob.

Morgans don't have ApPhys nor ProgPsych, and haven't met the Gaians yet. I think it's save to assume that those are on the north of the Hive then.

I wonder, could we perhaps try to persuade the Gaians to trade the Spartan com freq and some energy for ApPhys?
Comments?

[GeoModder]

Also, there are five techs we have the Spartans haven't: the three Industrial ones, Biogen and ProgPsych. They are definitely on the conquer research path then. Infiltrating them should be our second priority (next to the Hive ).

[GeoModder]

Or perhaps even their map and this com freq for Applied Physics?
It's worth a try IMO.
