Angels MY 2112 - 2120

[GeoModder]

It's working the other way around, interesting. Never tried (except by accident) to fully rush the last minerals. Any specific units that there is a 2:1 ration for the last 5 minerals?
For facilities it doesn't matter off course, the rush price is always on a 2:1 ratio.

[Drogue]

Facilities are also more expensive early on, IIRC. And IIRC, there's a premium for one without any mins.

[GeoModder]

Sure, the first 10 minerals. I know. But what do you mean by a 'premium'?

[Drogue]

IIRC, there's a quite large difference in rushing cost between 0 mins and 1 min. I'm not sure, it may just be the first 10 mins, but it always seems much more expensive when you've got no mins. Like double the cost or something?

[GeoModder]

Yes, that's correct. Hurrying before the first 10 minerals are in the pocket is rather insane...

[Mart]

maybe we should continue this in a special thread, like:
Strategy - production, rushing, etc.

Woot! Popped an AA from one of the pods near the Hive It'll take a while to get to Kodycryptor, but does have a clear route (might need to pop one of the pods in it's radius though.) KC is building formers, then a scout - using the 'lith those come out in 8, with 3 turns to spare before growth. also rushed 6ec worth of EM's former, making it complete in 2121.

One more turn Geo and all this will be yours!

[FlameFlash]

Umm... strongly against using the AA to pop any pods... I've had times where my AA suddenly just vanishes... how likely are AAs? I think an AA pod popper vanishing only happens when it would have discovered another AA.

[Hercules]

I think Maki meant popping the northen pod within Kodycryptor radius with a scout or something.

[FlameFlash]

Ah. Good.

Good, 'till coming weekend I don't have to do long shifts.

O yes, what's the best format to post the screenshots? I've used .JPG in another thread, but it became a bit 'grayed' in that format.

I'm starting to wonder if that Hive Synth is 'locked' in position by Buster... It hasn't moved in 2 turns now.

[Hercules]

It 's not obligatory to post screenshots, I could never do it.

I open SMAX, open Paint Shop Pro, then hit the print screen button, alt+tab to PSP and paste, do whatever editing (pic has to stay less than 800x800 for poly to take it as an attachment) and then exit PSP, than SMAX. Everything seems to come out just fine that mway

[GeoModder]

So you use .bmp files then to attach here?
