Angels MY 2121-2130

[GeoModder]

Ok people, here is the turn. For those who volunteered to have a word with Yang first, please go ahead and report back.

[Mart]

Yang did not want to talk.
Good thing, Industrial Automation can be chosen for the next tech. Should be completed in 8 turns.

[FlameFlash]

Great... well that's too bad. He just wasn't in the mood, I take it?

Have to try next turn, I guess.

[GeoModder]

Here's the pressend. I'll post a screenie and more indept turnreport this evening, after work, but all went as planned.

For those who want to try, perhaps Yang will want to speak to us after we done our moves (I've noticed weirder things in SMAX).

In any way, I'm thinking of trying to contact him myself (with my turn) before pressing 'end turn' if no-one objects.

9 hours to react, people!

[GeoModder]

Deleted, attachment problems...

Turn report MY 2122:

As said, all went as planned, except Yang's stubborness regarding contact.

• IndAuto is finished in 8 turns, at MY 2130 thus.
• All is set for the (hopefull) reception of minerals in Kodycryptor.
• The arrows indicate my thoughts about the units' movements for next turn, and the former orders. I'm not to sure about the KP former (the downmost former of the three) first a farm or solar collector on that tile? I suppose farm, but I'm not the only one around err...

[GeoModder]

Something to make us feel good...

[FlameFlash]

So who is the dark one next to the Hive?

That puts us in, what? Fourth? Over the Morgans, Spartans, and Gainans? So fourth overall but first among the players, eh? Not bad... not bad.

[GeoModder]

The dark one is the University. They have the most tech says the 'best in' screen... interesting to know, ain't it?
Gaians are doing pretty bad. I wonder if they're following an alternative path and going green ASAP.
I think we're number one in the teams simply because we had 2 starting techs and 2 founding bases in the first turn. Might be that our numerous monoliths have sth to do with it as well.

[FlameFlash]

All hail the monoliths!

[Hercules]

Sorry for late response. I think the E_N former should go to the Nut bonus tile at 21,63

I ask should the CP in KP be changed to a former.

I am looking at KP being the base for the first SP.

I agree, it is a good idea to prepare this base for it - it has 2 monoliths in its radius

[FlameFlash]

Sounds like a good plan. More in favor of the artifact going towards research than any SP though... especially with IA so close.

[GeoModder]

So I take it that 21.63 must be terraformed ASAP. How about this?
The KP former joins the EM former on the rocky monolith tile, they finish a road there and then all formers can move on to 21.63 (nut tile) and do their thing there? What will be terraformed there? Forest or Farm+Solar?

Sth else. ATM we've got 25 energy, with 5 coming in each turn. By turn 2125 we can change SE settings thus if we want. What should be our priority? Wealth or Free Market (Wealth only available in 8 turns off course)?

[FlameFlash]

why don't we look at it in 8 turns then, or do probe teams count against us if we went FM?
