Angels MY 2151-2160

[GeoModder]

Back on a less expensive and way faster connection, I should be home in 8 days and catching up.

Things seem to progress quite well by the (quick) look of things.

2156

• We have a network node in EM, Rec Tanks in Googlieplex and a new transport foil in HG. New buildings:
  EM - Children Creeshe, for pop boom
  Goog - scout, we will need one or maybe even two...
  HG - Rec Tanks
  ...
  Any other ideas, suggestions?
  
• I will ask Gaians to inform us about hive coast bases, then will decide where to go with the foil probe.
• Gaians will be informed that we prefer not to enter vendetta with Yang, and not to probe the hive impact foil.
• We can gift the spore launcher then to Gaians as our help in their war effort - as I understood majority of comments and suggestions from the other thread?
• I will also wire the official reply to their counterintelligence proposal, as ForesterSOF's last draft.
• The new probe team task force will depart north - I will put there 2 with the most morale teams out of three.

Looking good.

Are we going to be adding any more new bases any time soon? Seems we still havea decent amount of land that we could be expanding onto.

[GeoModder]

Is an idea indeed. With the effic rating going up in the Creche-bases and the NN's getting finished we might be able to risk it (b-drones).

[FlameFlash]

You know what might be wise in a while is to put a sea base right there NE of the energy bonus that would create a base bridge between our territory and the Hive.

Not only would it give us that Eastern port that I've read about us wanting, but it would give us an easy in into deeper Hive territory, or at least into an area that the Hive isn't expecting.

Likewise, if we're to probe the Hive silly, a base there, with a probe foil hitting the closest coastal base, would make it a great place for the probe teams to fall back to and get some R&R once the complete their missions.

Though we probably also need at least two defenders and a transport built there... it might be a little too heavy of a resource drain at the moment, but it might be worth the shot a little later.

There's even a sea nut tile SE of that location that could be foil crawled to help the base grow.

Another suggestion is to crawl the rocky area (once mined) just outside the base radius of the base on the ridge itself (can't read the name). I'm all about not letting rocky spaces go uncrawled.

[GeoModder]

amen on the rocky squares, but I propose to wait a bit founding seabases 'till we got the juicy southeast part of our continent settled. It's a shame letting those nut and min tiles go to waist.

[FlameFlash]

Can't aruge there.

[Mart]

No reply from Gaians yet, and we do not know base locations.

I have also impression that based on the last info from Illuminatus our probe foil might be in danger. I am not sure if turning it back around that island/peninsula where those two hive units are might be an option.

There is newly planned coastal base in south east - between two bonus tiles

I had tough decisions - Gaians did not respond with base location.
There was fungus and it seemed we might also get killed by hive impact foil. I scouted two tiles further and returned to the place of origin - we may attempt to sail around the peninsula and reach that base visible for long time. Looks like hive bases are not that accesible at all.

Although, if I estimate right, we may be able to get an action in the next turn from the transport foil - there is a chance.

Not a very lucky turn for our foil probe.

3 network nodes next turn and then we switch to better social engineering. We will improve significantly soon.

[FlameFlash]

sounding good! Too bad on the probe and the lack of response though. Let us know if they finally do or don't. Perhaps nobody was on, as they seem to be having that problem recently.

[Kataphraktoi]

looks good.thats a crap load of hive units there....i dont like the comparison between there attack abilty and our defence,but nothing to do at the moment

[FlameFlash]

Say, is self-destructing next to an enemy unit allowed?

[Hercules]

Yes But I think You need at least fusion to do any real damage.

[Kataphraktoi]

i never had any luck with self destruct,even with singularity
