Angels MY 2151-2160

Last one was in 2151, so there is a comparison now:

We only slightly improved production, due to cost of all new units - formers mainly.

Energy is much better, we are using 67 EC now compared to 47 EC then. Wasted energy decreased from 12 to 5 only, mainly to enacting Democracy and bringing up efficiency.

Labs boosted a lot, from 14 to 41 per turn. And no, it is not a mistake... digits "one" and "four" are NOT simply switched position

what does pacifism have to do with contacting us?

Morgans can't (or won't at least) sent units out of their territory if they inflict pacifism drones back home. And sending no units out means no contact with other factions.

But probes are pacifism free, so they can sent those out without a problem.

And still the same number of bases in that comparison...
Yeah, I know.

[Mart]

I play the turn very shortly. Any comments, advices? Proposals?

[Mart]

Quite interesting findings. Any additional comments to the situation on the attach screen? Relocate the guarding rover? Hive violated our borders for the second time. There is also an infantry 4-2-1. Is this an invasion force?

[Hercules]

We might need to save some ecs for mind control of the impact unit.

Won't the Zone of influence stop it moving further towards Heavan' Gate.

[Mart]

The rover can attempt to enter forest west and then fungus west - bypass the rover.

[Mart]

Ok. The turn posted.

• Our rover is left where it was. We still have time to do some rearrangement next turn.
• I hurried Network node in SH before your remark Hercules. So we have 42 EC now. I changed then soceng for 40% Economy, 30% labs. This gives us +25 EC/turn and 27 labs/turn. SH was problem here, so with network node we may be able to change the social to 20% or even 10% psych, having more for labs and economy. Many bases now are like 3 psych. It is the same as 2 psych, so next turn we may decrease that 30%.
• For probing Hive units - best way would be get his both 4-1-2 rover and 1-2-1 sentinel. We thus need an additional probe team nearby. I have designed the COP unit, and it is ready for production. Cost 16. Foot probe 0-1-1. Details in the Design Workshop. It is for base security, but we may perform actions within our territory with it with success. Getting that sentinel is a good thing to do. It's cost was around 40-45 EC. I wonder how much rover might be. Still though some time till it reaches HG base. I estimate 3 turns, unless hive attacks sooner.

COP details are here

[Mart]

Just a thought. Gaians for long time knew our RPS base location. They had recently a probe foil in the area, but i haven't seen it around. I guess they might have infiltrated the RPS base.

[ForesterSOF]

looks like they are still testing the water but moving a military unit or two to the point of entrance would help send a message back saying NO.

[Mart]

A military unit - a good defensive unit - in Heaven's Gate would be a great addition. The problem is we do not have anything more than a scouts at present. My preference would be building military only in bases with Command Center. The chances of success on that appear though for me quite slim considering that Hive might hit us pretty soon. Anyway, if we can do it, where then? Kodycryptor completes Children Creshe soon, and also Enigma Machine. EM might build either Recreation tanks or Command Center - then military units, which might be relocated in order not to drain minerals in EM too much.
What do you think about it?

[GeoModder]

Well, if you think so we simply infiltrate them back.

Since EM is the capital, b-drones are less likely to occur there I think, so that might be the best place to put a Command Center in. But isn't production time less in Kodycryptor?

OTOH, we could always save energy and go for mindprobing Yang's troops within our territory in 2-3 turns...

[Kataphraktoi]

lets see if i can word that better

we should use a combination of high attack units and probe teams to repel chairman yang at heavens gate,and a lot of COP units there might be good

drones from building cities are more likely to show up first at the captial Geo

[FlameFlash]

foot probes good

Gaians possibly getting us infiltrated bad

Must... hurt... Yang...

More later, operating on little sleep, it was a tough last week.

[GeoModder]

...And the turn is in. That was quickly...
