Turns 2161- 2170

[Mart]

Good idea, Hercules. Go for it.

[GeoModder]

Turn is in, Mart.

[Mart]

Hercules is turnplayer, as I recall. I sent a screenie though to him...

[Hercules]

I opened the turn 2162.

First: we are 2 turns from Intel Integ: we missed 1 turn away by 1 lab.

Second: No luck at probing Hinderburg Habitat ( there was a defence probe there so didn't try). Our probe retreated back on board transport.
Third: We see Morgan probe at 18,20 but actual base is probe free. We infiltrate successfully. Our probe returns to Heavens Gate, a veteran. Unbelievable !!

Our other probe returns to our transport and transport moves towards the University. Only to encounter (empty) Morgan transport: us at 17,23 and them at 16,24.

Thankfully we can explain this as us being en route to probe Uni. They will see a probe on board, but hopefully will not realise we have infiltrated them.

Their spy must have been heading down to meet their transport. ( A big bit of luck for us).

More later.

[Hercules]

I had a look at Yang bases and can't see Spartan transport. So I guess it is en route to Gaian territory. Maybe we should advise them to get some defence probe over to their northern bases quickly, if they haven't already done so.

[Hercules]

Meanwhile our foil probe moves towards Gaians:currently located at 40, 58. Some 3/4 turns from Gaians base.

Having successfully infiltrated Morgans, I feel less worried about securing another faction. We now have three: Yang, Morgan and PKs.

So all three factions have SFF. So...
Am I right we get Synthetic Fossil Fuels in 2163???

[Hercules]

Meanwhile here's the mid turn save.

What did we want to do with builds, formers and settings.

And of course diplomacy.

Forgot to look at who Morgan has comms links with.

[Mart]

Hercules, using the midsave I will prepare some proposals for building queues.

I cannot load the turn. The same as it was with the 2161 you posted. Send it to:

Yes I went back to check that and I couldn't download it either. So turn sent to You and Geo atm by email.

And here:

Wow, ZZT would have a probe team next turn. They literaly opened a "probe window" for us. We gonna have hard time explaining the other probe team onboard there. It is hading... that ... damn wrong direction.....

[Hercules]

I was so excited I didn't check for SFF. If all three others have it (SFF) now, then we must wait until another infiltrated faction discovers it. Unless there is a turn delay and we get it next turn. Never was able to figure exactly what happens. Needless to say getting SFF would be very useful regarding Yang.

[Hercules]

OK I am going to bed.

Look forward to tomorrows discussions and test diplomacy with the AIs and real diplomacy with Gaians. morgans and Spartans. Plus the build orders. EM starts Command centre.

Well, taking a closer look into Morganic data - I expected them a bit in better shape. They have a lot of Data Attorney, or something like that - 9 of them, like 3 probe teams, some probe rovers. We gotthrough it anyway - pure luck.
