Turns 2161- 2170

You mean starting production of one there? Fine for me.

For Googlieplex I prefer a Childrens Creche myself, but for RPS it lays more difficult. If not a Com Center, a rec Commons is better.

But if we hurry a Com. Center there, we might cram in a police scout and avoid drone riots on top of having a second base capable of producing trained plasma defenders.

Ok What I 'll do is Start Creche at Googlieplex, start Command Centre at RPS, start Foil probe at Kodycopter.

Change settings to 30/30/40 and send it to you and Mart as end save zip with a unit active.

Then Mart can upload or make further adjustments if needed.

I need to sort out this uploading problem its a bit of a nuisance.

[GeoModder]

'kay. Got to work in 1,5 hours, so nothing new from me 'till tomorrow.

[Mart]

Yes, let us do Children Creshe in Gplex, and then just Command Center. Preferably hurrying everything here.
We should be ready for sneak attack.

Gaian-Morganic Pact is actually good for us in this respect, that Spartans may consider our neutral standing towards Morganities as positive for them. They may see us as possible human ally when Morganities cooperate that close with Gaians. Should we go for Pact with Gaians? I would say yes. Let us continue talks.

Although Morganities are higher in the graph, we will probably soon grow a bit. Spartans may consider attack on us as an option for levelling the powers on the planet. This is not good. Then let us build Command Center and put as many plasma units as possible within our economy. Then missile (6) attack forces. Just in case.

I cannot adjust details in the save, coz i get message of reload. Since i opened the original 2162 already.

EM is a bit less hurried then we could. I guess it was hurried by 27 EC, while what I had in mind was hurry up to 27 minerals accumulated. Sorry for not stating it more clearly. We will receive 6 minerals next turn. And 15 gives us 21. In order to get the 1-3-1 prototype in 2164 we will need to hurry minerals from 6 to 9 for quite high cost. Prototype is 24. I think though we can wait this one turn more. Anyway, the remaining Command Centers will need a bit more time. We can for example in 2164 make a police unit in RPS, when Command center will be there. Then plasma unit. According to my estimation, Gplex will have Command Center in 2165 if we start it right after Children Creshe. I think also SH might make Command Center too. Even more distant future.

[Mart]

Hey - there is still chance !!!!!!
It will require though increase of minerals in EM to 18.
Give me a second

[Mart]

Ok, the drawing shows two crawlers. Presently southern is from Gplx making 3 minerals. Northern is EM making 2.

The trick is move northern two tiles south and start crawling 3 mins for EM.
Southern goes 2 tiles to EM. Relocates there and goes where the other was. Starts to crawl 2 minerals for EM.
This takes 3 minerals from Gplex and gives them to EM.

Drawback. Ecodamage goes from 6 to 12. I checked.

I would go for it.

[Mart]

Wow, this time I did not get a relod message. Which is good, coz that reload is a bug in my oppinion (shows that Firaxis was in a hurry. I love this attitude in industry - speed over quality) . So I can probably post my end save....

Also, we have now 2 COPs in RPS. We leave them like that or relocate one?

[GeoModder]

Well, I was surprised hearing you having a reload warning first. I have the same download, and worked on the original turn before, and got no reload warning.

In any case, I can still do some last minute adjustments if necessary.

I say relocate one. Don't know what's more efficient tho. Sending it to SH and further on to cover our bases on the Gaian side, or bring it closer to the Hive Synth so Kodycryptor stays covered at all times (a probe might fail).

I guess the latter is safer for there's more chance that war with the Hive erupts then that Gaians have a probe sneaking nearby.

operating system then? WinXP home here.

[Hercules]

Yeah ok with adjustments. and seems more sensible to relocate that RPS cop to KC.

I have the same.

I guess the turn is finished then? I am off line from 8.30 PM (GMT-1) on for the rest of the night (damn those unexpected trainees invading my workspace ), so any last minute decisions for the Covert Ops Council better be thrown in the middle before that.

[Mart]

Ok, here is my end save. I will be leaving too in like 2 hours. So till then I can make morgans file. After that - I will be back after the deadline.

[Mart]

I moved a COP towards KC. Everything seems ok.

We may get like 3 or 4 new techs from our ability next turn.

Also for discussion. Since we have Ecol Eng. How about making some boreholes?

[GeoModder]

I'm on those holes, Mart!
