As far as RP aversion to advanced terraforming, consider whose voice is on the WP (in favor of it, not chanting "We must dissent"), the SP that lets you build lots of terraforming, and advanced terraforming early.

[Net Warrior]

Yes, to me, as long as we aren't "in the red" with our base ecodamage rating we're ok role playing wise.

[smacksim]

Everyone will have a different opinion on this, as just demonstrated I think. Partly this is from the weird mixed-messages in the game:
"Terraforming is good, terraforming is bad, trees are good, no, fungus is good. MW's are our slaves, no, they are our masters...etc."
Irrespective of everyone's point of view, the ruins would be a boon to a slow-technology game, more than a fast one.

In any case, the Ruins are good. Monoliths are nice tiles for quite a while, and the Gaians have less trouble with drones than most factions, given high efficiency and a guaranteed ability to use police.

According to Enigma, Angels have broken the game rule, by 'accidentally' discovering coordinates of a base. We shall soon find out if they discovered one of human team bases, or base of an AI.

[Illuminatus]

First successful desinformation: due to joint work of Ouro and me, Enigma now believes we popped a Battle Ogre or such. Also, try not to disapprove this idea, and mention project Pegasus unrelated, but do not explain what it is

We had an earthquake NE of Fallow Times in 2104. We're still awaiting word from the CMN as to whether the other factions were notified of shifting rainfall patterns near our base----and thus perhaps are able to locate us!

[smacksim]

Goodness, I hope the CMN's don't notify us. That's leaking info. No no no. I highly doubt anyone could figure out a base location from that, especially since map-of-planet is off.

[Net Warrior]

I hope you're right but you have to allow for the possibility. Someone could look at their map on 2103 and compare it to 2104. If they've been notified, they could find us if they are very determined.

I tried to make an update of our continent as of 2108

It's kinda rough but it might be close.

Here's my latest effort at map making

if you don't see it right away, try refresh.

[smacksim]

Looks good, and is quite useful. I was hoping for more land, but I think you have it right. -S

Possible/probable base sites to bring us to the b-drone limit. Targeted sites are the ones I'm suggesting for bases 3 and 4.
#3 is an obvious choice given it has immediate access to a 2-1-0 and a 1-1-2. It's also on the route to the Uranium flats, which I'm sure will be high priority for base placement.

#4 has a possible view of the sea, which allows for probe foils or IoD hunters sooner, should we magically get doc-flex. It also allows 'back-forming' terraforming of the interior, extends our borders quite far, and provides a nice base of operations for further pod-popping exploring.

[Illuminatus]

Please, when you download turn from turn tracking thread, do it at least twice. It doesn't take long, it helps us, and confuses other factions who are think we are extremely active. Such assistance would be of great value.
