Good day to you.

[Chaunk]

Can we try and have only one topped thread please?

We can link from that thread to every other thread. I think more than one is unnecessary.

[AndiD]

Done. Comments?

[Chaunk]

Very nice

Thanks Andi!

Anybody who is able to achieve the same effect in the future would be called "pulling an AndiD".

Well it'd have to be the same effect. There's no way you could say AndiD's posts were spam for example...

I was reading the turn threads and had a small question thought I'd ask here for my own sake.

Seems to me that you are saying whenever you pop a pod you got 1 point toward accumulated research point, is that correct? Is this something unique for Morgan? Sorry for being ignorant.

[Chaunk]

Yep, every pod popped gives 1 research point. Can be extremely useful in the early game as we've proved two times already (three?). It's not a Morgan only thing, it's just an undocumented feature IIRC.

I also didn´t know that, but when the issue was raised here, I tried it in a singleplayer game, and it really works wonders. But then, I also didn´t know that bases adjacent to pods allow for secure pops, or that you can design armoured probe teams that act as "clean" defenders...

It really makes me a Noob again when I watch those veterans play the turns...

[#endgame]

Amen. That's why I'm here.

Sorry to turn this thread into snowflake learning SMAX thread. But I was wondering if I could ask why disbanding a scout will have different ec values for different units in the following post (2109 thread)?

Appreciated.

[AndiD]

I guess it's about using the 5 scout minerals to get faster to the magic first ten minerals after which a former costs only 25 credits (19 with 10% industry) to rush = becomes affordable.

[Snowflake]

Oh I get it. In your situation the scout minerals would apply to first line for CP and second line for formers so the difference is 4 to 1 rush versas 2 to 1 rush or something like that?
