2158 End Turn and 2159 Duscussion

[Mead]

I downloaded and looked at the turn.

Still no nasty surprises.

It looks like the continued tech acquisitions from Uni are still a good plan.

I can see no Spartan unit. (other than the elite probe parked in Mendelez college).

[Mead]

Oh, yeah

There's a MW threatening Whohabitat.

Yang, Lal, and Zak still don't want to talk.

Our 'Gator Boat has found a Datatech city! Let's start wheeling and dealing!

I assume we don't want to try attacking their probe team for infiltration. Unless negotiations are unfruitful, of course.

Attach the screnshot, please.

By wheeling and dealing I need to know what we want.

I'm thinking we are ahead with tech and cash.

We want some tech perhaps, plus trade, plus intell on Sparta and the Gaians commlink.

I think the Gaian Comm link will be hardest to get.


Do we wish to dispatch two more gator boats down to th DA city to ensure we get infiltration?


I can enter into negotions with the DA. How much time do we have to make a deal.


Gods please grant us a delay if necessary.

Do the DA know we are there?

If so, I will make introductions. If not, then let's think about it.

PS

If I were the Spartans and if we (the Morgans) were to get a treaty or Pact with the DA, I would accelerate my plan to conquer Morgan based upon the DA contact.

We have about 17 hours to play the turn. I have to go to sleep now. By extreme luck, I have the day off tomorrow, so I can play at the last minute and provide at least some input during negotiations.

The screenshot was attached in my previous post. If you need a mid-turn save, here it is...

I haven't contacted the Angels, and I kind of doubt they saw us on their previous turn.

So, do you want me to contact them?

I think we should to try to begin trades and commerce.

There is also a Spartan port just out of sight of the Hunter. I'd rather ally with the Angels and infiltrate the Spartans, if possible. The Spartans are much more dangerous right now.

Yes, please contact them.

Roger that.

I concur that the Spartans are more dangerous now.

I will contact the DA.

Ah, most excellent! Yet another market that opens for our goods!
The Angels, well, a bunch of coputer freaks; they will surely need fastfood, beverages and hardware...

/me rushes off to the marketing department to get some Angel-oriented advertising going.

Response from Geo

Welcome on Planet.

Greetings to the Morgans,

We've anticipated for a while contact with our Morgan neighbours, and are glad we have finally met.

As for the short timeframe you wish us to decide whether or not to conduct friendly relations and trades of sorts, I can at this stage only say that the Morgans may put a Treaty offer in the next diplomatic cache and by the time our administration is able to proces it our future relations will be discussed throughly in our Network, and with you of course.

Sincerely,
DataJack GeoModder

I will tell him we are placing the Treaty in the Diplo Box.

Please do so.


We can work on the tech and other trades later. We need to get the income now.

Zak has Synth Fossil Fuels. You can bet your bottom that the Spartans have it, too. (Zak is now on Intel Integ, completing in 21 years.) We'll have 2 probes with chances to steal it from him in a few turns.

We stole Supercon from Yang. Unfortunately, we didn't get Opt Comp, and we lost that Gator Boat. The other Gator Boat in the vicinity is threatened by an IOD. If it can survive until next turn somehow, we can steal Opt Comp, the tech we don't want to steal from Zak (he has other goodies ). There's a new Gator Boat coming out of RFR, but it won't get to Yang before our probes land near Mendelev.

I retreated the Gator Boat near the Angel/Datatech city "Heaven's Gate," so technically I don't think they know what kind of ship is lurking in their waters. Should this ship continue exploring their coastline, look for the Gaians, or head for Lal? Lal is now the tech leader, by the way. There's a chance he's researching DAP for the Spartans, or has already completed it.

I pre-accepted a treaty with the Angels. We can continue talking to them about more detailed transactions in the coming week.

End-turn save is attached for suggestions, especially build queues, since money's already been spent and units have already moved. If there are any changes, I'll do them a little before the deadline.

[AndiD]

No changes found and no complaints, provided that some of the finishing bases start making some crawlers next turn. ;-)

[jtsisyoda]

Ok, some more crawlers will be queued up next time.

We popped a materials pod. Silly me, I picked a Plasma Probe, rover chassis, aka Gator Buggy. This was before I thought to design a Plasma Rover Supply. Oh, well, we still prototype Plasma armor this way.

Yang is building literally nothing but Gatling units. That's 6 Gat rovers, 9 Gat infantry, 2 Gat arties, and a Gat ship.

Central view...

Note that the fungus has spread in the north, destroying our road and farm near Yoda Soda. We may have to build a few scouts and go knock that tower out.

[jtsisyoda]

Not much to see to the west...
