    Yeah, Morgan's drop in power is weird. Could he have faced and lost to a mindworm assault?

      Hmm - unless the power graphs are compiled at the beginning of the year and are nor dynamic (ie what the Gaians see we see). Morgan would still just have 2 pops when 2116 started and maybe that caused the dip

      Or else, if dynamic, as Maniac says, perhaps they lost a scout patrol to a mindworm - that'd do it too

        Covert Operations report - 2117


        Hmm, It seems that my analysis of last year's position might be faulty:

        ............. (too soon for another pop addition at one of their first 2 bases) - 3 bases, 4 pops
        Angels are now size 3, which means that they did have a base with 2 pops last turn - and have produced a colony pod this turn in it.

        So my current analysis is that they have 3 bases and 2 colony pods in transit

        No change to the Gaians, nor to Morgan

          Weird, I have a different powergraph.

          Especially notice the dramatic power increase of the Hive.

            Maybe the Hive built a laser or sythmetal prototype?

              My guess is that it's pop. I'm surmising that Buster started them off in the Jungle to help offset their early inability to popboom

              (And maybe the difference in the graphs is explained by different screen resolutions?)

                It can't be screen resolution, Morgan's bar is shorter compared to the others in the graph where Hive's bar has soared. Something has definitely occured down there.
                Cake and grief counseling will be available at the conclusion of the test. Thank you for helping us help you help us all!

                  No - that can't be it. These are from the same Sparta-2117 turn. Both Maniac and I downloaded it, I open it to extract the info data, and thus produce the barchart. maniac opens it to play the turn, and that's his barchart.

                  The power values can't be different between us as we're looking at the same turn, same data.

                    Which graph do you get if you open the presend turn?

                      LOL - problem solved

                      The chart ostensibly for 2117 is actually 2113

                      I've tried to correct it, but the edit with a new attachment isn't taking

                      Apologies for the wasted time on everyone's part

                        As I can't seem to be able to get the above, erroneous, chart replaced by the correct one I've deleted it, so the above four or five posts will be unintelligble to future readers

                          Here's my 2117 first-opening-the-turn barchart (and it's the same as Maniac's)

                              And the irony is, I actually noticed that the "Mission Year 2117" was missing when I posted the pic (I'd cut and pasted the year from the whole screenshot) - I just assumed that 'cos it was black-on-black that it just wasn't showing

                                Covert Operations Report - 2118


                                (As the game gets deeper, without infiltration our "analysis" becomes more our "surmising")

                                Facts:
                                • Yang has taken the military lead from Zakharov
                                • Morgan is size 4 pop (as are we), Angels and Gaians at size 3 each
                                • None of the 3 has yet researched/popped/traded Doctrine Mobility (and thus not Doctrine Flexibility either)
                                • All have Centauri Ecology and Information Networks
                                • No-one has started a Special Project yet
                                • We have edged ahead of the Angels in the powerbar charts (our tech, or the Ogre)


                                Surmisings:
                                • Angels still just have 3 bases, but have 2 colony pods in transit
                                • Gaians just have 3 bases - no colony pods in transit that we can deduce from prior pop figures
                                • Morgan has 4 bases - likewise, no new CP's nor any in transit
