Covert Operations - General (2150 - 2174)

What is Yang building these days (2153) now that he has researched Superconductor?

[Googlie]

And what's the big picture in 2153?

[Googlie]

Council Votes?

[Googlie]

And what's Lal up to these days?

Of course we haven't (yet) infiltrated the Angels or the Gaians, so we don't know their scores, but here are the other five (note that our population is our own 33 plus the University's 10, for AC scoring purposes):

[Maniac]

We're the best!

[Maniac]

Hmm, I'm afraid everyone might be aware we're transporting a probe south.

[Googlie]

Given that, we should prolly use the probe to steal a tech (framing Morgan) and thus show that it's no threat to the Angels or Gaians)

[Googlie]

Hmm - see my other post - we'll likely lose the probe and not even get a tech.

I also see that the situation re contacts is as it was the year before - Morgan hasn't yet met the Angels nor the Gaians, nor have the A's or G's met Lal or Zak. Our tenuous hold on the levers of inter-faction communications remains intact for another turn.

WOW

Look at the Hive's Gaian Expeditionary Army (stacked on that unit we see that I've hilited yellow) - and there are 3 more units that don't fit on the horizontal scroll below!!!

After looking at this, I think it would be safe to assume, that the Gaians won't be able to threaten anyone for a while. If they survive, that is.

You see the AI:s throw these at you every once in a while, but they're actually not as bad as they seem. They tend to fragment as they travel towards you, or they stack 12 units right in front of your base. They don't properly coordinate attacks. An army this size could probably be wiped out with 3 impact rovers, or indeed 4 or 5 mind worms, especially if it needs to travel through fungus.

So I fear our Gaian friends will be ok. But let's drink to them for being so kind as to distract Yang this time

When the AI gets Air Power, then you can start to worry (for your formers if nothing else).

We have come to the same level if not slightly surpassed the Corporation as the second most powerful faction on Chiron.
