You're a punk Vel
My wrath upon thee shall be slow and painful.
Why you ask? Let me explain.
I was doing a little personal editing to Vel's guide earlier today. Now, I knew I should have been packing since I am moving tomorrow, but what the heck, had some ideas I just had to put down before I forgot.
Then I re-read your take on Morgan and turn advantage and blah blah blah. I realized I had never won the game by cornering the energy market. What the heck, lets fire up a game real quick as Morgan, get it started, and after I move I'll have something to occupy me!
Random map, large, avg rain/erosion/lifeforms. No pods, directed research, choose your first base.
Well my two colony pods and scout appear. I see a river flowing SW to my left. Rivers are always a good choice, so there we go. So I move my scout and reveal a little more terrain. And there it was. The holy grail of starting locations. *blink* *blink* Ok, its still there. A river with a energy bonus on it. *blink* Then I look closer and see this dark green under it. Right click for more info.
Elev: 1010m
Rolling and Rainy
River
Energy Bonus
Jungle
A little piece of heaven right there just waiting to be used and abused by Morgan industries. Four hours later the phone rings and brings me out of the SMACX trance.
Damn you Vel, damn you to Chiron.
Trav
ps I only wished I had saved as soon as I saw it, so everyone could play with that little piece of heaven.
pss My second base, right in the middle of the jungle has 3 mineral bonus squares. Its like the computer was just asking to get the beating of its life.
