"Sir! Preliminary reports have come in." Spoke Yang, advisor on national internal security, and spokesman for the New Five Year Plan.

"Yes, councilor?"

"Sir, our population increased last year by 24%. It appears our people respond well to the new decrease in disorder."

"Excellent, councilor. Your Plan appears to be off to a good start. If it continues to accomplish so much, we will have many more areas for you to address. Any other reports?"

"Sir, I have one" spoke up the quiet black man in the immaculate suit.

"Yes, councilor?"

"Sir, I have concerns about our economy. You know that I came here after my recent ... troubles ... because of the obvious strength of your understanding of all matters financial"

"All at this table know both your qualifications, and my own. Get on with it"

"Sir, this economy is a mess. It's Efficiency is horrible, and on such a large empire as our own, the crunch is high. Plus, we have many many bases. Just this year we turned down 10 requests for funding. Next year, I expect that number to be at least 15. Sir, we cannot maintain this 'Plan' for long"

"If I understand it, we will not need to. Fear not, Councilor. Within five years we will turn our Economy back on. After we have gained a decided population advantage."

"If no one has further input? No? Good. I declare this meeting dismissed. Get to work, people, we have an Empire to run!"

We have landed to powerful units to the north of the alien land mass to divert attention for the Hobbits.

[Keygen]

"The first successful operations against the squids is a fact. Congratulations to the Cyborgs and the Pirates!"

Enough waiting!
Ecological safeguards dismantled. Government overseers put in place! We will have growth, and we will have it NOW!

Our peoples eagerly await the results of our shift in goals.

[H0bbes]

Sank a squid foil & a wandering 3-res Garrison. Planning on taking out the northern base next, then the close one to the south.
Turned to BS.

[Reggy]

Again no significant military actions planned until supply bases can be built closer to the Alien land mass. We hope to have a full naval blocade in place soon.

Congrats to the Hobbits, but a word of caution. You are surround by 3 very close alien bases. I have shelled one of the bases to keep their units in, as they do not tend to send out damaged units to attack. I have also sent one of my planes to assist you in attacking any alien units that venture with in range. I have a sea colony heading for the alien's north coast to act as an air base.

We have destroyed the last "fungal tower" blighting our fair land, and the last unit from operation "Morganic Containment" shall be returning home within another two years.

On the economic front, experiments with tectonics have resulted in controlled earthquakes, granting one of our key cities more agricultural land and protection from the seas.

We are of the belief that our advantages over the Squids grow more numerous the longer we wait, and encourage our brothers to concentrate on ruling the waves, containing the alien menace for now while we prepare. No need to waste your forces in a direct attack, unless you see some clear-cut weakness. Congratulations are in order to the Hobbits, however. Good show!

Move sent on to the Provost.

Overtone Song has joined the Hobbit empire.

Turned.

[Reggy]

War preparation continue. Operation "Protective Shield" well underway. Thanks to those allies that have allowed our planes to use their landing strips. This helps us contain the aliens!

I agree Keygen, we all will need time to prepare. This will be a far more difficult war. In the meantime, I will use my navy to patrol around their continent to protect all our allies from possible invasion.

[Keygen]

"Progenitors are building military units in all of their bases, mostly rovers. Their annihilation will be a difficult effort and we will need the aid of all four human factions.

Prime Finction Hobbes, this is an invitation to join the war against the squids and gain some territorial profits.

The University will join the war as well but we need some time for preparations."

Renegades spotted in the interior. Nearby troops mobilized. Destruction of the mindworm infestastion expected shortly. The sooner we are rid of these damned fungus patches, the better.
