AC Succession game in parallel

[Avenoct]

Ah good, glad you went after Zak! Looks we're all set. Who will be trouble...Yang probably now. he's probably figured out that he can practically long-jump over to our continent from our island. Cybergod, sorry 'bout your 'puter....I think it's affecting your Freudian Controls:

2204-Creams of Green builds Net Node

and, when you said this..I read it a little differently...what a laugh I did have.

Hive and Spartans have agreed to combine ofrces against us!

-Smack

[SITS]

Turn 2220 to Smack -

2211 - Environmental Economics - Researching Planetary Econ for AV. Changed Planetary Datalinks to Xenoempathy Dome as I feel it would much more use to us. Also trying sort out Eco-damage in some of the bases. Come on guys we're supposed to be Greens!
2212 - Got a Unity Foil and killed a couple of IOD's and two MW's.
2213 - Xenoempathy Dome rushrd built as city was starving after I reduced the minerial intake after an attack of fungus.
2216 - The submissive Zak just launched a surprise attack. His torture will please me. Kill a few units and Mind Control Zarya-Sunrise. Zak has caved in and offered me AMA, submission and a few credits. I take it but he won't be lasting long...
2217 - Get Plantary Econ. Sign global trade pact.
2218 - Start Ascetic Virtues
2220 - Loads of credits from pod popping. Building land bridge to continient to the east which will give us room for expansion. Don't know what people want to do about Zak, I'll leave that up to others. It's strange watching the two submissives fight each other around my bases! The game is pretty much sown up. The powergraph has flatlined. It shouldn't take us too long.

[Clear Skies]

Any chance of my getting a savegame? Just for my own amusement of course...
Don't forget to build some totally useless units (e.g. infantry transports) and transfer control to other factions - they'll start building them wholesale!

[Avenoct]

SMAC Fanatic, sure I'll send the turn your way. I havn't looked at the game yet, and I had a question: How do we want to win? Diplomacy, Trancendence? Well, I'll assume we are going for the fastest win, so I'll spend my 5 turns trying to crush someone. It appears that right about the time of IA we started going way up the power graph, which ticked everyone off. There's no turning back, just mopping up.

[Avenoct]

Well, I'm sticking with the 5 year rotation for this round, and it seemed plenty long enough what with a million worms and formers and colony pods to control.

2220: Ah, I see the landbridge being built. Thought about changing things, but really, it looks great. We’re set to pop boom. Decided to give Morgan a ton of techs as he’s studying Nonlinear, which we have. Notice that Miriam nearly has fossil fuels, and Yang already does. That puts airpower at around 2235-40 by my estimate. We will of course go steal fuels and airpower.
2221: going to switch to planned for booms. Basically filling in the infrastructure here and there and designating a few bases to make pods. These will fill in our continent, expand to the new one, and be given to Morgan and Zak. Yang and Miriam are actually doing well for themselves. I suppose, the long plan is to boom and then send in an elite force of psi units to take them out..Yang first, then Miriam. The boom will help our labs so that we have a few more choices, and will provide infinite size 3 bases with the PTS.
Captured IOD near yang
Morgy is about to get Pre-sentient, due to my large tech gifts.
With the Maritime, the Datalinks, the Virtues, and the H.S.A all coming up, I’m glad we’ll have a few more bases soon to work on them.
2222 I ask for and receive Pre-sentience from Morgan. I had a bit of a drone problem, but that’s cleared up. Am considering running 30/20/50 for some Golden Ages as well.
2223-5: Well, Yang went ahead and jumped over. I had already started sending our psi troops and a probe team in that direction, but they won't get there for another two turns. Yang got probed by me, and I was sure I was going to get fossil fuels...but I got the superconductor, which I didn't think he had. Oops. So we are studying a tech we could have stolen, but it happens. I made about 20 CPods and they are planned for the southern and eastern frontiers mostly, but I did stick a pod, worm, and crawler on our Western IOD. That can venture out to a nearby island. Lost two boats..one to Yang, one to an IOD, again, forgetting I'd dropped green for planned. Let's see..overall I started trying to rebalance the core cities, bringing up the mineral production of those unlucky coastal-rocky ones with crawlers from the supercities, like Lucky Autumn.
We're at a crossroads...do we continue to focus on infrastructure, on tech, or on putting a beat down on Yang and Miriam, who will be airborne militant religocommunist fanatics in about 10 years. We're certainly going to win, but it's going to be a bit more interesting than I had thought previously. Personally, I'd stay focused on infrastructure to build up the fanfare for a final war, giving the enemy a chance to test their new weapons. With the Pop booms, GA's, Pod booms, and PTS, our citizenry is growing almost logarithmically. Well, good luck TKG!

PS. Built the AV just in time to really make the most of the boom.

-Smack Out in 2225

[SITS]

Smack - I would say it is in us...

[Method]

the final 1/5 you mean? never thought of that but yeah either that or the polar caps. plus i think we should get everyone except one person submissive, then wait for MMI and win diplomatic. you get more points for it than conquest.

[Cybergod]

Smack, I am very soyrr about Creams of Green and ofrces! Oh well, I just hope that doesn't happen again - it's because I force myself to type fast.

I think that this game will finish pretty quickly so, once the new game has started, maybe 5 or even 6 of us could play it (although I think that 6 is too much).

I say compromise between both infra/tech and war with Yang (esp him, comie bastard :banned: ), and then Believers and Spartans (who have pretty good combat bonuses). I'd really like Cyborg Factory and HSA completed and in my grip!

PS. Still waiting for moi's turn...

[Avenoct]

Cybergod, email me your email again, I seem to have lost it?

-Smack, aka Alde-Baron

[Avenoct]

So, I sent the game...did you get it?

[Method]

sorry guys my fault. i've been kinda busy havn't had a chance to play it. i'll go do that now...

BTW smack where is the final 1/5?

[Avenoct]

Lake Baikal holds 1/5th the worlds freshwater. 1/5th!

[Method]

where is lake whatever you said anyways?

now for the update.
2226-GA in autumn grove, started the HSA and maritime control.

2227-GA in last rose of summer, founded velvetgrass point, silverbird park.

2228-GA in university base and creams of greed and stole synth fossil fuels from yang. founded razorbeak wood, vale of winds forest primeval and captured some hive base on our continent. research-fusion power.

2229-FUSION POWER!(with research carried over from fossil fuels) spent some $$$ on upgrades. research-organic superlube. found gaia's high garden

2230-nothing worth telling you about.

closing in on some other hive base on our turf with a fleet of worms. plus i have a fleet of probes for when/if you make land bridge to hiveland.

sorry about the delay

[Method]

dammit! i put creams of greed instead of dreams of green! i say we just change the name of that base for the hell of it.

and uh cybergod did you get the game save? i sent it on wednesday. or are you dead or something. or maybe you just didn't get it or you did and you already sent it to SITS and just didn't post the update. plus i thought i'd bring this thread back to the front page.

[SITS]

Just to add that I haven't received the turn....
