Battlefield Earth - Turn Reporting Thread

[Qantaga]

Sorry for the reload. My two year old doesn't want to stay in bed tonight and I made the mistake of trying to play the turn with her in my lap. She banged the keyboard and somehow froze the game. I had to "alt-ctrl-del" out and start over.

2123 to Flubber.

I also just noticed three nice pre-forested squares, so it looks like Archaic is right about it being Googlie's work. I guess he just felt bad after seeing how strong the AI was and threw us a bone.

[Flubber]

The weather paradigm is complete.

on to archaic

[Archaic]

Social Psych sent. Research started on SotHB. Will complete in 6 turns.

[Mongoose]

2123 sent to Q.

Ethical Calc wasn't an option when I redirected from Social Psych. I am researching Applied Phyics. Guess it won't hurt to have a weapon if the baddies show up.

Speak up if you want that in two turns, when I finish researching it.

[Qantaga]

2124 to Flubber.

I also chose AppPhysics. It was the only one along the D:AP path. Unfortunately, Flubber is right. Taking techs before discovering my first tech is delaying my discovery rate. I was scheduled to complete D:Mob this turn. I accepted it from Flubber, chose AppPhysics, and now, I won't get it for 6 turns.

I guess I need to get it from Mongoose in two turns, but that will push the next tech back further still. I guess that's better than both of us discovering AppPhys.

I want crawlers, too. If I take them, though, I may never discover a tech.

[Archaic]

Given that Ethic. Calc was an option when I got the Tech. Selection screen, I wouldn't be suprised if I am able to take that as my free tech.

Also, I just remembered this but don't know if you've all noticed this yet. The Usurpers have started production of the Merchant Exchange. Given the AI's knowledge (Or lack thereof) of using crawlers and artifacts to hurry production, I think we could easily steal this one out from under his nose. I must admit I wouldn't mind picking it up and trying to eventually build a SSC, but somehow I doubt my chances on being able to do that would be good given who I'm playing with.

So, what were all your thoughts on exchanging World Map info?

[Flubber]

2124 to archaic


During my 10 day absence, I have asked Northswordsman to act as a replacement for me. His email is swordman@tc3net.com . I will play any turns received up until midnight Tuesday night. After that send the turn on to Northswordsman.

I'm reluctant to do so until necessary....Call me paranoid.

[Archaic]

Paranoid. =P

Correct me if I'm wrong, but you're in North America, I'm in East Europe, Flubber's in Asia and Qantaga's in West Europe. You of all people have the least to lose from Map data being shared.

[Mongoose]

2124 sent to Q.

[Flubber]

and on again to archaic

Good turn-around today gang

[Mongoose]

Wasn't looking for this so soon!

Got Physics, which I sent to Q. Finally researching Ethical Calc.

Oh. BTW, 2125 to Q.

[Archaic]

Yours again Mongoose.

[Mongoose]

2126 sent to Q.

[NorthSwordsman]

2127 to Archaic.
