hey fromage,

i believe the rule is that retro-engineering is allowed except for the speeder chasis from a probe team, i.e. u need doc mobility, before u can build them.

Ahh, I thought that retro-engineering only meant getting speeder chasis from a probe team. What else you can do with retro-engineering then?

[knowhow2]

retro-engineering:

for example when you capture a enemy missile rover. you can from now on build missile rovers even though you don't have Synt Foss Fuels. But you can howvere use retro-engineering to build other units with missile weapons.

am i to understand you've built rovers without doc mobility? hmmm...?

turn to chaunk

you're allowed to build rovers without doc: mob if you probed one.

Me? No, never. I always get the doc mobility before the probe teams anyway

I have never used retro-engineering even in single player, so it really doesn't affect my gameplay.

2117 to Phobos.

I have a replacement lined up for this game (I think), so I'll send him over shortly. FYI.

[smhfan86]

Thanx Chaunk, I'm glad you mentioned that you were leaving ahead of time, instead of last minute, or not mentioning it at all like some people.

[Chaunk]

Np smh. The replacement is bburnsis@rogers.com . He has the password, and so all future turns should be sent to him.

Thanks for the game!

[smhfan86]

Thanx again C. Did u send him the rule set too? The only real differences from apoly rules are that u can use stockpiling in the queues anytime and u can retroengineer, except for the rover chassis.

I have been playing with Bburnsis for over a year now in other SMAC game. That was the game where I copied the rules in this game, so he propably is pretty familiar with the rules

[Phobos]

Turn sent.

Sorry for delay. Haven´t been home these last couple of days.

17 to fromage

[Fromage]

2117 to Sparta.

Phobos, nothing wrong with small delays when you aren't home, but if you are away over 48 hours, you could sent a quick message in this forum. Then everyone would know, is the turn missing somewhere or is it normal holiday trip.

[Phobos]

Roger! Roger!

2117 to Claw.
