Excellent Shadow. Thanks for your effort.

Now if only we could find someone to CMN the first two.

[FlameFlash]

Many thanks shadow Will set up filters tonight and be up and running with the turn shortly thereafter.

[FlameFlash]

About to play the turn, but I did have a question: can't I also use psi equipped infantry, etc once the proper techs are discovered?

[smhfan86]

Sure, why not Flame. The Green Conquest will be the most difficult to govern.

However, I suggest that you should still use plenty of worms and alien lifeforms, when you get them. But there's no reason why you still can't build regular military units.

[knowhow2]

Another thing Googlie mentioned about green conquest, is that most of the planet most be covered with fungus. Which incidently makes your troops veru much native (or Pholus motagen???)

[smhfan86]

yeah, gaians and cult should use plenty of fungus.

although, what about forests? forests tend to replace fungus, but are good for the environment.

[FlameFlash]

No, fungus should be top priority in my book once proper tech is discovered to actually harvest from them well (or proper SP... which one was that?)... I was just curious about psi equipped units since they're basically the same thing as native life forms, just can equalize the playing field by giving them special abilities... and if I get xeno dome and pholus then they're equal to the actual native ones.

Forests probably early game, fungus later. Never really used fungal missiles all that much... I take it they're similar to the techtonic or do they spawn some native life (worms) at the same time?

Then of course, Green SE... :/ Just thinking and typing out loud... probably not good to share possible future strategies with the copetition oh well.

[smhfan86]

yes, forests early, but fungus for conquest.

still awaiting the turn Flame.

[smhfan86]

so are u gonna play that turn any time soon, Flame?

[FlameFlash]

Sorry about that, smhfan. I'd thought I'd sent it out... family stuff this weekend so I wasn't as active as usual, but I'll certainly check when I get home on what's going on.

I was sure I'd sent it out... especially if you're talking about the first turn.

[FlameFlash]

Just checked... turn sent around 4 PM on Aug 9... resending now.
