ACDG5: Turn Posting Thread

[vyeh]

This turn posting thread is part of the Alpha Centauri Democracy Game 5 ("ACDG5").

Please limit posts to game saves (along with a brief summary of changes from the last save and optional screen shots). Only turn players and governors playing their own bases should post in this thread.

Please post comments and questions on the game organization thread.

ACDG5 launches, Chiron, 2101

The game looks good to go.

• AI are challenging, so playing each turn as a multiplayer game with decent human players is recommended.
• During testing I got various results when interacting via diplomacy with AI, consider your options, small map makes momentum strategies preferable, but I wanted to even the chances for builder or hybrid. Combination of build, momentum and diplomacy was intended to give optimal results.

And regarding rules:

• Copters cannot attack bases. AI will do it, but our human controlled faction chooses not to do so. This has already been posted.
• New - I propose not to use stockpile bug. Inserting stockpile energy after a unit would be prohibited. However, leaving empty queue after facility/SP would be allowed.
• New - You have to either build SP Voice of Planet or conquer a base having it in order to win by Transcendence.
• We should also agree not to exploit other bugs usually prohibited in multiplayer games.
• Please, do not enable scenario editor in the game saves.
• Please, do not play alternative games from any of the saves and do not play beyond current turn (mission year).
• The turnplayer is asked to make an "end save" before hitting "end turn" button and making it available to other players and CMN.

Good luck!

Thanks Mart!

As we have clarified so far, Bodissey please plant our first three bases as follows, then make us a mid turn save.

First, take our western CP one square upriver and establish our HQ base. Then establish bases with the other two pods right where they sit. For lack of better names, please name the bases 'HQ', 'North', and 'East', with expectation that those may (probably will) change later. They should pop up initially building scouts, just leave that be for the moment. Also for the moment just let them work whatever square they choose.

Give us a report on anything strange that happens.

Thanks

[Bodissey]

Sorry for being late.

Everything went according to plan.

Summary

HQ former built road
North former built road
East former moved 1 sq. SW, discovering Nessus Canyon and Unity supply pod

[timsup2nothin]

Lt Bodissey,

Please order our scout units as follows: have the scout next to North move directly north and have the other two move into the bases.

Order the supply droids into East and North. Assign the supply droid in HQ to the base, then move it NW onto the monument.

Assign the workers at HQ to the outer monument to the NW. Check for me and report whether workers can harvest resources from the monoliths in the fungus squares.

Since you are in command at North you can take care of that. Lt Dacole can either give you instructions for the workers at East or take care of them himself and do a mid-turn save.

Once all the movement is done and the workers assigned make a final save prior to the 'end turn'.

[Bodissey]

Turn summary: (supplemental)

- The North scout uncovered a maritime pod due north-west.
- I assigned the supply droid to HQ before setting him on the NW monument and put it to work immediately on minerals. (I don't think it's a cheat but I can correct it otherwise).
- The other supply droids have been assigned to East and Big Rock Candy Mountains respectively.

Workers assignments:
HQ works on a monolith. So does Big Rock Candy Mountains. And East works the fresh sea mineral rich square, which gives back 2-2-0.
@Dacole: feel free to change this if you feel like it.

Changed East base production to colony pod for Gov. dacole since technical issues prevent him.

[timsup2nothin]

Lt Bodissey, please wrap the first turn. Select Centauri Ecology for tech to research. If any other factions make contact put them off but be polite.

[Bodissey]

Everything has been done.

No boogeymen sighted.

2102 Former Moves

HQ former moved to monument 1 sq. NE of HQ.
Big Rock Candy Mountain former moved to 1 sq. S of BRCM
East former built road

[timsup2nothin]

Lt Bodissey,

Please make these moves with the scout units.

There are two in the HQ base. The one that is 'independent' set to 'hold'. The other move NE onto the monument with the former. The one that is near BRCM should move into BRCM to be your garrison. The new one in BRCM should leave by the road and then try to go north into the rocks.

2102 East base move

Held garrison; moved supply droid 1 sq. W and harvested 1 nutrient.

2102 Scout patrol moves
The scout patrol from HQ has been 'disciplined' by the monolith.
The scout patrol north of BRCM found nothing but a small peninsula surrounded by the sea.
