Naval Clash - Second Thread

[GeoModder]

First time I experience this: I have a working unit in a base which belongs to the Hive now (Barinthus' former Borehole Cluster base), but it does not have free view of the tiles around it.

Does anyone know what is possible now? A crash? Can I obliterate this base now? I prefer to leave the turn as it is until I have more information...

[Rubin]

Regarding the "stray unit" I noticed that Yand mind-controlled one of the two seized Angel bases (it was the northernmost base). Perhaps the covert operation triggered a special "feature" (read " bug") in the game.

I suggest the unit is obliterated or transfered to Yang (I would prefer to eliminate the unit in order to avoid any further "features"). That seems most in line with recent events.

[GeoModder]

So, in your experience, this is unheard of?

I might just decide to take the base out then.

Brave Atlantean commando's managed to escape from mindcontrol and were able to take out the device afterwards. Stuff like that...

[GeoModder]

'kay, turn played and forwarded!

Again, Atlantean forces report succes on all fronts. Unfortunately a punishment action against one of the most recent Hiverian conquests has resulted in the disbanding of a settlement.

Sankis, I 'freed' you of a native nuisance over there.
Hope this is sufficient payment for transgressing your airspace.

I have kept a turn in reserve regarding the 'stray' unit. Just in case there's a majority decision on this.

Sankis, you haven't responded on my request for free transfer over one of your bases. I will do it anyway and in case you didn't agree I'll make amends for the 'transgression'.

Oh, I may not have seen it sorry. Don't worry about it, I would have allowed it anyway.

[Rubin]

Geo, please send the correct turn...

[GeoModder]

Give me more information please, Rubin. What is wrong with the turn? Did I simply sent a wrong year (2196) or is the label correct but the save itself wrong?

[GeoModder]

Ok, I've sent all I could find from 2197.

I attach one here as well...

[Rubin]

2198 to the Pirates.

University headlines:

Reckless Rubin? Citizens at Rubin University out of control!
The sky is green? Deirdre obtains fusion airpower!
Lunatic Lal? Peacekeepers initiate the Neural Amplifier!

(Sorry Geo, for not informing you properly about the wrong turn; it was the Atlantean turn I received first time)

[GeoModder]

No problem. It should go better next week. I had nightshifts of 12 hours straight lately and tried to forward the turn(s) while being quite tired.

But I'm home now!

And are you serious with your headlines??!!
Darn, I just spended my crawlers on the Cyborg Factory.

[Sankis]

The turn has been passed to the Data Angels.

Hey Geo, I noticed some of your units have colored names. How exactly do you do that?
===========================================

Nautilus Officals announce the loss of several fighter pilots and marines, while the gaians have sustained light losses.
Meanwhile, on the Peacekeeper front a temporary ceasefire has been announced. Fighting is expected to stop in the upcoming months.

[GeoModder]

I learned this trick from Rubin. Use the [name] and {name} brackets. You got red and green names by that. Variations are possible, you could have the normal color mixed with the green or red for sure. Haven't tested for the red and green together yet.

Summarization of reports intercepted from Angels military communications.

Four needlejet squads from the University has been of a valuable asset to their military efforts. They were able to inflict great damage upon the Hivean invasion force but however in the thick of the action, one squad was completely destroyed. Angels are expecting to launch their first 'homegrown' needlejet squad soon.

A former detachment hidden in a xenofungal patch was discovered by a Hive missle squad. Those civilians defended themselves very well, bringing the attacker's strength down to 40% before being overwhelmed themselves.

A scout unit is reported missing. Suspecions are that it was destroyed by a wild mindworm mass.

A column of Hivan missile squads was found travelling down the road from Alphaville to the Spot. Angels have recently formed their first silksteel sentinel unit and is dispatching it to the Spot. Their military engineers hope that the new silksteel technology will help them to prevail against the upcoming assault.

Turn played and passed on!

2198 forwarded to Rubin.

2199 to the Pirate.

The University reports significant losses to gaian aerial assault on University mainland. Deirdre has declared war and Doctor Rubin is preparing for a full scale retaliation.

Also, the Peacekeepers have finally seized control of the precious Manifold Nexus.
