Who's Who - turn tracking thread

[johndmuller]

I think that just switching NetWarrior and I in the turn order will fix our respective CentEcol problems, but it would best be checked out.

I don't know whether that is the perfect turn order - perhaps there are possible inequities like whether there are people with exceptionally bad beelines to IndAuto, but I didn't try to analyze that for any of the positions and that is not as horrendous a problem, as there are usually other useful techs to get if you have to deviate from that beeline.

I would find it more interesting if there were resource specials here and there, but I don't have really strong feelings on that. If you are worried about the ones close to the bases being unbalancing, you could always put them in fungus - that would make them fairly expensive to develop in the early game - (I'll probably be sorry I suggested that ).

Now everyone get to your keyboards and think up your first tech choice so I can make sure everyone is satisfied!

[Net Warrior]

Cent Eco should be available to the Angels in any slot, I believe.

[Archaic]

Fairly obvious which I'd go for, so I guess there's no harm in saying. Cent. Eco for the bonus, Ind. Base for the 1st to be researched.

as for me i can live through the situation where my only first choice is... progenitor psych for example

[binTravkin]

The game will be going on tuesday eve/wednesday morning.
Couldn't complete it last week because of loads of RL stuff.

[binTravkin]

Not ready, yet apologies, but should be by eve.

Good news is I retweaked AIs abit (should be more competitive with less physical beefing) and made a new, bettter map.
Now Im just gonna find the correct place for everyone.

Status update:

The order is now:

Hive
Gaia
DA
Uni
Drones
Believers
PKs

Everyone but Gaians should get CE choice, others should get good choices like IN (for Gaia and some others) or IB (for freemarketeers).


Lemme just conduct a couple more tests..

[binTravkin]

Everything is reaady but for some stupid reason it won't give Archaic IB as the 2nd choice, although chart shows it should..

[binTravkin]

So there are 2 games now:

1.In which Uni get's CE->PN->IB... and all others get on fine.

2.In which Angels don't get CE, but Uni gets techchoices as Archaic wanted. Everyone else are fine.

The problem lies in slot numbers..

Angels must have number 1, 4, 7.
Uni must have number 1, 4, 7...

AIs are at numbers 5, 6, so I could probably move them, but it will take quite a time, so it would be delayed till next week.

I would advise Uni take the first variation and go.
Uni has a research speed of 3 turns per tech after settling 1 CP, thus you'd get to IE around 2107-2110 depending on how soon you get the CPs planted.

(everyone gets 4 CPs and ability to plant them on a river in the first 1-4 turns).

I will send the first variation to JohnDMuller in case you don't want to wait till next week.

[binTravkin]

Paswords all the same.

[binTravkin]

Also, you might find out that everyone of you have one reload for the first turn - It's my fault, wanted to check if AOK one more time.

2101 to Lord Hobbes of the Hobbits/Gaians

Have fun everyone.

BTW, I have a relative in serious straits in the hospital, so I will be giving that higher priority than gaming. That will probably affect other games I am in more than this one, due to the early stages here, but it may cause me to delay the turn sometimes if I am obliged to focus my attention elsewhere. Sorry for the inconvenience.

2101 to Netwarrior.

The turn order needs to be reposted.

[Net Warrior]
