turn to humphrey

No coop victories, ok. with only 4 factions this is probably mandatory...

flubber, we will most likely be the 2 underdogs who will team up at some point... i have exactly 1 rainy rolling square and a 3 tiles river, which is enough for now. problem is, my island (which is really just a snaky winded strip of land) seems to be ending already... 3rd base might be hard. and no great luck with pods...

Quite possibly . .. While its nice to think you can turn around a position, the reality is that that can be very difficult , assuming all the other humans share an equal skill level.

However, I like a challenge so lets see what we can make of our positions. AS I said, I have had some good pod pops but then again, at this stage the only bad one is a fungal pop .. . I would even like an earthquake if it gets me more land

i really hoped for an earthquake in 2110's pod, because it would have connected me to land the relief of which i could see, but i only got a mindworm

Which in the early game should mean a handy 10 ec !!

I would have liked an earthquake as well !! UNless of course it would connect me to one of those evil AI

[Flubber]

Oh and I see I have been sent the turn but it will be another 5 hours before I can play it

hm. how? been a while since i played smac often, but won't the worm probably attack me? (slightly hurt and in the fungus, too...)
i admit i have kill quite a few other worms already though. this really helped

Sorry I was thinking as a HIver where you usually have numerous units and can usually have two units present for a pop

It takes more time to download, unzip, zip, upload the turn than it does to play the turn. Which is 'fun'. Sent.

Very true-- There are some early turns where NOTHING of interest happens. I find the real fun begins in the 2130s or so when you can realistically have diplomacy going and start making strategic decisions apart from the obvious early beelines

2111 to humphrey for another 10 seconds of fun

I've made a shortcut to my saves folder on the desktop now, that saves a bit of time at least.
