Quest for Glory turn tracking thread

[Darsnan]

This is the turn tracking thread for the SMAC game "Quest for Glory". Game setup rules can be found here .

Turnage is as follows:

Gaians - guillaume70
Hive - florin79c
University - Martti
Morganites - bDanv
Spartans - Bodissey
PKs - Marky


Notes: I've debated over the last few days as far as how to present this game. After much discussion with myself I've decided on the following:

1) Everyone gets 7 Unity Pods on their starting land masses.
2) Everyone gets 1 sensor at their starting location.
3) Everyone gets 1 Sea Monolith to start with.
4) Everyone is on their own from here!

First turn has been sent to guillaume70. Good Luck to All!

1) Everyone gets 7 Unity Pods on their starting land masses.

I think it was ment to be 2 not 7 cose that was the original plan, 2

[Martti]

2101 to BDanv

@darsnan: i have a few questions... does everyone's unity pods have same contents? and whats the deal with the sea monolith? also, approximately how much % of the planets surface is covered in fungus?

I think your mixing up Unity Pods with Colony Pods. Everyone has 2 colony pod units to start with, and everyone has 7 Unity Pods scattered around their starting landmasses.

The results from popping a Unity Pod are completely random. Note that if you pop a pod within a base radius, you typically don't get a fungal pop, NL, or earthquakes.

In regards to the sea monoliths: there are a few of these scattered around the map. If you park a naval unit onto it, you get the choice to upgrade it. Naval units can also be repaired on sea monoliths. If you park a transport on top of the sea monolith and then load in land-based military units, you get the option to upgrade the land units as well. In general my opinion is that the game lacks in aquatic enhancements, so I have added a few for this game. Note that there are several underwater volcanoes in this game as well.

As to the percentage of fungus: I started with a random map which I set up with average NL. Does this answer your question?

"That is satisfactory"

thanks!

[Darsnan]

Please note that guillaume70 just brought to my attention an issue with the game. I am going to have to re-generate the game and re-send the starting turn to guillaume70. When you do get your turn, please ensure that your starting techs and Factional social settings are correct.

[Darsnan]

OK, game re-generated and first turn sent to guillaume70.
Sorry - been a while since I did this.

[bdanv]

[guillaume70]

Darsnan,

Aren't there pods scattered all over the map?

Yes, there are Unity Pods scattered all over the map. The only reason I referenced the number of Unity Pods was to ensure people were aware that everyone got a balanced starting position, down to the number of pods each player started with on their initial land masses.

Turn 1 sent to Bdanv (again)
