The University has just set up a new base near a monolith (2-2-2), rendering our forces practically invincible.

Glorgnole posted:the last planetary council election was held in 2137 and the current year is 2157, which means that the 20-year timer on planetary governor elections expires imminently. i propose that we elect a new governor, for the following reasons: i will endorse the Gaians (forums poster Glorgnole) who are most amenable to trade, the Drones (forums poster Improbable Lobster) whom with i happily coinhabit this tiny island with and the Spartans (forums poster anthonypants) who provide us strength in these trying times. that said i am open to convincing with

WU-TANG FOREVER also managed to fix up my issues with drone riots by re-homing units between bases to balance out supply costs. also decided to disband a loose scout patrol, goonspeed men! oh and i just now noticed the Drones' new base on the east of the island there. as a big fan of D&B i heartily approve the name!

well you might be able to play as the Spartans in the next round which should take place IN TWO TO THREE YEARS!!! alternatively, cc Glorgnole, if there's enough interest maybe we could run a second game? someone else running it instead of yourself of course, you're already busting twelve nuts keeping us in check! idk just spitballing edit: also glorg did heaps on generating and testing a good world for us.

i have three laser foils out exploring the ocean, and at the start of this turn they were all poised to open unity pods. the one to the west found a sonar mapping pod, which is very boring compared to what happened to the other two. it's a very good idea to have at least three moves left when you open an ocean unity pod. moving into the pod's tile takes one of them, and the if something nasty is in the pod your guys get all flustered and use up a second move...  ...so you need the third move to try to capture the nasty thing before it eats you.  the third foil found a mapping pod, then randomly encountered and managed to capture a sealurk!  naturally i got caught up in the thrill of the moment and ignored my own advice so now that foil is about to be messily devoured.

here's the Gaian platform for planetary governor: - maximum transparency: if i can see it, you can all see it too. i'll take requests from the thread so if there's something in particular you're interested in file a FOIA request. - scientific cooperation: if i have it, you can have it too unless it's Doctrine: Air Power. i hope you'll find it within your heart to reciprocate  - in return i ask that you keep our planet clean and peaceful. - there will be adequate nutrients.

lady deirdre is planetary governor. today, We're All Gaian  some interesting initial findings: - if you give your units custom funy names, they do get carried along with the save file and they do display correctly for other players. use/abuse this as you will. - i't's unclear on how the believers pulled off a 300% faction rank increase in a single turn. i was hoping that the planetary infiltrator database would hold answers but i'm still confused. they're actually technologically competitive though, which is surprising considering they have a built-in research penalty. related? i need answers! ocean exploration continues. my foil actually survived being attacked by that isle of the deep, though it's a little dinged up now.  the commerce bonus from governorship is unexpectedly nuts (250% increase to net income  ). i'm not sure how it interacts with treaties, and i'm also unclear on the underlying calculations*, but the result is that with a little tweaking i can get +5 energy per base. this gets split between economy and labs so my scientists are just going ham and my research rate is significantly improved. i think it also helps that i'm a bit behind technologically so my tech cost is pretty low.Beats by Deirdre needs a rec commons -- i always forget to anticipate when drones will appear and i think i lose a turn's worth of productivity every time a base grows and causes a riot.  Integrity: Knob * it has something to do with pairing off my bases with other factions' bases if they're above a certain energy income threshold. it's very mystical and obscure, just like real economics!

regarding customisation, if you go Menu -> Network there's an option in there to customise your faction which i just discovered this turn so i am now officially Wu-Tang Hive. also i'm now making significantly more energy/turn through commerce, thanks m'lday :P oh and didn't believers complete weather paradigm?

  heads up for the hive and drones -- you may meet some mind worms very soon. sorry that my boats are so wimpy. (on the plus side, that ocean is all yours for the foreseeable future!) all's quiet on the home front. one interesting thing that i've learned: if you have PARADIGM ECONOMY through social engineering you can divert all your energy to research without any penalty.

weapons dont matter when it comes to psi units-morale trumps all building naval units at a base that has a naval yard/bioenhancement center would dramatically improve your chances against the isle of the deep

welp, that Isle of the Deep off the coast of Severe Punishment managed to destroy my first naval unit which sucks lol. the odds were 4:5 and i managed to damage it to 50% but it still blew me up. i did kill that Mindworm that came ashore though which is good i guess...

diplomacy!   this is mostly for the progress bar chart and graph, though some things that i did recently include: - built a recon rover - built a sensor array (to spy on the worms) - started building a mine - working on leveling a rocky square  hopefully i will discover a new tech next turn!

Something that really bothers me about your base placements is that you are totally wasting the extra minerals of the Garland Crater. I thnk only Ligma Falls is getting like 2 squares with +1 minerals. Whereas this guy is getting 9 squares (not sure if the base square counts, maybe) of +1 energy.

ate poo poo on live tv posted:Something that really bothers me about your base placements is that you are totally wasting the extra minerals of the Garland Crater. I thnk only Ligma Falls is getting like 2 squares with +1 minerals. picture yourself as a weary colonist on a hardscrabble-rear end planet. the last group of folks you sent out in a colony convoy had their brains eaten by the locals. the most current survey data shows that your little peninsula looks like this: Glorgnole posted:... it's mostly a "haven't gotten around to it yet" thing. i'd need to clear out the crater to maximize usefulness (7/9ths of the area with the bonus is covered by fungus and worms!), which would be expensive both in terms of former actions to clear the fungus and in losses to (wimpy gaian pacifist) military units to get rid of the spore tower. also i prioritized establishing coastal bases to open up access to more unity pods and sea bases because it's very lame to be stuck on a little continent, and there isn't a way to place a coastal base that snags a currently-accessible portion of the crater's mineral bonus. Ligma Falls is sited to maximize access to energy, since rivers provide an energy bonus which stacks with base tile production and forests.
