quote: Originally posted by foolish_icarus As for the map: I was under the impression that this had been done last game, in making "turn simulators". Certain landmarks have distinctive shapes. Garland Crater, Sunny Mesa, Unity crash site are easy to see. For the rest of the map, examine the slope-shape of the grid lines and land forms will be shown. Recreate the elevations in a map editor, and voila. I'm just glad we weren't using a huge map

quote: turn simulator... In clarification: Any exploring, military trials or probe actions, is not allowed. Testing former orders and AI diplomacy (without accepting any deal) is allowed. For anything else, check with Drogue before hand.

Those are the rules. However, while I would like the use of turn simulators for exploration to desist, it seems you have just point and clicked, and as such, other than finding the base, it is not something you couldn't have done without a simulator. Therefore, no action will be taken for this, but as said, I would like the use of turn simulators for exploration to stop.

If you're not sure if something is allowed or not, please PM myself and ask.

Well, it wasn't a total loss.

* foolish_icarus graciously accepts the medal, which is probably just a bug for Enigma to use for his devious purposes, but such things can be gotten around...

OK. Then I take it the map is legit, and we may use it for what limited planning it will allow?

Or us. There could easily be a land bridge between us and the central continent or western continent.

Us?! Nah. No way Buster would land them next to a Human faction.
If they play momentum, they'll need tech submissives, i.e. Lal, and land, i.e. Hive.

I'll bet that if we ally with them, we'll get the tech submissives of Lal/Zak and the land of The Hive.

Yes It could have easily been done without a gturn simulator, so there's no ill gotten gains. I was just pointing out the rules, that turn simulators can't be used for exploration.

How does a turn simulator get used for exploration?
You can't build a turn simulator until you already know the squares.
