Report as of 2120


Here's what we know about the Angels:

  • 2101: simultaneous founding of 2 bases (so population is 2)
  • 2102 - 2111 population stagnant at 2
  • 2112: population grows to 4
  • 2113-2114; pop remains at 4
  • 2115: population drops to 3, so we assume a colony pod built
  • 2116: pop grows to 4, so we assume a 3rd base founded (closelu spaced as per the first 2)
  • 2117: pop drops to 3, so assumption is another CP is commissioned)
  • 2118: no change (CP in transit)
  • 2119: pop grows to 4 again, so 4th base is founded
  • 2120: population grows to 5


2120 Summary: 4 bases with 5 population

2126 update to Report


2124:
  • We have purchased Applied Physics from the Hive. The Angels do not yet have this tech

2125:
  • Population: 6 (up from 5 - but no CP in transit, so natural base growth)

2126:
  • Population: 6 (same as previous year)
  • SE choices: running Frontier/Simple/Survival

Summary: 4 bases with 6 population
They have not yet met the University

Still running Frontier/Simple/Survival

Are still lacking:

  • Applied Physics

  • Doctrine Flexibility
  • University Comm Frequency
  • Peacekeepers' Comm Frequency


(Our estimate: 4 bases, 6 population, no Colony Pods in transit)

Copied from the Sparta-gaian Thread


Data Angels in 2140

We have the least amount of information on the Angels

They have the Hive and the Gaians commlinks, don't have ours or the PK's or the Uni, and we don't know if they have Morgan's

They don't have Applied Physics nor Nonlinear Math, so their best weapon is still the level 1 gun

Their best armor is Synthmetal, as they don't yet have Applied Physics, a building block to HEC's Plasma Armor - but they do have Industrial Base, a stepping stone to ind Auto, which they have (running Wealth)

The techs they have that we know for sure:

Level 1 techs
  • Ind Base (see above)
  • Infonets (they start with that)
  • Centauri Ecology (It doesn't show up for us as a tech we can trade them)


Level 2 techs
  • Planetary Networks (they start with that)
  • Industrial Economics (also a prereq for Ind Auto)

Level 3 techs
  • Industrial Automation


That's only 6 techs (compared to our 8 techs) and we're just slightly ahead in the powerbar charts, which might easily be explained by our 15 pops versus their 13

They are lacking Applied Physics and Doc Mobility from the level 1 techlist, so I'm guessing that they've researched Social Psych (rec commons are essential for the Angels to offset their -1 POLICE ) and Scerets of the Human Brain (to try for the HGP and alleviate their drone problems)

These latter 2 are surmises, though, lacking information on them as we are.

But right now I wouldn't be overly worried about the Data Angels

That's an artillery unit. It must have been in psi-combat, or it would have lost (I doubt it found an artillery buddy to duel with) And why would the Gaians attack an artillery unit?! No I think it's been in combat with the natives.

I guess the Angels are just scouting around. Perhaps they were rifted, but I doubt it.

I'll wager that the Angels won't be much of a military threat for some time to come.

They have already said that they are going on a Network Node building binge (for research boost and drone control via their VW)

That'll be followed by a chreche building binge for their pop-booming:

While anything, theoretically, is possible, I doubt it.

They got Doc Flex from us after we had probes in all our coastal bases, and I don't think a longstrider could have gotten through Yang to us. Plus, we have so many formers out and about, and hoplites "hopping" between bases to rehome that I don't think one would slip through us undetected.

If anyone has a chance at probing us it'd be Morgan - and if I were playing Morgan I'd do my damndest - even to the extent of sacrificing a couple of probe foils to do so.

Information is the key currency in PBEMs - without it, you are a pauper

Shouldn't someone (Kassi?) acknowledge the Angels' post in the Embassy?

This message to inform you that at present we are slightly behind on the Intellectual Integraty forwarding goal, but expect next year to make up for this.

We finally managed to fine-tune our economy, so this will give us the reserve needed to achieve our debt to you. You can count on receiving this technology pre-accepted in MY 2164.

Yeah I have some concerns regarding this as well ... If they were all buddy-buddy with the Gaians, why aren't they Pacted? It would make all the sense in the world for them to Pact, I'd love to learn the reasons why this hasn't happened.

This might explain why Gaia is pacted with Morgan all of a sudden, while the Angels are so nice to us. Are they going to take on each other, perhaps?

I still think we owe the Angels the courtesy of an acknowledgement of their Embassy message that they'll deliver Int Int in 2164

And if the concensus is that we don't bribe them with another tech to not trade Int Int to Morgan, how about :

quote:
Suggested response to the Angels

Thanks for the update as to when we can expect Intellectual Integrity.

May we inquire of you whether Morgan has asked about obtaining Int Int that same year from you (they precede us in turn order) and, if so, what your response was (or will be, if they have not yet asked but do ask in the next year?)

Regards

whomsoever of the Spartan Federation


At least then we'll know where we stand

(and is there any way we can encourage - covertly - a war between the Angels and the Gaians?)

May we inquire of you whether Morgan has asked about obtaining Int Int that same year from you (they precede us in turn order) and, if so, what your response was (or will be, if they have not yet asked but do ask in the next year?)

Also, might the Data Angels be interested in aquiring the commlink for the University of Planet ?(We are encouraging the good Provost to be more outgoing and to seek lucrative commercial relations with other factions) For a modest 40 energy credits we could supply that information (and you could recoup your investment - perhaps even make a modest profit - by onward transmission to your colleagues at the Gaian Union. Our diplomatic channels, alas, are somewhat blocked as regards the Federation Junta and the Union Lords)

Good idea about that commlink. Not asking anything, but still getting information from any response they will give.
