Founded 'The Flowers Preach'. Current worker is on the 1-1-2 UF river tile, but could be on the 2-1-0 tile instead if we wish. Perhaps we need another solar there first?

Didn't rush anything (could have rushed any of 3 formers, but why?)

New-Continent Rover found mineral resources. It's companion Spore Launcher moved onto the river.

Old-World Rover popped the pod, finding 4 mindworms! After attempting to catch, unsuccessfully, the 2 worms closest to our bases, the rover team did capture the far worm! Yeah!

Our hurt mindworm is nicely blocking the closest alien mindworm. We are fairly safe from them. We attempted to capture this worm with our, but failed. We are continuing to heal.

Formers continue road+forest projects.

Earning 10ECs and 13 lab points per turn. IndEco in 2 turns (we are @ 53/70 labs and no amount of re-balancing could have achieved the 17 labs we would have needed to rush-research) Sliders remain at 50/50

Unity Foil explored n-e on route to returning home for ferry duty.

Our current production will yeild 11 supported units out of 12 free slots. One former will need to re-home in a few turns to keep free minerals

On main continent, attacked native mind worm with our new mind worm - won. Attacked another mind worm with the rover - won. Captures were attempted, but all failed.

Finished road to Dreams of Green. Started Forest west of base #6, moved another former into base #6 in preparation for making a road to the Uranium Flats

Hurried all 3 formers to completion in accordance with our long term strategy of getting a SP, and because of our influx of cash (30 ECs from worms this turn, and probably 10 more soon).

Moved spore launcher towards Virgin Soil, to be in a position to try to capture the remaining mind worm

Popped pod on new continent with rover - found a nutrient special and another pod (on fungus). Retraced steps with second move. Spore launcher popped its pod - found a mineral special. It continued moving down the river.

Moved unity foil east-east.

Put Probe Gimps (0-1-1s) in all 3 cities that just completed production, as part of our efforts to secure a SP.

Redistributed support slightly to eliminate costs, started a forest, and moved formers into position to make a road into the Uranium Flats.

Healed one mind worm in the north, and positioned the other to heal quickly. Positioned our unity rover in the north to heal more quickly. Moved the unity foil back towards our coast - we might be able to load the mind worm next turn.

Moved our northern spore launcher into the base, waiting for the native mind worm to close to striking distance.

Tried to move northern unity rover into adjacent fungus, found a worm instead, and captured it. Healed the mind worm that had been with the rover.

Sent foil to try to find a fungus-free route north, failed. The unexplored tiles to the west of the foil are probably land, from the shading of the sea. We will have to push through fungus to bring the foil north.

Popped pod on Angel continent with spore launcher, had it teleported north, made contact with the Angels in two places, with the spore launcher and the unity pod.

Sent eastern spore launcher to east, towards possible land bridge.

Found native mind worm in the north again, trying to hunt it down.

Moved our formers into empty squares for roading, continued to de-fungus the river to the Uranium Flats.

Rushed 3 probe teams and gimps

Brought Unity Foil Alongside Pier One. Moved 2 baby worms over there. One will pop a pod. One will board the foil. Moved our probe team over there north into fungus. Moved big worm onto river, and rover upriver and north, exploring. Those 2 are looking for the remaining escapee worm, while baby worm will pop pods behind them. We may want to wait another turn or two to pop all those pods, ie, wait until we have the big guns on the base side of the action to collect any escapee worms. We could see a big worm pop and should be a bit cautious.

Moved our Flats SL further into the flats to explore the possible landbridge in the SE.

Angel land: Moved our units close to the baby Fungal Tower. Did not communicate with Angels, but they did accept our treaty! Suggest we request them to request us to vacate, with a teleport, possibly after popping that tower....

SE: continued as before...after checking out the bug that Illuminatus had reported. If you play this upload, please check the SE settings. I believe I left it with Planned turned off (should be on), whilst checking the settings.

Moved western units east, near fungal tower.

Boarded unity foil with mind worm, sent it west since no one else wanted to go north through fungus.

Moved other northern units north; we are in a good position to pop a pod next turn. The rover found forest. This probably means we're on the edge of Yang, where either he popped a hydroponic pod or had forest seeded for him by the CMN. Found and killed the rogue mind worm from a while ago.

Moved eastern spore launcher down the river, without a paddle.

Made some roads and forest.

Moved probe gimps towards capital, started on more; hurried a probe gimp and a probe team for 19 ECs each. We have about 1/2 SP worth of minerals available right now.

Offloaded our mind worm from our foil to Yang's continent.

Scouted the potential land bridge on the east of our continent - no land bridge exists there.

Found the Hive, found out they hate us.

At the end of the turn (after this save), the Hive rover chased down our rover and killed it.

As per Illuminatus's suggestion and my earlier wish, positioned foil to break through sea fungus in the north. This will also provide valuable off-shore scouting for our probe teams, without which infiltration would be quite dangerous.

Infiltrated Yang, unfortunately losing the probe team. Yang has 50 (!) population and about 7 techs we don't have. Yang has contact with everyone but Lal. Check the attached turn for specific information.

Blew up Yang's probe team. At the end of the turn, a synthmetal garrison moved up to our worms. It will be destroyed next turn, of course.

Placed a few supply crawlers; rushed 2 colony pods at 21 ECs each.

Moved two colony pods towards the Uranium Flats. Rushed another colony pod.

Destroyed Hive garrison in the north, suffering 50% damage but gaining a morale level. Moved foil back to shore and loaded a probe team. Our targeted Hive city will build a probe team in 2 turns, but we can probe it next turn for a random tech. After that, we'll have to hope the probe team doesn't remain in the city. Of course, all our units nearby are not vulnerable to mind control.

More terraforming.

Tried to move northwestern mind worm into fungus, but spotted a Hive garrison. Destroyed it, but we may have to back off with that worm and heal in the forest south of its current position. There's a monolith nearby, but unfortunately using it would leave our worm adjacent to an occupied Hive base.

Made no diplomatic offers.

Moved a northern mind worm to fungus to heal; moved the healthy one onto the isthmus to Yang. Advanced a nearby spore launcher and probe team as well. If the Spartans are an imminent threat, perhaps most of these units should be recalled.

Yang's vulnerable city must have aborted its probe team build, as no probe team is visible in the city's supply list (or base defense), and it's improbable that someone else would have destroyed it. Yang has a ludicrous number of synthmetal sentinels, to the point that he's choking on the support.

Found a Spartan scout foil to our northwest, which has undoubtedly discovered the fringe of our territory.

Founded our 8th base, Skeletal Woods. 1 b-drone total, compensated for with a doctor. Next turn, we research Social Psych and can start to compensate for bureaucracy with rec commons.

Researched Social Psych. Started on EcoEng.

Found spots for all of our colony pods. 2 more bases next turn, and 2 more the turn after that, bringing us to twice our bureaucracy limit. As a result, most bases are already producing Rec Commons - they'll need them.

Advanced probe team to near Yang's city. We can probe again next turn, though our odds of success are impaired.

Pulled back our northwest mind worm in preparation for extraction - it's vulnerable, and isn't doing anything anymore. Pulled back our spore launcher to make better use of it on defense, or exploring a few nooks in our territory.

Total 10 bases now, and only 4 b-drones. That's pretty lucky, considering the expected number is more like 8. We should have one in every base after next turn, however, as we rise to double our bureaucracy limit.

Rushed two rec commons to cope with new drones, will have to rush some and make some doctors next turn.

Probe team failed to penetrate Yang's security interlocks.

Popped a pod next to a new base - found an energy bonus (on a rocky tile, so not very useful).
