	Avatar Enlargement: We've got the solution

Back on a less expensive and way faster connection, I should be home in 8 days and catching up.

Things seem to progress quite well by the (quick) look of things.

	Put an end to popups!

2156

• We have a network node in EM, Rec Tanks in Googlieplex and a new transport foil in HG. New buildings:
  EM - Children Creeshe, for pop boom
  Goog - scout, we will need one or maybe even two...
  HG - Rec Tanks
  ...
  Any other ideas, suggestions?
  
  
• I will ask Gaians to inform us about hive coast bases, then will decide where to go with the foil probe.
  
• Gaians will be informed that we prefer not to enter vendetta with Yang, and not to probe the hive impact foil.
  
• We can gift the spore launcher then to Gaians as our help in their war effort - as I understood majority of comments and suggestions from the other thread?
  
• I will also wire the official reply to their counterintelligence proposal, as ForesterSOF's last draft.
  
• The new probe team task force will depart north - I will put there 2 with the most morale teams out of three.

Looking good.

Are we going to be adding any more new bases any time soon? Seems we still havea decent amount of land that we could be expanding onto.

Is an idea indeed. With the effic rating going up in the Creche-bases and the NN's getting finished we might be able to risk it (b-drones).

You know what might be wise in a while is to put a sea base right there NE of the energy bonus that would create a base bridge between our territory and the Hive.

Not only would it give us that Eastern port that I've read about us wanting, but it would give us an easy in into deeper Hive territory, or at least into an area that the Hive isn't expecting.

Likewise, if we're to probe the Hive silly, a base there, with a probe foil hitting the closest coastal base, would make it a great place for the probe teams to fall back to and get some R&R once the complete their missions.

Though we probably also need at least two defenders and a transport built there... it might be a little too heavy of a resource drain at the moment, but it might be worth the shot a little later.

There's even a sea nut tile SE of that location that could be foil crawled to help the base grow.

Another suggestion is to crawl the rocky area (once mined) just outside the base radius of the base on the ridge itself (can't read the name). I'm all about not letting rocky spaces go uncrawled.

amen on the rocky squares, but I propose to wait a bit founding seabases 'till we got the juicy southeast part of our continent settled. It's a shame letting those nut and min tiles go to waist.

No reply from Gaians yet, and we do not know base locations.

I have also impression that based on the last info from Illuminatus our probe foil might be in danger. I am not sure if turning it back around that island/peninsula where those two hive units are might be an option.

There is newly planned coastal base in south east - between two bonus tiles

I had tough decisions - Gaians did not respond with base location.
There was fungus and it seemed we might also get killed by hive impact foil. I scouted two tiles further and returned to the place of origin - we may attempt to sail around the peninsula and reach that base visible for long time. Looks like hive bases are not that accesible at all.

Although, if I estimate right, we may be able to get an action in the next turn from the transport foil - there is a chance.

Not a very lucky turn for our foil probe.

3 network nodes next turn and then we switch to better social engineering. We will improve significantly soon.

sounding good! Too bad on the probe and the lack of response though. Let us know if they finally do or don't. Perhaps nobody was on, as they seem to be having that problem recently.

• Completed 3 network nodes and new scout in Googlieplex. Scout can go to the new base location on eastern shore - soon colony pod will be completed there too.
  
• Then new social settings:
  
  10% psych. We need doctors in SH, Gplex, HG, VL. when economy 50 labs 40: +23 EC/turn and 38 labs/turn. When economy 40 labs 50: +19 EC/turn and 44 labs/turn. I would go for better research maybe, just we get 6 more labs and only 4EC less. But maybe EC are more needed.
  
  20% psych gives nothing, but 30% psych may be good -
  Kodycryptor can stay in golden age (it entered golden age now ) thus we get a new citizen next turn. also Gplex may have a worker - not doctor. SH, HG, VL still need doctors.
  for economy 30 labs 40: +16 EC/turn and 34 labs/turn.
  
  
• SH can be hurried with Network node, we do have enough energy 89EC now. Needed 88 to full, but we can make it less.
  
• New proposed buildings
  KC - children creshe
  KP - children creshe
  RPS - recycling tanks (3 turns ready)
  Gplex - network node or scout (i think one more might be good.
  
• Hive impact rover 4-1-2 on the border. Withdraw to the forest as indicated?
  
• Foil probe go to 33,47 base? I think so. or to 47,49?
  
• Transport with probes as shown? or go north? west?
  
• Formers mainly roads or move to make one. A farm near EM, road and forest south from VL - there may be a new base soon.
  
• Transfer spore launcher to Gaians this turn. We probably accept their offer.

I don't like to spend that amount of ecs hurrying a NN in SH this turn.

I like getting the 30% Pysch, to continue Golden Age and for the worker in GPlex. Econ at 30% and Labs at 40%.

Yes agree foil probe to 33, 47

Suggest transport head north or west.

I am oK with build proposals.

I suggest moving the crawler NW of Yangs' Synth Sentinel to the new forest patch NW of it's position. Just to avoid temptation from his side...
The citizens of Herc Station can harvest it's forest patch then.

Also, does it make sense to sent all our probes to the same location? Thought we were about to spread them out for infiltrating multiple factions? Or are we gonna probe Yang full time first? If so, I recommend building a stronger attack or defense unit just in case we're discovered and Yang declares war.

	24-01-2005 17:28									#82

Probing that problem-making hive synth is around 40EC. We can keep a probe team always nearby to make it in case Yang declares cold feelings for us.

Not necessarily. We can devote a crawler or 2 for energy for a problematic base till it builds a network node. We can deal with it. We have to grow anyway.

All sounds good, though I vote north on that transport, agree with Herc. Or are we wanting to probe Yang for all he's worth early?

Let it go north, at least one team (Spartans or Morgans) should be due north of us, and we might find Zak or Lal upthere more to the west as well.
I'm in favour of infiltrating first as many factions as possible before starting more 'obscure' probings.

• Transport foil went 2 tiles north, after finding fungus on its way turned west 1 tile. Probe foil on course to Society Grid - back around the peninsula - it is in fungus now. still one fungus to go. The most dangerous moment is next turn - if there is isle of the deep we may be fried.
  
• I was able to avoid doctor in SH by crawling there additional energy. Only VL and HG have doctors. 3 bases grow next turn - KP, KC, HS. no drones expected
  
• we have 17 EC/turn, 35 labs/turn.
  
• Spore launcher has been transfered to Gaians, rover withdrawn to forest near hive border, still prone to attack, but will defend not in open now.
