Further moves:

• Disco volante popeed that pod, got a sonar, that revealed a gaian laser foil by the Ruins. Also revealed another nearby pod, so popped that, and got a fungal gin freighter at Minas Tirith
  
• Moved Disco Volante east skirting southern pole
  
• Tegea Harbour Crypteia successfully infiltrated the PK’s – but got returned to Iaci Base (see general covert ops thread for some interesting info re Air power)
  
• Sent the trannie and Invincible east to pick up the Crypteia and return it to TH
  
• Moved fort Liberty’s Crypteia to TH, for the more exposed coastal base protection
  Moved Iaci’s wormhunting hoplite into the river fungus tile to his east
  
• swung sporelauncher northwest thru the fungus and back, trying to scare up some mindworms
  
• Moved Heimdall to Invincible’s protection, and moived Iaci to cover the trannie heading for TH (and can head for that seapod below Iaci )

Correction - the Gin freighter is at Iaci base

(Phew!!! - In thought I'd lost it at MT - knew i hadn;t changed production there, and couldn't work out where it'd gone)

Heimdall can pick it up when it - or the Pegasus - picks up the Crypteia for reassignment

• Moved the commando hoplite in FB downriver southeast en route to the Santiago monolith.
  
• Moved the SC4 hoplite to FB.
  
• Moved the SC2 hoplite to SC4
  
• parked MT¡¦s 10% damaged B-4 over our forest mineral tile there for CAP
  
• Left the stalled trannie in the Stxy channel
  
• repositioned healed B-4 from FB to craterwest
  
• ran a sprtie over ocean fungus with RG¡¦s B-4 (but finished outside base ƒ¼ )

	Avatar Enlargement: We've got the solution

He's actually bolstered a couple - that rover by MT's forest/min tile was just 1 last turn - now it's 2

And we'll need to keep an eye on that trannie to see where it's headed - hopefully towards Morgan territory (We can either shadow it with our own trannie - 2 extra mp's help there - or look for it from the air)

Now that or neighbours have planes, we need to start having interceptors. Are any of our bases not popbooming, Maniac?

	04-05-2005 01:37									#38
	Support Apolyton, buy Alpha Centauri

we have a couple of F-6's - one at Craterwest and the other at Gagarin memorial, and we've been using the MM crawler-cash-in manoeuver to build them

We have 4 bases with completed crawlers in the bases that could be candidates for F-6's (Citadel, Olympus Academy - which has an Aerospace - Vlad and Rio Grande), and Fort Buster, with an Aerospace, commissions a crawler next turn.

So I'd suggest we just build one this turn at OA and another next turn at FB

But Morgan isn;t buyilding any noodles - just interceptors (his population riots if he goes offensive aircraft)

Amd the Hive just have 1 noodle built (in the Hive) and it is currently in manuWarrens, presumably to take on Morgan. he is building 3 more though, but they'll prolly knock their heads against Morgan Interceptors anyway

I see. In that case, there is no rush yet. A better use for those Crawlers would be to build some infrastructure.

Good to see you, Maniac. I was beginning to wonder if I should have some fun with the Spartan economy.

quote: Originally posted by DeathByTheSword btw is great collective a target to invade? it is kinda obvious but is a great place to get the hive and the sue for peace

Well, it does seal an important land choke point against the Hive. However, I would prefer that we clear all the land between us and Great Collective before actually taking that base. This would make our territory much easier to defend, and Yangs very vulnerable. Just taking Great Collective will "only "grant us a nice sea passage.

Yes, definately worth it.

It could start building it this turn already, while terraforming the other tile would take some turns for movement and removing fungus.

I thought Arcadia did not really need that? Am I missing something again?

One trannie and one offensive vessel need to be there anyway for the "just in case"... uh... case. So, while there, letting the offensive ship try to get some cash is a good idea.

All coastal bases are, but not all inland bases.

quote: How long will it take [to build the condenser]? If it is quick, then do so.

The more formers we build, the shorter it will take. But anyway, a condenser farm on (85.25) would provide seven nutrients, so providing enough nutrients to grow seven additional citizens (assuming they would all work 1-2-1 tiles). As good as a tree farm in other words.

quote: I thought Arcadia did not really need that? Am I missing something again?

We don't need condenser farms to grow to size seven, but we do need them to grow above size seven. As to control drones, we'll need to appoint some doctors, which don't produce their own food.

I think defending coastal and all get-there-in-one-turn-after-landing bases is enough Crypteia for now.

And I meant how long will it take to make the Formers. D'oh, the English language sucks sometimes.

• FB forest worker moved to 1-2-0 crater tile. No energy loss fortunately - the forest energy was lost to inefficiency anyway. Then the old RG crawler moved a tile SW to the now empty forest. To tone down RG mineral production, the new RG crawler rehomed to FB and harvests the mineral forest. We've got too many crawlers and too little terraformation around the crater, so I suggest we crawler-hurry a F-6 in FB next year.
  
• Messenan worker changed to doctor to prevent drone riots.
  
• RG B-4 and SC4 hoplite rehomed to SC3. SC3 is still producing one mineral, meaning it'll finish the CDF just in time for when it grows to size 4.
  
• Two Fort Soup hoplites rehomed to IH & FL, meaning FS now produces exactly 20 minerals.
  
• Missile artillery moving back to MT.
  
• Tomcat-VV and -SC2 are moving to the Eurotas Valley where they can start building condensor farms next year.
  
• Fungal gin freight moving down south to mine near Minas Tirith.
  
• GH crawler going south for the same reason. Crawls in some nuts en route.
  
• The Northern Fleet went IoD-hunting. SCC Vladimorei had succes and flamed one for 2O credits. Ship 30% damaged - will return to port next year.
  
• New SC2 crawler works the mine emptied by the fungal gin freight.
  
• New OA crawler used to hurry the children's creche at Santiago Citadel.
  
• New VV crawler works the newly planted forest between VV & OA. (Just for this turn of course - next turn the new OA citizen will have to work that forest)

No further comments these last hours, so I finished the turn.

• Wombat-IH moved to tile south of AU to construct a condenser.
  
• Shuffled the IH & FS probes to respectively FS & FL. Then next year the FL probe can go escort the new UoP colony pod, and the FS probe can proceed to FL.
  
• Fort Soup production set to a former and not a Crypteia. I realized btw, if we're gonna research Neural Grafting, I guess it's better to wait a couple turns until we can build bioenhancement centers and elite probes.
  
• Shuffled the AU crawlers a bit to bring one more in range of FS (in case we want to build a hab complex there in the near future).
  
• AU & SC2 both hurried for 8 credits.

Little addition: SC1 still had a mineral shortage of one after the switch to democratic. I fortunately noticed it before pressing "End turn". SC1 hoplite in OA rehomed to OA.

Good turn!!

Are we sure, though, that there aren't any Morgan 'gators lurking - after all, getting their hands on a cruiser hull would be worth braking truce during the peace conference - they must realize that with their rapidly growing interceptor corps they are becoming almost untouchable until we get fusion power

And, for 2170 - use the B-4 (or even the F-6) in Gagarin Memorial to flame that fungul tower 4 tiles south - maybe softening it first with an arty barrage from the Njord. It's an easy 60 credits in the kitty

Next year's orders for the 2 MT tomcats? Build a road over the mine, then continue a road to 2Nuts, de-fungussing 63:31 en route?

(I'll start a 2170 thread and copy these there)

Well, with smax, you'll often find that you pop a pod and get 4 to 6 mindworms and a couple of spore launchers. The latter 2 immmediately fire on each other

In Maniac's case, above, it was a sealurk that appeared and took on a spore launcher carried on an Isle of the Deep
