Hive Game

The hive are proud of their ability to strike at, and empty of defenders, a Spartan base on the far side of the Spartan empire. The Hive hereby announces its intention to mount a major invasion of the Spartan homeland by 2235.


Gaians

Man the Hive is throwing scads of units at me. . . . Open turn, kill 5 Hive units, end turn repeat. Also sudden happiness across the entire gaian empire is increasing energy production and research.

University game

We are pleased to announce the completion of the Longevity vaccine. exploration and research are also continuing as the University continues its outward growth.

I thought that base was bigger last time I looked! And yet there are no blue planes? Kamikaze attack? Invisibility planes? We are officially confused.

Attack in 2235? Okay, we'll be here. Go right ahead.

Well we are not telling LOL

Yup 2235 but in the meantime our planes are going to harrass the heck out of you. I am really liking the Hive as a war machine.

The other games are much less successful for me. The Gaians are just facing oodles and oodles of Hive units while the University is still exploring. I think they might be in a position to mount at least some nuisance attacks on the Spartans soon but the distances are vast.

"Did they accept the information about the invasion that we leaked?"

"It appears so as they have gone to full scale military production. Our thinking is that they could not afford to ignore the threat"

"Will we invade then??"

"Perhaps. It is one scenario but there are several alternate attack plans.


Gaian game

The Gaians are pleased to announce that they have completed the Empath Guild and immediately called an election for governor. Final returns are still coming in but the exit polls are indicating a possible Gaian victory.


University game

man this world is BIG. The University is pleased to announce the completion of the cyborg factory. Combine this with a planned move away from the Wealth SE choice and the university hopes to produce troops whose morale rivals that of even the Spartans

University Game. We continue to direct our energy towards expansion, one way or another.

Gaian Game. A civilian research vessel operating in International waters was approached by a crazed Gaian work crew shouting something about "Green Peas" and circling us and otherwise trying to interfere with our research. We sunk the looneys.

Gaian game

The Spartan research gunship felt such remorse at their orders to kill an unarmed work crew that they repudiated their Spartan membership and joined the gaian navy. It is anticipated that their ship will be modified to inprove its capabilities. The crew are already marvelling at their increased speed after some gaian engineering

We indeed have some planes shot down and it has been decided to gather the forces for a massive offensive very "soon".

The Spartans attempted a long range landing in the Gaian homeland. Both the unit and the transport were quickly dispatched by elements of the 14th Air Wing


University

forgot to count

yep that Fort Hope Simpson is a good base to have with those couple of SPs. I wondered why the Hive stopped dribbling units my way and now I know-- They have massive numbers of units in that direction. If the AI knew what to do with all those units, we would both be in trouble.

Hive game

Hive Central is pleased to report its most successful night of air raids yet. Bombing at Training Camp hit a convention of secret agents, killing at least 7 probe teams. A tactical blasted a spartan fighter from the sky but not before one of our bombers was shot down. Thankfully their chutes opened and the pilots were unhurt. Further bombing struck at Spartan infrastructure to reduce their capability to wage war.

--------------------

Gaian game

Reports from Planet Control indicate that a Spartan missle cruiser was sunk in the waters north of Gaia. A Spartan transport was also detected by air and naval elements but was out of range. War with both the believers and Hive continues. We are pleased to report that their air forces were caught inside a base and that 8 planes were destroyed

Gaian Game: A sneak attack by a Believing missile foil was valiantly handled by our gallant former crew, who sunk the enemy ship. A commando raid to avenge the sinking of our missile cruiser by the evil cbn is being planned.

I will play this evening as usual.

Its nice to see that in the Gaian game that the Believers do not like you either. They have a formidable empire and I would not want to fight them and you.

In the Uni game I knew that chopper was a goner. It was down to 10% health . Couldn't you have let it explore just a little more??

I am cbn posting under a new name from my new western location.


Hive game

2237
The spartans are destroyed by a combination of choppers and drop troops



Gaian game

2254

The Morganites were conquered in 2245 and we have also taken over about half of Miriams territory. There is no current attacks on the Spartans although they have made several attempts to sneak an invasion fleet into our home islands.


University game


An invasion of the peacekeepers in the went well as it netted the HSA and the MCC. In the east a much slower invasion of the Hive continues. While expansion is continuing we do not want to detract from the Hive's battles against the Spartans. (The hive lies directly between the Spartans and the University)


Overall some interesting games and the next 20 years should be crucial.

2255 turns have been sent to Flubber.

Gaian Game... A sudden volcano sprang up and connected my island to the Hive territory, so I guess I better expand into it, before the Hive gets anywhere near my core bases.

University Game. Getting attacked from all sides, by just about every faction. Working on developing some stronger weapons...Tech Rate 234 turns? ..Uh oh. .... Okay, stealing some better weapons. HSA? Uh oh. .. Okay, maybe I will just sharpen my spears and arrows.

2255 complete

Oh and "Flubber" is a reference to that mystical substance in the Disney movies. I want to be the player that bounces back harder than I fall.


and yup I hold the HSA in both games now so no tech stealing!!


Gaian game

Major attacks on the Spartans homeland!! I would feel very good about this game if I could just find the most recent Spartan invasion force. I feel they are very close and fear that my patrols have missed them somehow and I am in for an unpleasant suprise. The once mighty Believers have been reduced to a third-rate power and could be eradicated shortly. The strongest AI opponent is the University as they have a well developed and defended large island to themselves.


Uni game


The capture of the MCC and HSA was a major coup but I remain surounded by well defended Peacekeepers. Better weapons are on their way to try to clear them out. (Just prototyped a new weapon). I am now at war with the morganites as well but they seem too far away for the AI to do anything interesting. The believers are on their way out



I think I am at war with everyone in both games now LOL.
