About to play the turn, but I did have a question: can't I also use psi equipped infantry, etc once the proper techs are discovered?

Sure, why not Flame. The Green Conquest will be the most difficult to govern.

However, I suggest that you should still use plenty of worms and alien lifeforms, when you get them. But there's no reason why you still can't build regular military units.

Another thing Googlie mentioned about green conquest, is that most of the planet most be covered with fungus. Which incidently makes your troops veru much native (or Pholus motagen???)

	Support Apolyton, buy Civilization: The Boardgame

yeah, gaians and cult should use plenty of fungus.

although, what about forests? forests tend to replace fungus, but are good for the environment.

	10-08-2002 18:23									#9
	Tired of ads?

No, fungus should be top priority in my book once proper tech is discovered to actually harvest from them well (or proper SP... which one was that?)... I was just curious about psi equipped units since they're basically the same thing as native life forms, just can equalize the playing field by giving them special abilities... and if I get xeno dome and pholus then they're equal to the actual native ones.

Forests probably early game, fungus later. Never really used fungal missiles all that much... I take it they're similar to the techtonic or do they spawn some native life (worms) at the same time?

Then of course, Green SE... :/ Just thinking and typing out loud... probably not good to share possible future strategies with the copetition oh well.

yes, forests early, but fungus for conquest.

still awaiting the turn Flame.

Sorry about that, smhfan. I'd thought I'd sent it out... family stuff this weekend so I wasn't as active as usual, but I'll certainly check when I get home on what's going on.

I was sure I'd sent it out... especially if you're talking about the first turn.

I was wondering about that too... also wondering about it in that game we're in with DD.

If you did it, we might as well all do it. I'd think that would be the most logical since if the two allies landed far away from each other until somebody builds the EG or calls an election you can't contact your own ally.

Just making sure, KH2, you are playing by these specific rules of 'Do not place Stockpile Energy in your build queues', right? If not, then we can start from the beginning again.

No stockpile huh? Haven't done it yet, but I'll keep that in mind.

turn sent.

And we're still on as far as contacting pactmate, correct? (not that it matters to Gaians and Cult since they start out with the same stuff anyway

	15-08-2002 09:11									#27
	Support Apolyton, buy Civilization 2

yup, no stockpile in the build queue, but it's okay in the main queue, i.e. the big box.

and yeah, contact your pactmate anytime.

however, if KH2 has mistakenly used stockpile, then we can start over since it's early.

	15-08-2002 09:42									#28
	Full PM-box? Change here!

*shrugs* What's wrong with stockpile anyway? Seems to me if all you can do is pump out units early on, and you've done enough of that, the only viable choice is to stockpile.

Or are you talking about that bug where you get some free energy and can then get the overdraft of minerals added to the next item put into your queue as well?
