[spoilers] Centauri alpha female

[Mist]

That's just a normal public diplo thread with a fancy name, isn't it? To be able to join the council in-game someone would have to tech Planetary Networks and build Planetary Council wonder ( you'd see that in the log and you did not mention this ).

In PF1 we just use it as a public banter/diplo place with no requirements to enter.

It's just a name for a public diplomacy thread, rather than being tied to the council at all. In PF1, contact is not required.

I think it's quite an interesting idea to have a public diplomacy thread tied to joining the Council though! The Council is a little meh, giving it an out of game diplo advantage would boost it a little while also sticking with the fluff.

That would be curious indeed.

Custom metagame resolutions could also be fun - ie. approving tech trades or inventing new rules (kind of like in Nomic).


Year 2165

A good year. I promoted 4 tanks with anti-artillery to improve their odds from 78% to 92%

All tanks won, the C5 Chopper (formerly known as the C5 Unity Rover) also won, at 99+%. Then a victory over a stray Drone Rover and:

A general He's already on his way to Fort Superiority to found the shrine.


EOT Domai had a fungal bloom. Poor dude.

EOT demos:

Not displayed: 18 GPP worth about 100 beakers in bulbs per turn. If I'm lucky enough to get a streak of Doctors (30-50% chance) I might have an army of Invitros in 20-odd turns.

Year 2166

Trained first Genite. The tanks heal up after the battle. Domai is probably busy fighting worms. Note to self: build a Hydro Plant in Fort Superiority.

Year 2166

Prometheus Institute founded in Fort Superiority. I hired another Doctor there.

Still, Sparta Command will get its GP first:

If it's a Great Doctor I'll bulb Cloning, the Scientist I'll keep until he can bulb Magtubes.


Unrelated: In a test game I accumulated 67+ generic GP points and it turns out that no GP is born until there is at least one specific GP point in the pool.

In this case a Great Doctor was born after hiring a Doctor and the GP that accumulated above 67 were carried over for the next Great Person.

Year 2168

Slowly but surely moving towards the Droneland.

Hall of Industry has got a bunker so there will be casualties. Before I attack the base I need to take care of the worms east of it. Or approach the base from NW so that the weakened attackers don't fall prey to the worms.

[Iskender]

Year 2169

Great Doctor #2.

[Iskender]

Year 2170

The GD bulbed most of Cloning - the remaining few beakers were researched EOT.

Drone front EOT:

Next to the selected stack I have a chopper, a genite and a tank. Domai flashed another stack (mouseovered) but it should be unable to hit my troops next turn if I park them on lowlands NW or N of Hall of Industry.

[Iskender]

Year 2171

Adopted Police State and Power. Dropped defense of Hall of Industry from 50% to 25%. Domai's colony pod appeared escorted by 2 tanks (top-left corner of the screenshot).

Year 2172

Both cities start building Cloning Vats (+1 doctor slot). Defense of HoI dropped to 0%. Killed Domai's Colony Pod before he founds a crappy city that I'd have to support.

EOT: A mind worm froze my former, I think I'll delete it, I've gotten an extra former from Domai's colony pod anyway.

It turns out that you can move troops straight from a ridge into a lowland base.

I the odds on attack from the mined highlands NE of the city are decent enough next turn I'll start killing off the defenders.
