For Science! - Sareln & Nicolae as the Consciousness

Commentary:

He has 150 Credits banked right now w/ 0 GPT, so he's researching. We have one turn left in memetics, but are researching Superconductors/Planetary Networks right now to get probe teams. We'll finish Memetics and Mass Upgrade to Genites Impact troopers I think if we go that route.

Our boats have 4 move each and 2 transport capacity. Gun foil got sniped by a worm, so I'm thinking we'll have to rebuild that.

He can't see the aquaformer when it ends turn in our territory (which it does). It's also doing kelp farming to appear innocuous. Do siege tanks also defend at reduced strength when in fungus? It might be strongest to show an advance and then boat reenforcements onto the xenofungus.

Notice no Bunker.

Alpha prime does 1 unit / turn, everything else does 1 unit every 2 turns. Logos may sneak into 1 unit/turn range when a mine finishes next turn to give it +2 more hammers.

Yep, Siege tanks have -50% strength when attacking into fungus, and defending on fungus.

Yep, Siege tanks have -50% strength when attacking into fungus, and defending on fungus.

But not attacking from fungus. And they don't take collateral damage from other siege tanks. So if we have enough covering units to get the +50% from fungal defense, do you think boat onto fungus would work well?

[Nicolae Carpathia]

Yes, that sounds like a good idea pre-Marines.

After all, there are no roads in Planetfall, so a delay of 1 turn before attacking is fine. They can only reinforce so much, and rushbuy 1(?) unit.

If I'm reading what you intend to do, we want to drive a stack of tanks onto the fungus next to his capital, and unload a couple of genites next to onto that fungus to guard those tanks.

I'll open up the game and see the log. But honestly if he hit that base with more than 3 units, then he was violating the DMZ, not me.

Sounds like someone just got a license to kill!

Yeah, he boated the place. Well, now we just shove all the chits into the middle and keep building units so that Mardoc isn't tempted.

I'm not going to win this game, but I give us even odds of eating Maniac entirely.

[Sareln]

I have no idea if this is enough. But I guess we'll find out?

11 Siege Tanks
2 Choppers
8 Impact Troopers (one still on boat).

Impact Trooper -> Genite upgrade is 17 gold per.

Can't upgrade in boats, so landed. I think when I retake the city I can upgrade unmoved impact troopers as they'll be back in my borders.
