Good luck to both of you, and may the best one win !

*swallows nervously*
*offers hand for shaking*
*grits teeth*

Let battle commence!

Many, many thanks to 'Red for setting this up!

And with the speed of a mountain goat, we return the turn.

HQ founded - nice spot 'Red!
Some 'forming started.
Chose starting tech, 1st tech to research.
Couple of alright pops, nothing special.

Further niceties at base site, but otherwise, not much.
How did you get so high up in might?

Aredhran · May 9, 2001, 19:44

Tech & Pop are very important factors in the SMAC power rating

Chowlett · May 10, 2001, 08:29

Ah I see, you got that second base down early, while I'm still scouting about. Either that or you pod-boomed your first one.

Well, we shall see what happens, my little carrion-bird.

BIG Carrion-bird, please.

Rember that a vulture eats only carrion and you are not a carrion...
But I can provide... Ahahahahhhhh... (Nasty laugh)
It will be a pleasure eat your meat piece by piece ... Ahahahahhhhh... (An other nasty laugh)

-Vultur ... Ahahahahhhhh... (The last nasty laugh)

2105 to Chowlett

Already founded second base?
I don't, but I found a place near a river

to place it.

Discovered third and fourth tech (gratis tech from a pod!

)

Now ahead in all fields, except tech. That pod-pop has left you in the lead though!

You are more dangerous that I fought... Yes, I've pod-boomed my HQ but only with one CP (I'm not stupid...)
Founded second base, found the place for the third and the fourth one
Found Alien Artifact

.

PS
Now I lead in territory, in tech and overall...

Hah! 4 bases down, just popped a tech! That puts me ahead in all fields. Curiously, while the might graph shows me above you, you are still listed as being overall.

This early on though, not too easy to tell who's winning.

My complinents!
Clap,Clap,Clap...
How have you done?
Founded three base in the same turn?

-Vultur

PS
Thanks, you are pushing me to exploit all of my resources... my best compliments, few people can say the same thing.

PPS
Between three turns you'll know my development, and I hope you'll do the same thing.

onwards...

1 base went down first, then 2 more the turn after.

I take it you mean, after 10 turns we post some amount of detail about our factions? How much?

We can post details like techs, energy, SE setting, AC score...

I feel some of those could be revealing - most are only available normally after infiltration. I'd be willing to post score, maybe number of techs and total population, perhaps number of bases; but I feel a complete run-down would remove some element of surprise.

Chowlett

PS - sorry, popped another tech

Chowlett · May 14, 2001, 16:16

2110 to you. Sorry about the double send, and the save/load. My computer hung on save and exit, and I thought it had got far enough to have saved. Good thing I checked, really.

Chowlett · May 15, 2001, 06:19

Onwards again. I'm not posting details until you do, as you had the turn first. I do know you have Planetary Networks, though.

Why do you say that I have Planetary Networks?

Chowlett · May 15, 2001, 10:36

2110
Techs: 6
Population: 4
Bases: 4

As expected, evenly matched.

Turn to you - and you'd better have some nice landmarks, or this game is unfair...

I'm not telling how I know you have Plan Net, but you do. Don't worry, it's a totally legitimate method.

Chowlett · May 16, 2001, 07:37

Back again. 2 techs this turn.

Chowlett · May 17, 2001, 07:16

2114 to you.

Clever boy! I do indeed.

Chowlett · May 18, 2001, 18:08

And onwards again

Chowlett · May 20, 2001, 11:10

Onwards again. I just got what is possibly the best pod-pop EVER, in the history of my Smacing.

Chowlett · May 21, 2001, 08:45

2118 to Vultur. Save-load due to hang on exit.

Vultur · May 22, 2001, 04:11

What means the best pod-pop you ever had?

My pop is low because I have some CPs traveling to found a good location.
In MY2120 you'll have a bad surprise...I can't tell you more

-Vultur

Chowlett · May 22, 2001, 05:53

No, not my poulation, although that's pretty fine anyway. I mean I stepped on a unity pod and got a fantastic gift. I may tell you considerably later into the game.

Vultur · May 23, 2001, 06:15

Compliments for the discovery of the Secrects of Human Brain...

Clap,Clap.
I've discovered it but the game hasn't give me the gratis tech.

2120's Report

3 bases
5 pop
7 techs
