2199 to Tau, as the peaceful 1st century draws near a close.

Tau Ceti · September 29, 2001, 09:41

2199 to Googlie.

Although Planet's atmosphere has never been breathable, the current nerve gas concentration of 1% makes it even more hostile than usual.

2199 to Misotu

LOL. The Planetary Governor would like to appeal to all sides to live peacefully, side by side. This can probably best be achieved by an open and equal sharing of planet's resources and other goodies.

Especially tech

Not a good turn.

2000 (1) and 2179 (2) to Mis

Tau Ceti · October 4, 2001, 19:46

I will be away until Sunday evening and will not be able to play further turns until then.

What do you mean 'Not a good turn', big_c? Your invasion force is intact.

big_canuk · October 4, 2001, 22:44

NU2 2180 to Tau.

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

Ah, now that you found it, I gotta use it. No, the not good turn was to do with a couple of other setbacks, you will be able to notice some "units lost" in my command nexus. I was a bit greedy.

2200 to Big_C

NU1 2201 to Tau.

Tau Ceti · October 8, 2001, 15:12

2201 and 2180 to Googlie.

Bah. As if you would not have used it anyway.

Those rovers were pretty tough, too.

Is there a limit to the number of units that can be displayed in the unit support part of the city screen (lower right)? In NU1, Free Drone Central apparently harvests 199 energy, but I only counted 53 from the squares and the crawlers. Commerce adds another 7 or 8 (I think), but it is still quite far off. So either not all units are displayed or something is quite strange here...

big_canuk · October 9, 2001, 17:22

Tau:

That's how I'm so successful in all these games. It's the extra home base energy patch that I developed.

No really, you had it right. The units supported screen only shows the 1st and last page of the supported units. Any others are not visible on that screen. Really a PIA, when trying to keep track of an average of 30 or 40 crawlers for every base.

Misotu · October 12, 2001, 13:59

Yes, I've known for a long time that the units supported screen is totally useless. Travathian's Challenge was the one - somewhere around 1,000 crawlers to keep track of ...

2201 to Big_C, with apologies for the delay. Behind on my games - lots to do at the moment. Sorry.

NU2 2181 to Tau

NU1 2202 to Tau.

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

Sorry for the reload. I had played about 90% of the turn, and then alt-tabed from the game to help my wife with a floppy disk, which one of her students handed her for a project that was due. We loaded it and she marked it. Then she said, "and I have to press here to eject it." I said, "Yes." And she hit the on/off button. LOL. 1 hr of work down the drain.

Everything was more or less the same, but I'm sure the details were different. I had cashed 2 of 4 AAs in the original turn. The original turn I got Centari Genetics, which I didn't get this turn. (I was looking forward to making some elite LOC. Oh well.

NU2 2184 to Tau

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

Sorry for the reload. LOL. I had just started the turn, and volunteered to pick up my son from volleyball tryouts (he made the 1st cut). When I got back, son #2 was playing his games. "You can't just quit an e-mail game", I said. "What game, there was no game", he said. "Don't lie", I said. He cowered and said, "Sorry..., but you can't just hog the computer". LOL.

There is a lot of psychology going on here, and I'm not sure all of it is good.

2204 to Googlie.

I would appreciate it if whoever gets the message about sea level rises could make an announcement to the others. It comes as a somewhat nasty shock to suddenly see "ENDANGERED" in big red letters when looking at some of your best cities. (Although the warning seems appropriate enough.

)

Yeah, I just noticed the sea level rise in NU1 too. must have just happenned. does anyone get a message in MP. I've never seen one in any of my games.
