Soon and for the second time, we will recreate the Earth technology, building a CP. This one will come from ThisBaseIsBelongToUs. Where should it head for ?

Please post as for the base three location :
* multiple vote allowed
* post a precise tile

Northwest.

BTW-- are we absolutely sure that there's a volcano there in the north?

Lemmy · September 19, 2002, 06:38

uhm, what Volcano

The time has come to grow to the east, my friends. For too long the uncharted territories have loomed over our capital, shielding who knows what manner of threat. An eastern base will provide us with the security we are morally obliged to provide the heart of our civilization!

in other words: Right now, to paraphrase Seinfeld, there is nothing but a thin layer of gabardine between New Apolyton and the great unknown ... Lets get our capital off the front line.

I go with TKG

best location

Pandemoniak · September 19, 2002, 18:37

Hmm, ok. Not the volcano, lets call it a "moutain".

Why there, TKG?

I vote for just SW of that square. Still gets a monolith, and minimizes overlap.

Maniac · September 20, 2002, 08:26

The East seems to have become a lost cause, so therefore I would suggest building a base NE of TKG's preference, in other words SW of the NW monolith.

The East will come, the rover is on it's way there, it would be too dangerous to send out a CP on its own.

Maniac · September 20, 2002, 10:09

I thought you were gonna send that rover around the Freshwater Sea counterclockwise?? Which will take ages to reach New Apolyton again in other words.

DeathByTheSword · September 20, 2002, 11:07

we are sending the rover that way but it wont take that long maybe 7 turns orso

Pandemoniak · September 21, 2002, 05:18

Well, now that rover is dead
/me stays silent and thoughtful for a minute

I cannot take the responsibility to order 10,000 settlers to head for unknow lands, though. We need to escort them with scouts.

MrWhereItsAt · September 21, 2002, 05:53

to Maniac's first post.

DeathByTheSword · September 21, 2002, 07:09

I agree with the DTC that we cant send 10.000 citizens in the unknown without arms. this last incounter with the native flora (or is it fauna i always get those mixed up

) proves that we need better weapons soon and we cant risk sending out CP`s without support from a scout patrol or a rover, but because we lack the infrastructere and tech for building rovers we have to go with scouts

It was the fauna that did it. Say nice things about the environment and I 'll try to use my influence to prevent a re-occurence. It is the Cherokee worm. Any trinkets or pearls?
