Director Exploration and Intelligence orders

Southern Scout
Move west to the river, then follow the river to the unknown territory in the west, don't pop any pods untill the area is fully discovered.

Westerns Probe Foil
Head straight west, once a coast is encountered, follow it northwards, unless there is evidence of another faction/sea base in to the south. Once a base is found, infiltrate it.
Don't pop pods unless there is enough movement left to get away from a potential Isle of the Deep.

Eastern Probe Foil
Move northeast a few tiles, then east, towards the unknown base northwest of the Universities territory and infiltrate it.
Don't pop pods unless there is enough movement left to get away from a potential Isle of the Deep.

What happens if we don't get Makahlua's and dmm's orders like last time? Will we use Maniac's proposals?

AdamTG02 · November 17, 2002, 11:15

Switch to Wealth immediately. Switch to Knowledge upon receiving Cyberethics from Morgan.

Keep 50% / 50% energy rates unless the psych rate must be upped to avert riots, and using a Doctor would produce a deficit of Nutrient or Minerals. (Or, if the DIE won't consent to using a Doctor in the situation.) In that case, go to 40% Econ, then 40% Research, then 30% Econ, and so on, increasing Psych by as many 10% increments as necessary to restore order.

DeathByTheSword · November 17, 2002, 11:42

drogue we have a some long buildqueues still from maki about dmm then we probably use maniac`s proposal!

Maniac · November 17, 2002, 17:06

I haven't looked at the turn yet, but I suppose these will still be fine:

Orders of the Directorate of Terraformation and Colonization

Base locations: (14.54), (19.59), (6.108), (5.113), (19.107), (27.105), (30.98)

Some more former orders. You probably won't need them all but you never know:

Former SE of Sheathed Sword, to be assisted by the former in construction in that base:
Finish the mine. Then move north to build a road to new base location (14.54) along the tiles (13.61-59) and (14.58-56).

Four formers near Terminal Dogma:
Build forest on nutrient forest. Complete the road to that base; farm&solar (15.67) and forest (17.67) along the road. Then split them in two groups. Group one builds a road to new base location (19.59) along the tiles (19.63-61). Group two builds a mine&road on (18.68). If finished, build farm/condenser/roads on those flat&moist tiles east of Terminal Dogma.

Three formers near Tacticus Academy
Two of them finish the condenser. The third builds roads on the flat squares (7.85), (5.87), (6.88-90). If finished, start on another condenser on one of these tiles.

Two former en route to (27.105):
Complete road to base location. Then build sensor array on future base square. Continue with planting forest on the tile SE of base location. Then build farm/condenser/road on that nutrient tile.

Two formers en route to (19.107):
Finish road. Then build sensor array on the future base square. Then build forest and road on the nutrient tile.

Two formers near New Tassagrad (with a third one to come):
Complete road to that base. Then build a farm on the tile S of New Tassagrad. Then build a road towards the previous group of two formers to complete the "Freshwater Ring" superhighway. Plant some forest when they have spare time.

Two formers near Deus Ex Machina (with third to come):
Complete farm/solar/road. One former should create a forest E of Deus Ex Machina. The two others are to build a road to new base location (6.108).

Director of Research Orders

first choice: Environmental economics
second choice: synthetic fossil fuels

i doubt we'll get to another breakthrough (23 turns) so i guess the only way we'll get to use these orders is if we get HEC some other way *cough*probing the hive*cough*

i dunno, it isn't in uni's territory, but northwest of it....could be anyone we haven't met, though there is a big chance it is the hive.

Drogue · November 18, 2002, 05:16

It's The Leaders Horde (Hive) I think.

Maniac · November 18, 2002, 15:19

We got a map of Hive territory in Joeno's chat - it IS the Hive.

DeathByTheSword · November 19, 2002, 17:39

which orders do i still need or can i play the game?

Method · November 19, 2002, 17:59

missing IE, BP, PO, and FA. in other words, not really

Maniac · November 19, 2002, 18:40

We have already contacted all factions, so orders from FA aren't necessary.
PO not necessary too.
And I practically assumed the role of Internal Affairs (TC, BP and IE), proposed some changes for their orders, which were accepted. No need to wait on new orders from the directors thus. Please play the game before Wednesday evening! Otherwise there will be too little time to post polls for the next Saturday chat.

GeneralTacticus · November 20, 2002, 02:03

Well, we still need orders on how to resolve the Hive War, for my Directorate.

GeneralTacticus · November 20, 2002, 02:33

Here they are:

DoFA Orders:

1) Keep trying to get whatever techs Morgan and Zakharov may have.

2) Keep trying to Pact with Zakharov.

3) Try for a straight-up peace deal with the Hive, with no concessions by either side (unless Yang offers them, but don't risk demanding them).

4) If peace is acheived, go for any techs Yang has, but don't trade away important techs.

5) Don't trade for energy, but be willing to trade it away.

6) Don't extort them for anything, or give in to any demands.

DeathByTheSword · November 20, 2002, 09:49

DeathByTheSword · November 20, 2002, 16:00

Maniac · November 20, 2002, 16:23

I figured you would be watching Netherlands - Germany on TV?

DeathByTheSword · November 20, 2002, 16:50

no not really i am not a soccer (to use the english word) fan i am an atletics person

Drogue · November 20, 2002, 17:09

Um... soccers American, not English (I no I shouldn't complain but I don't want the world thinking American Football is the true football

)
OK.. now I sound like an idiot!

You do athletics? What's your event?

Method · November 20, 2002, 17:14

Cool, might see you at the Euro Champs someday

DeathByTheSword · November 21, 2002, 17:49

Drogue

are you doing atletics too?

Drogue · November 21, 2002, 19:04

Yep! 100-400m, 110 and 400m hurdles and (at times) Decathalon. Most of that's just school or county level though, sprint hurdles is what I do 'seriously'.

DeathByTheSword · November 22, 2002, 07:02

i sux at hurdles....i did decathalon a while but i cant do that 1500 that well :S
