Lazy Canadien

btw, there is another one:

(GT^Commish) And we're also ready to build a new base north of Metropolis.
(GT^Commish) Call it Shangri-La?

We did

And another colony pod is only a few turns away from arrival on the next base spot.The region has its own garrisons for each base, already two formers, and two recycling tanks can be rushed right away. With some major funding from our federal reserve, this region will be up and running quite soon, if someone takes up the challenge.

Edit: btw, if I'm not mistaken, this governor will also have the temporary over the new sea base.

Method · February 4, 2003, 17:12

correct.

and ced, i'm not canadien. that would imply that i'm french

_{PS: meaning from quebec...being from france OTOH, is nothing to be ashamed of}

Aha! You caught my subtle (or not-so) dig

Perhaps I need to go get Dennis Leary

Method · February 5, 2003, 18:55

archaic? herc? drug? anyone?

EDIT: we're on course to name it xenobanana. is that an incentive?

Cedayon · February 5, 2003, 19:32

If you need someone to make orders for it until you can ~~coerce~~ find someone for the job, I can take a look at the save...

Method · February 5, 2003, 20:46

could you? i mean, i we need orders for the next chat. if you'd do that, it'd be a great help.

Maniac · February 5, 2003, 21:14

err...

My pleasure.

Feel free to pick them apart and change whatever, anyone, I just did the "grunt work" with the structure and my suggestions.

Possible Orders for Xenobanana (well, it isn't official, but...

), 2242-

Requests to the DIA
Rush requests as follows:

Format of rush costs:
Cost for no carryover (Cost for 10 mineral carryover)

Requested immediately:
- Recycling Tanks in Ankh-Morpork in 1 turn for 54ec (74ec)
- Recycling Tanks in Metropolis in 1 turn for 46ec (66ec)

Requested for a bit later:
- Recycling Tanks in Shangri-La, whenever it becomes feasible
- The Sea Former in UNAXB, whenever it becomes feasible (it'll take till near the end of the term to build without some help)

If any other rushes become feasible, please consider them, as this region will be largely dependent on such spending to become truly productive.

Build Queues

Ankh-Morpork
Current Project: Recycling Tanks
Queue (changed):
Children's Creche
Supply Crawler
Rec Commons (if necessary)
Supply Crawler
Network Node
Former

Shangri-La
Current Project: Trance Plasma Skirmisher
I strongly recommend changing the current project to recycling tanks or a former, this base badly needs food (and is, indeed, about to drop to 2 pop units)
Queue (changed):
Rec Tanks or Former (whichever hasn't been built)
Children's Creche
Supply Crawler
Rec Commons (if necessary)
Supply Crawler
Network Node
Former (if necessary)

Metropolis
Current Project: Recycling Tanks
Queue (changed):
Supply Crawler (for the nearby rocky mine)
Children's Creche
Rec Commons (if necessary)
Supply Crawler
Network Node
Former (if necessary)

U.N. Aquaxenobanana
Current Project: Fusion Sea Formers
Queue (changed):
Children's Creche
Rec Commons (if necessary)
Sea Trawler
Sea Former (if there's enough minerals to spare the support)
Network Node
Sea Trawler

New base at (25,59) between Metro and U.N.Aqua

(a garrison unit is enroute with the CP)
Queue (changed, obviously):
Former
Recycling Tanks
Children's Creche
Supply Crawler
Rec Commons (if necessary)
Supply Crawler
Network Node
Former (if necessary)

Crawlers

Just pick good spots when the crawlers come on-line. A really good one, though, is for a Metro crawler to convoy minerals from the adjacent mine at (17,59, just W of the base).

Formers

Ankh-Morpork Former (18,54) (SW of Shangri-La), no orders
- Build Farm
- Build Condensor (it is necessary)
- Move to (18,52) (N)
- Build road
- Plant Forest (or should it be farmed?)
- Move to (17, 51) (NW)
- Build road
- Build mine

Metropolis Former (22,58) (NE E of Metro), building road
- Finish road
- Move to (23,59) (SE)
- Remove fungus
- Build road
- Build farm
- Build condensor (if necessary)
- Move to (24, 60) (SE)
- Remove fungus
- Build road
- (from here depends on priorities)

If Shangri-La builds a former, have it assist the A-M former nearby.
If the new base builds a former, have it assist the Metro former nearby.

Maniac, you have two formers very near A-M (14,58, S S of A-M), would you mind allowing their use to bolster A-M's food production? Orders would be as follows (for the both of them, or 1 if you need the other):
- Finish road
- Move to (14,56) (N)
- Build farm
- Build condensor
- (depends on how long you want to loan them)

Workers

Ankh-Morpork Worker (14,52) (N of base)
- Switch to (14,56) (S of base)

U.N. Aquaxenobanana Worker (26,62) (W of base)
- Switch to a normal sea square (nothing better that's unworked, and the fungus won't be producing anything)

New Workers
- At this stage the bases simply need food, the workers should be placed accordingly. If possible, work some good mineral squares. Hopefully some forest can be planted soon.

Oh, I didn't want to speak out of turn... but there's gotta be some orders for the turnchat, right?

edit- and feel free to re-work the orders if you want, Maniac. Completely, if need be, I just wanted there to be something to fall back on in the event of a vacuum.

well you've already got your own region to do, and since ced volunteered, that means he has the time to do it. i wouldn't want to force you to do the work if you couldn't

Maniac · February 6, 2003, 10:40

I'll check out those two formers. I was planning to let them build a road from Ankh-Morpork to Sheathed Sword, but that can probably wait. I'm sure I'll get some monetary compensations from TKG for loaning those formers.

Cedayon · February 6, 2003, 12:19

iirc they're working on the last square of that road right now, and the orders say to finish it

Say, TKG, you could be the Gov, right?

Method · February 6, 2003, 17:32

in theory, provided it's allowed by the constitution

Cedayon · February 6, 2003, 18:40

Well, given the rather obvious and prolonged dearth of volunteers... *hint hint, nudge nudge*

Hercules · February 6, 2003, 23:12

Go for it TKG. I am waiting for a sea based region.

Hercules · February 6, 2003, 23:16

Oh My God a barrel of mature and vintage Black Stuff has just fallen of a lorry outside TKG's house.

~~Hey, that was my bribe, how did you get it!?~~ Oh, how fortunate

Cedayon · February 7, 2003, 12:55

Btw folks, are there any problems with the proposed orders for the new region, or can they be posted in the orders thread as is?

Maniac · February 7, 2003, 13:06

Go ahead I'd say.

Hercules · February 7, 2003, 18:07

Yeah oK and a Barrel of Rum
