The Command Nexus
As the new DPO, I am resurrecting the Command Nexus, as a way to give the citizens of our great faction a say in the military operations. This first post will be updated after each turnchat, with military information, and requests for input on tactics and other military stuff.

Firstly, a big one, which I will discuss with the DFA too. Out of the factions we are at war with, which should we concentrate more on? Which should be out main targets? And should we only concentrate on that faction, or try to hit more?

Please feel free to say post anythign you would like to bring to my attention as DPO, from new units you'd like to see, to complaints about building requests. All input is welcomed.

We should live up to the name of our faction : PEACEKEEPERS

No agressive war please - only defensive.

Well, given the main focus of our attention for the past few decades, it is clear that the Hive should be our first target - which should be very easy, considering the (lack of) resistance htey have so far put up. After that, we should see if the toehr facitons are willing to make peace; if yes, well, do it; if not, launch some strikes against them to force them into a peace deal. I suggest that with the Spartans, at least, if they refuse to sign a peace treaty, we should strike at Sparta Command; it's isolated and on the coastline, so we can easily hit it with our marines, and taking it would kick the legs out from under the Spartan economy.

With the state of the world as it is at the moment, perhaps we should put "peacekeeping forces" in all nations for the meanwhile. These are dangerous times afterall......

Heh... had I been elected, I would have started setting up task forces ready to intervene against pretty much anyone, using carriers and transports full of marines.

Bah, just establish a lasting peace by overwhelming all possible belligerent parties

Seriously, though, we know that the AI has great difficulty (outside of a submissive pact) with the concept of "lasting peace with the human", so the only way to "keep" the peace is to sub-pact them all... and even then they might go after each other, so really the only way is to achieve victory.

to WoA. Wholeheartedly agree. I like GTs idea though, of a rapid response task force, ready to intervene whenever necessary. However, I think certain opposing factions can be contained without a large scale war. So is the consensus take out the Hive, before trying anything much with other factions (bar defense). This seems sensible, then the remnants of the Hive war can be used if we need to strike another faction. Should have polls up tomorrow, ready for weekend turnchat.

Thanks for the opinions people, keep them coming

What I had been planning was to have in UNSG 10-15 Choppers, two Transports full of best/near best AAA defenders and some rovers/tanks. The Choppers would take out the defense in as many of the Hive bases as possible, and the defenders would rush in and take roughly half of the Hive. We would then hope for peace, and if not Yang would be in no position to attack us further, until we could end his threat forever.

As for the other factions, I had hoped not to need to engage them beyond defensively. To this end, I hoped that peace terms could be found, and whether they were or not, some clean Radar cruisers were to be deployed in the seas approaching our continent as early warning. With our industrial capacity nothing further would be needed until an invasion was detected.

Alert! Alert!
*Ding, ding*



Morgan wil have a functioning Planet Buster within two years, and I can't see any way we can stop him from getting it, even if we went to war over it. Anyone have any ideas as to what to do now?

Oh, and another matter: one of our aircraft has spotted a Hive ship near Great Clustering. I suggest we send a chopper down to sink it.

I was wondering when and if someone was going to notice that. I already saw the PB construction 8 years ago, but I said to myself: "Let Morgan build it first and then tell it to everyone to create some excitement."

We may need to provoke Morgan to Vendetta quickly, attack until he changes production and then sabotage. I haven't looked at the map recently. Are we close enough and have the choppers to do this.

Of course I would need to poll to get backing for such action, ie provoke war.

On the other hand there may be other ideas. Have we an orbital defence pod in production, have we the tech. even then it has only 50% chance.

Sub carrier? I have to say I don't think Morgan will use it to declare war. If he declares war however, it will be our first target.

GT: Great idea, have put in orders

In case you didn't know, the submarine ability has no use when playing against AIs. They always know the position of all your units anyway.

Suggestion: take out the PB silo with a probe team, blame it on the Hive. If things go awry, we pacify the capitalist pig in the traditional manner.

I expect it would be quite hard to get Morgan to declare war on us without firing the first shot, given that he's at Magnaminous right now.

(however, we may eba ble to secure a Pact, and then blow up the PB and blame it on the Hive. If it goes right, we get away with it... and if it goes wrong, at worst, we lose the Pact)

I will poll about pre-emptive probe action, both with regards to people unfavourable to us, and to removing PBs and the like. However, I am against it, unless it is to remove PBs, and we are relatively certain that they will use it. If that is true though, then I think we have little option but to destroy the PB.

Yes. We could get that in about 5 turns or so, if we beelined for it (1 turn for HS, 2 for Digital Sentience, then another 2).

Depends where it comes on the Science poll. If we get SAM, I will push for orbital sattelites being built, as a high priority, and also the disarmament of Morgan's PBs, if the need arises.
