Invasion Planet Earth - Page 5

1892, we discover flight and nuclear power.
1893, we discover robotics. 58’000’000 citizens.
1894, we discover laser. Hey, we can’t build more cities !
1895, we discover radio.
1896, we discover advanced flight.
1897, we discover rocketry.
1898, we discover combined arms. Spanishs, Americans and English undertake Apollo programm.
1899, we discover space flight.
1900. we discover plasitcs. Spanishs build Apollo. Hey, they have some industrial capacity. We can see the map of earth. Mmm, looks like a good time to give the game to someone else !

In the 1st years, I emphasized trade and in the last one, I began to try to improve the production. We’re miles behind. Spanishs cover the whole North America, Englishs own Africa. Russians rule Australia and have a foothold in Madagascar, South California and a strong hold in south China. Americans are not bad either with Siberia and the Russian plains under control, while only the Germans and the Japanese look undermatched. It’s going to be a tough one. Let us hope that the Ai still hasn’t learned to make war !

Rufus T. Firefly · June 19, 2001, 00:36

Um, I'm about to disappear as well, but I'm definitely in for the long term. I'll be out of the loop until August 20; if you get to me before then, skip me, but hold my place in the rotation for the next round!

SandMonkey · June 22, 2001, 16:01

Sorry guys, I had no idea this game was going to be coming to me heh

but yeah, I left for camp the day the game was sent to me, and I just now checked my mail from a college campus computer, so i can't download it right now. I'll get home tomorrow afternoon, so I'll try and get the turns done tomorrow night. Sorry for the wait!!

Julius Brenzaida · June 23, 2001, 15:11

Sandmonkey, well, don’t worry. Considering the speed of the game, you’re one of the fastest.
Rufus, good holidays and of course you can be back in the lineup when you come back.

Thoddy · July 4, 2001, 09:03

Was lange währt wird gut.

shade · July 10, 2001, 06:30

Thoth · July 26, 2001, 17:58

Anybody know what the status of the game is?

Thoddy · July 27, 2001, 01:47

I think it's Sandmonkeys turn. He's moving a unit per diem.

Julius Brenzaida · July 29, 2001, 12:35

Well,

Sandmonkey, seem to have disappeared

Roman is still on holidays, I think so Zulu Elephant, you're next.
Here's the saved game.

no, they're considering their strategy very carefully!

shade · October 3, 2001, 13:40

It will sure be a surprise(attack) when they attack.

(i agree they should be carefull when starting their campaign)

Shade

Rufus T. Firefly · October 11, 2001, 10:14

This is ridiculous! I have no time this weekend, but I'm willing to download the most recent version save and play 20 turns the weekent of Oct. 19. Would anybody object to that? Or wouldsomebody else like to make the same pledge?

Thoddy · October 12, 2001, 04:08

Do it Rufus,

let's do it.

Julius Brenzaida · October 16, 2001, 17:41

Yes, do it Rufus. I agree wholeheartedly

I've just come back from holidays and I was ready to suggest something like what you proposed.

I'm the only one to have played my turn in this 3rd phase and I'm tired of running after people, see the last few pages. So, whoever proposes himself to play, plays next. Rufus, Thoddy and ??? And it shall become the new order

Let's show those earthmen of what planet we are really from

Rufus T. Firefly · October 17, 2001, 05:18

Good news for me, bad for the game: my weekend has filled up with social obligations.
Bad news for me, good for the game: next Tuesday my wife leaves town for a week, leaving me to single-parent our daughter and spend my evenings alone.
I'll begin playing Tuesday, and finish asap. If anyone wants to get to it before that, let me know.

Thoth · October 17, 2001, 08:12

Go for it Rufus. I'll follow you.

Good luck.

Thoddy · October 17, 2001, 08:23

I will follow Thoth.

Julius Brenzaida · October 17, 2001, 08:50

I'm glad to see the Aliens can still field a team

Julius, Rufus, Thot, Thoddy, great

Anyone else of the old lineup or new

We're gonna kick some Earthing butt

Thoddy · October 17, 2001, 09:53

Just a little question,

should we use xaos against the "fungi" humans or not. There is a little difference. :evilgrin

Rufus T. Firefly · October 25, 2001, 16:56

30 years after he left office, and aging though still spry Rufus T. Firefly was coaxed out of retirement, away from his comely-if-zaftig former intern (now the second Mrs. Firefly), to assume again the presidency of The Empire Nobody Wanted.

Upon taking office, scientists informed Firefly that the nations of the planet "Earth" seemed to be working on interstellar space travel at an incredible rate, while our own empire -- in spite of having the requisite technology -- was content to build factories and sewer systems. The priority was clear: get to Earth before the Earhlings reached AC! This was to be the sole priority of the Firefly administration...though events would soon add another.

1901 - Superconductor discovered; many factories and power plants rush-built.
1902 - Spanish launch!

Due to arrive in 1918. Alien spaceship construction begun.
1903 - Americans launch!

Due to arrive in 1919. Environmentalism discovered; science funding lowered to 10% in anticipation of rush-building our ship.
1907 - English launch!

Due to arrive in 1923. Stealth discovered; science lowered to 0% (discovery every 13 turns ) in a final push to get our ship into space.
1910 - Russians launch!

Due to arrive in 1927. German spaceship destroyed. Modules rushbuilt for completion next turn, and science raised back to 20 or 30%.
1911 - Our spaceship is launched!

We'll arrive on Earth in 1918, just moments before the Spanish arrive on AC. Genetic Engineering discovered.

Around 1908, Pres. Firefly began to be concerned that the Earthlings would arrive in just ten years, and the Alien Empire was woefully ill-defended -- all cities were without fortifications, and most lacked any military at all! Our millenia of peaceful isolation had left us weak. Thus, as the spaceship neared completion, he began an empire wide civil defense program, diverting all available resources into city fortifications and the drafting of Chon-ee military defense units. This project was in full swing, though little had been actually completed, by the time he retired at the beginning of 1911.

In 1911, our population is 69,000,000; we're getting discoveries every 2 turns and netting ~2000g/turn.

Good luck Thoth

Julius Brenzaida · October 26, 2001, 16:34

Great job Rufus !
But it's going to be a tough one.
BTW, our spaceship will land in AC ! But we'll get a few free colons and marines and avoid somebody else coming to us.
Thoddy, I think we will NEED Xaos ...
