Orientations?

[twelve]

I want the lone wormhole to face north east towards the center. Place an influence disk but no planets (yet).

Poor CF. He keeps getting the barren planet tiles.

For Khell, link to supply board (I will get this in the first post eventually).

So you could take Gauss Shield or Nanobots for free.

Also, do you want to put a cube down on the planet?

Haha, I wrote down the list of tech with my pen and paper, so I'm not handicapped by the list not being in the first post!

I will take the nanorobots, get my nano tech up and running as I already have some grid tech.

And yes, can I place a population cube down too? Does this mean I use one of my colony ships? When is that reset (i.e. when do they flip back up?), at the end of the turn?

I'll explore North East towards middle. How do you know if the tile has ancients?

They are reset each round and two are reset each time you use the influence action. 1 for one of the new aliens races, Not sure which off the top of my head.

Twelve are you wanting dilplomatic relations with me?

There's also a list in the 3rd or 4th post, or so.

Yes, you can put a population cube down. You can place population during any of your actions, and also after combat at the very start of the upkeep phase, if you have any colony ships still flipped up. The colony ships get reset at the end of the cleanup phase (ie between rounds), and you can also use the influence action to flip two back up.

Nanobots incoming!

Yes. I'll explore towards the center my next action and if we both avoid the ancients I would gladly enter into diplomatic relations with you.

Nice!!! Can't go on your dreads right now but you could put it on your Cruiser or Interceptor blueprint.

The little skulls in the middle of the hex indicate ancients. The squareish outline indicates a discovery tile.

You uncover hex # 104:

Ouch. Gonna be a while before that one is cleared out. So much for diplomatic relations right away.

So that one has two ancients?

so...?

Putting it on interceptor/cruiser? Keeping it as a ship part to upgrade later? Taking the 2VP?
