D'rek due to advanced robotics do I not get an extra influence disc, so it should show as -1 money?

Oh ya! I will fix that right away.

D'rek, Can you only research what is on the supply board?

Or anything that is in the regular technologies?

Only what is available on the supply board. Hence some people racing to get more desired techs when they are drawn. It is one of the reasons why passing first is beneficial.

Wait, wrong game.


THE ALL-UNDERSTANDING ENLIGHTENED OF LYRA THE LUSCIOUS HAVE ARRIVED!


I'll let you know my genius move as soon as I've updated myself on what's what. Won't be long.

I hadn't really thought the whole alliance prospect through other than I didn't want to fight you, but if you took that tier 1 tile off me, we would probably have to, as I'd lose access to the best tile prospect I have available, and you would be right in the middle of my tiles with a nice big fleet and nowhere to go. As to why you would ally with me, well you'd get secure borders for another turn, time to get advanced mining (and neutron bombs when they inevitably come up), and i get the time I need to explore for more discovery tiles.

I'm completely open on the prospect of a third member of the alliance or just going as a two (2 three people alliances would inevitably lead to one person being out in the cold). Hell twelve could join us if he wanted to, could make things very interesting.

EDIT: Note sure how much I will be around the rest of the day, so to make things move more quickly:
Provisional orders: If there is an alliance between D'rek and me, explore NE from homeworld and claim it
If there is not an alliance, move interceptor to fight ancient and pray .

Sheesh, this is such an overreaction. You already have a tier 1 hex, not getting one you already have is not some sort of set-back. And discoveries seem to be the important thing to you, and you can eaasily gobble them up by just exploring outward because over half the tier 3 hexes have them, whereas my chances of getting a brown planet in one explore are really bad.

And then "join my alliance or die"? Why would I ever want to join an alliance where my ally will be someone with that attitude? I'd be paralyzed for the rest of the game with the need to be ready for your betrayal when some other random little thing sets you off and you betray me.

So here's my counter. It's not a counter-offer, just a statement. If you fly your interceptor into Castor, I will agree to twelve's alliance offer and let him fly his dreadnaughts through the warp portal to attack your homeworld (and my cruisers will come along for the fun, too). If you don't, I won't, and we can all keep on pleasantly growing our economics and fighting Ancients without the need for everyone to suddenly scramble into alliances and probably make the game a 3v3v1 from here on.

I think D'rek is giving IH a chance to respond to her latest statement so is holding off on his provisional. I think it's okay if Khell makes a move if he wants but maybe Khell is waiting to also see how this back and forth between IH and D'rek is going to play out himself before making his move.

I have told you I wanted diplomatic relations with you and with the latest development on the other side of the warp portal I don't see why you need to fear us not getting along. So I look through the looking glass while you look right and we can have a peaceful coexistence on our shared border.

Yes, I will wait for IH before processing his provisional.

(or doing whatever it is he chooses to do)

EXPLORE north-west of my homeworld, please.

IH, would you like to form an alliance?

He probably meant the last tier II sector left to explore.

So with Khell's track record for self inflicting wounds for him and his team, does IH really even want him on his team.
