Because no one around you has neutron bombs yet. You're probably better off grabbing neutron bombs yourself before worrying about countering theirs :p


Heh. Neutron bombs were the very first thing grabbed. By the squid.

Danke.
If D'rek would be so kind as to email me the tile scans, I will attempt to keep an updated board for us.

I've done my upkeep, but it'll be a while before I make my first move - got lots on non-Eclipse related work to do today - if we're even ready to start Round 2?

I know, I know, but I've got obligations, people relying on me, entire nations even. A little bit like Eclipse, actually.

Why is your head so squashed?

Did anything much really change? The hive didn't move, the supernova didn't explode, etc. All the tiles are in the same place as the last update. Everyone can just check their own upkeep posts to see what resources they have, and CF posted the new tech tiles.

I mean, sure, if you really want I can email Gnaw all the files I sent CF before, but CF also did a bunch of finding them himself AND I'm sure he's edited them a lot to make them all scaled and work with his program, so it'd be better to get the edited files off of him.

Send everything to Gnaw. It seems to me that he is volunteering to mod the next game after this and is going to do all his prep work during this game so we can jump right into the next one right away.

@SS

I was taking a look at your upkeep and I think there are some mistakes that would allow you to settle the last pulsar hex. On your player card you show an income of 4 money but I think it should be 6 instead. You start with a base of 2 then you use 1 population cube for your homeworld, 1 from the diplomatic relation with Tapper and 1 for your pregame discard. This would put your income at 6 not 4. So that would put your ending money at 8 not 6 before flipping any colony ships because of the 2 starting money in the bank. With an upkeep of -10 you will still have to bankrupt a hex but then you could use that last colony ship to settle the material planet on Sineis instead of flipping it over for one money. This would net you 2 more materials and you would still have 1 money in the bank as well.

Can someone else look over his upkeep once more to make sure I'm not getting this wrong.

Hmm yes, it looks like his initial money cube wasn't discarded if I'm not mistaken, if he wants to depopulate the grey planet system, he can do as you say and would be better off.

EDIT: He can also use his free move from the other pulsar to move his interceptor to the grey system world next turn to retake it for free. He also has to choose which track to put the cube he is removing from the grey world on, production or research ie he can choose to have two more research or two more production.

Well I guess I could. Don't see anything on the horizon that would interfere with that. But for the meantime, I've got an idea I'd like to try out to make the images more phone friendly.
And are we still waiting on Khell to start the round?

Yes we are but I found an error in the upkeep for SS that would allow him to have more resources at the start of round 2 that he should fix too before we get too far into the first round of actions.

So now all the influence discs and population cubes are removed?
That means I have to use the INFluence action rather than the EXPlore (unless I decide to explore again obviously) to put the discs on the systems I want to keep?
