Going anywhere nice the pair of you? Khell why are you leaving early? Are you giving him 3 days to consider what you propose?

Yep, we're off to work on our 'diplomatic relations'


I'm off to Bosnia for a week to visit the grandparents and such.

[Tattersail_]

You both are making me jealous, CF for where he is going and Khell because he has Grandparents!

[cerveza_fiesta]

Yeah, grams are awesome. Sad I only have 1 left, but glad she's healthy and planning to stick around for a bit.

So anyone else notice what a kick ass army Tapper has built himself lately? I wonder what he is planning on doing with all those little ships he's got built? I have a feeling we are going to find out shortly.

My assumption was that he was building it in response to SS.

Mine too. Although his cheap production and fleet is scary as hell.

Mostly, yes.

The tech also gives me a fighting chance if I ever have to face improved hull based ships.

Wage war against EVERYONE.
You know you want to.

I actually thought I had one more move to make, but I am good with this move.

Well I thought you were going to do an influence action to, either remove a disk and then settle another money planet or just to settle the money planet and remove the hex in bankruptcy. Either way you could have given yourself another colony ship to use down the road. But Passing works good too. You've been able to get some good tech working this strategy.

I am hoping to actually get the key, but with what you said you may not let me even with the bargain/alliance/hope. I was going to influence to get the colony ship to colonise the hex after battle BUT I just cannot afford it. Can I remove two hexes with one influence action?

[Tattersail_]

If I can and Morgoth hasn't gone yet I may do just that, removing from the two hexes and flipping a ship.

@Twelve, can you confirm the above, can I put two discs back to my track?

You can place an influence disk on a hex after battle but you don't have any more colony ships available to settle money planets/orbitals so influencing Morgoth's homeworld would force you to bankrupt another hex. But by using an influence action you get to reset one colony ship as the Magellan and you can move up to two influence disks from a hex to either another hex or back to your player board or from your player board to a hex. So yes if you want to remove two influence disks from hexes with an influence action you can but any population cubes you have to remove from that action go back to the population track not the graveyard so you won't get any production from them this round.

Gnaw actually used that influence action multiple times this game already when he went all out to stop you only to not stop you.

[Tattersail_]

Okay Influence, remove discs from 324 and 311, flip colony ship. Put materials cube back to track

[twelve]

So I know you are planning on removing a disk from Epsilon Carinae but what other hex are you thinking about? Pollux or Canopus are the most likely. As you settled Canopus with a population cube this round I'm leaning towards you removing from Pollux to give up the science cube.

Edit:

and my guess was wrong you took it off of Canopus.

The accidental move from earlier, i'd be in a better position now without that particular move.

I actually had hoped to be finished with the game long before this, but now my own vacation is approaching.

I'll be gone the 31st of July thru the 11th. Gnaw, do you want to take a stab at modding in my absence (I can leave you some instructions for the Rho Indi)?

Just want to sound out others for their thoughts. If you'd prefer not to swap mods partway through then I don't care. Pace of this game is not an issue for me whatsoever.

Sure. But I have no problem if somebody would prefer me not to.
