I distinctly recall reading an Eclipse forum entry a couple of weeks ago about Draco running an interceptor into the center on the first turn and influencing Tier I ancient occupied hexes.

But the rulebook seems to say that you can't influence hexes from a pinned ship. And the GCD ancient pins all ships?

There are a lot of misunderstandings regarding draco, the rulebook is right, you can't do that

So how could the Draco influence the center hex? Do they need more than one ship in there?

[Imperial Historian]

They need to conquer it like everyone else. The centre is not an ancient.

Turn 6, IH, Tapper, Drek and I took a turn.

This is now round 7. IH are you passing? Then Tapper is upgrading. Drek passing?

Turn 7

Pass

I'm astonished tatts is thinking of allying with gnaw. He is in the perfect Orion situation, only one entrance and a weak neighbour.

I still think morgoths position is pretty strong, but apparently I am alone in this.

That said drek isnt in a great position. 9 player can be like that though. Its not quite as balanced as 6 player

Aren't you allied with Gnaw also? That would put us three in a good position no? I come through that doorway and smash Twelve into pieces

No, I'm not even going to think about alliances until turn 3, I don't want to get into an alliance with someone so soon. Plus 3 way alliance with twelve out in the cold would be boring!

I agree. The Galaxy split into three at the end of round 1 sounds incredibly boring.

It sounds boring, but there are a lot of twists and turns to come. D'rek, Twelve, Khell and you Morg are all turtles.

I passed ages ago, get your upkeeps in everyone. No-one can afford any more actions, lets get the tech draw out as soon as we can.

[Imperial Historian]

Gnaw if you are still around, PM me the tech draw before you go so I can choose rotation whilst everyone does upkeep. But you're almost certainly in bed by now I guess.

[Tattersail_]

That sounded rude. GC is watching the thread, but he could be asleep.

GC, submit to my will and I will lend you all the undergrads you need.

Upkeep


-17 Upkeep = 10 discs = 6 actions + 4 hexes

Bank == $3, S 1, M 5.

Production == $10 = 5 cubes = 3 planet + 1 ambassador + 1 discard

Bankrupt. Remove disc from hex 311.

Upkeep

-13 Upkeep = 6 Actions + 3 hexes.

New Amount = 0
Science 1 + 3 = 4
Materials 5 + 3 = 8

New Bank = $0, S 4, M 8.

[D'rek]

Yup, I Pass after the Pulsar upgrade.

Upkeep:

Build a Shrine of Freedom, for the cost of 2 Money.

Mon -> 0 +6 -5 = 1
Sci -> 1 +4 .. = 5
Mat -> 3 +3 .. = 6

Gnaw regarding Iota Bootus, that would be perfect. I need a way to get through and that would help me a lot.

NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Khellendros]

Colonise the available materials and science planets in my hexes (the science planet is in the tier 2 hex, the materials planet towards the far end).

As the planets move further from their suns and the climates grow cold, the ones known as Planta pause in their relentless infestation of new worlds. The petals fold and the roots settle deeper, as the ones known as Planta conserve their strength for next summer's growth.

UPKEEP:

Money:

Current Amount: 4
Upkeep: -10
Income: 10
New Amount: 4

Science:

Current Amount: 4
Income: 6
New Amount: 10

I'd still whoop y'all.

[twelve]

I mapped out my moves based on the fact that the Hive hex wouldn't be explored until Round 3 hopefully Round 4 by IH at the earliest. If Tatts is going to do it next round I think I will have to reevaluate what I need to do.

Grumble Grumble Grumble.

My Lord,

Our spies have learned of some distrubing news. The Cousins of the Ancients and the stoic military race of the Orion are agreeing to a partnership to create access to the ancient cluster system that lies between us. I know that we have embarked on a specifc course of action to properly prepare us for the challenges ahead but we must review those plans and be prepared for the coming assaults.

[Khellendros]

Wait, wait, I've just realised - has nobody yet told twelve that the rest of us had a PM conversation in which we agreed to come together to screw over his game before starting to play properly?

Well I already assumed that was what was going to happen hence my Turtle it up plan. Plus it's a different strategy than what I've employeed in the past. Trying to mix things up a bit.
