I'm not sure you should be influencing or exploring. At this point in a real game I would be making significant glances at you or suggesting you come to the kitchen so I could unfold my master plan. What's the ruling on off thread communication?

They say they'd prefer to have it all in game. I am listening. i was thinking of influencing, removing disc fom super nova, placing on iota bootus colonising materials and science. Then placing disc back on supernove colonizing science and money.

That would put me at 8 science income, 10 economy. With advanced labs researched next round, my science income would be +12, I could then grab either advanced materials or economy by 2 oe 3 cubes. That would be 8 materials income or 21 money income.

Doing this now would have long term benefits.

Don't forget, sneaky D'rek can hop into my territory after she builds three shrines. Yet I was also looking at invading her later on, maybe round 6 onwards.

I know you have more experience than me and if you see something better then I am happy to roll with that. Does it include wiping Twelve off the face of the universe?

Friends, you all see as well as we do here on Earth that the SD is out of control. He pays lip-service to the military by researching a faster drive, shares Earth's secrets with a dangerously intelligent alien race, and for some reason insists on maintaining diplomatic ties with another dangerous, heavily-armed alien race. I'm all for mutually beneficial relationships but it seems like we're nothing but the Hydrans' meat-shield in this affair.


The climate is too hostile for us to rise up here on Earth - citizens of the Old Colonies adore their peace-loving hippie Supreme Director and resent our warmongering. Among the citizens of the frontier colonies however, we know that our message rings true. Continue spreading the word and we'll either force the SD to do what's right, or we'll.......

OK that influence makes sense, how many turns do you have after that? It might make sense to upgrade with drives and move them so they are in a position to strike at twelve or GC. If you put fusion drive on them as well as normal drive they can move 3 spaces. Depends on the tech draw though, we need to get you some combat techs as soon as possible.

Other than the influence I will be able to do two extra moves. Research and upgrade?
