Blend - Explore tier II S of home-world

• 212 Hive
• Keep. Orient with 6 to the N. (why, I have no idea.)

I know that the probability of the Ancients rolling a six or a one are technically the same as any other of the numbers, but I feel like usually you see 2 to 5 more often than 1 or 6, so I wanted the 6 and the 1 pointed at the hexes that I currently have influenced.

I'm heading home for the night. Will try to pop in now and again to see if there has been any progress. If not, see you all tomorrow!

Jesus 33 pages of thread and we've barely been playing 2 days! I can't keep up with this.

Re: Tier 1/2/3 we discussed this pretty extensively last time, what we decided then continues.

Gnaw do you have the svg open otherwise I'll start updating the map.

Khell, personally I'm fine with the reorientation of your tier 2 tile, as technically I don't think I gave my orientation orders until after you had oriented your hex. I don't think it would have affected anyone else's moves.

Thoughts anyone else?

[Imperial Historian]

I provisionally explore the tier 1 hex.

If Khell decides to reorient and explore the tier 1 hex I'll explore the tier 3 hex between my homeworld and khells.

Tapper do you want diplomatic relations?

This is looking like a very strong draco start!

Maybe, maybe not.

Planta walling themselves off entirely from one neighbour and the Nebula slowing down the other side is good.

Orion having a clear path to the inner rings while their neighbours are a bit hung up on ancient hives/homeworlds (which Orion can potentially swoop in to grab instead) is good.

And you've just covered all three of your resources (sci planet, mat planet and +8 money discovery) so you're very set to get going on shrine building in your little corner, too.

As for me, two pretty good hexes so far, though far from the best. Got a little corner carved out, which is awesome, but on the other hand I almost would've preferred being able to harass Gnaw for reputation and a couple hexes. Khell already has +6 materials plus his colony ship ablities so I doubt he'll be someone I want to scuffle with. And already a lot of the ancients I would've liked to explore for more points never came out in the tier 2s or have been explored elsewhere where they will surely die.


Tapper, Tatts and Blend maybe not doing quite as great, but two turns is hardly a substantial setback - definitely still anyone's game right now.

Is there an updated map?

Nope. I closed it and made sure I synced it.

I'm surprised you're not swooping into the GC to influence.

[Gnaw]

BTW, the links to the google drive in post 2 apparently link to the file as it existed at that time, not to the current version.

Edit: and speaking of archival, I'm putting a copy of the current svg file into the "uploaded images" folder. A backup in case of boo boo.

... well thats completely idiotic ok scrap that idea.

I'd post the folder link, but since it gives anyone the ability to upload to my gdrive I'd rather not, you all have it in your PM I guess so shouldn't be too big a hardship.

New map is up

Ah, I see you discovered what those two colony ship covers are for.

[D'rek]

Added the missing ancient ship for Vega in.

What's with the big white rectangle outline thingy anyways?

That's the outline of the drawing.

edit: the canvass size.

next person to open the svg file ought to change the name to reflect the turn. Or drop it back to just "game VI" and reserve round/turn for the backups?

I started naming them to reflect the latest turn just so I could keep track of which was my latest version.
