Can you put the strategy cards up above D'rek? I've seen them and read them but would be good to have them with the other stuff upthread.

I'm very excited about the map, and the speaker token. And my secret objective. It's hard to plan without those, and I want to plan!

@ Tapper:

So we've got the big expert player between us, and on top of that he's playing a race which is all about advancing through combat. I know the game hasn't even started yet and we don't know what anything looks like, but what I'm basically saying is - help me!

Just be ready for betrayal from everywhere, then you'll be sound.

Question regarding researching technology and racial technology.

If I research a blue tech and start with a blue tech (Gravity Drive) does that equate to 2 blue tech's and if so does that automatically unlock Wormhole Generator or would I have to research wormhole generator next round?

The last thing I want is a fight with you guys! The galaxy is a big place, and I prefer to keep my trading partners close and my enemies preferably far away.

The way I understand it, is that with you starting tech + your first blue research, you will have the pre-requisites to be able to research Wormhole Generator. There's no tech freebies.

Nico would you like to become early allies? Swapping commodities and what would you offer for my promissary?

That is what I thought but was just making sure. Thanks

The Yssaril tribes are most pleased to make your acquaintance, and will gladly trade resources and information with all. We are most interested in the friendly progression of the galaxy. Alas our communications may sadly be delayed as our chief ambassador is on a diplomatic tour of the regions of the US.

We are happy to trade with you such extremities as you have seen fit to liberate from other, more quarrelsome races. There is much to be assimilated from biological samples.

We recently absorbed purchased a Tesla, but would much appreciate if you brought us back the newest iPhone. We hear it has many new inventions contained within and would love to break it down into it's individual quarks get our normal fleshy and spongelike hands on it.

Ah, yes, the Emirates of Hacan have no desire to do battle with any of you. We simply wish to extend our influence across the galaxy via tarriffs and trade. We believe all have a right to live in this galaxy, for a price, that is.

How exciting does that look guys.

[Morgoth]

Fellow flesh pods Solarians of Jord, we find the Arinam-Meer system to be a natural and absolute part of our cultural sphere, but make no claim on Saudor. We have no need for Quann, but might have to move through it at some point, though I am sure we can find an mutual beneficial agreement to that effect when it becomes necessary. Biological entity to biological entity.

[Morgoth]

Dear N'orr. Let us touch our naturally evolved appendages together in common recognition of a mutual cost/gain analysis friendship. We do not dispute your rights to Tura Nora, but also expect recognition of our claim to Daemon.

We both need broader access to the galaxy, but I am sure that we can work out an agreement that allows for both of our ambitions to flourish.

It looks really neat. I worry that the gravity rift will bite me something fierce, but at least it wont be boring!

What is the double green circle on New Albion SW of the Creuss Gate?


Green tech thing, I looked it up. I thought it was.

I welcome your recognition that Tura Nora belongs within Sardakk space, poor as its production may be. In return I will recognize that the ample bounties of Daemon are under Nekro stewardship.

I am also politely suggesting a further dialogue on more remote parts of space, that will soon be accessible to either of us. I would be open to finding a way in which you, as our technologically challenged scienctificly-kleptomaniac neighbour (which is said with great affection), can enjoy the fruits of blue research that a N'orr owned Centauri-Gral system may yield, for example, in a carefully staged 'joined military excercize with live fire'.
