Blend has been putting the technology wording in his status posts to remind himself of what they do during his turn. Feel free to do the same if that would help keep it in mind.

I kinda love it when D'rek unleashes her nerd wrath, as I knew she would here. Sorry innocent bystanders, but someone's gotta be the kindling.

I just read Sarween Tools again. Now I understand it. And haven't been applying it.

Yeah if it wasn't for me being the universities I would have probably done the same. Getting 2 infantry or 2 fighters for free with the purchase of anything else full price is nice or just take a discount on what you buy is good too.
Don’t think it’s cost me anything this round given the way the cards have been played but last one it would have been helpful.

I’m considering inverting my status post format. Putting that info before the actions...

You need to end your post with a status accurate to after your turn is done. But if you want to put a pre-turn status at the start, too, go for it.

Yeah. Or maybe just quote the previous one with just the status.

“Technology - Spend one strategy token and exhaust Mordai II to gain 3 tokens for my supply, adding 2 to my strategic supply and 1 for my tactical supply. ”
Huh?

Morgoth cannot research.
Instead, when Technology is played, he can pay its cost (if any) and add 3 command tokens to his supply, doesn't matter if it is primary or secondary.

I underestimated how many strategic tokens I needed. I didn't expect everyone to play their strategy cards on the same turn. Oh well.

Check out twelve and Morgoth constructing space docks next to Mecatol, wonder what they intend with those 
I considered flying into one of those two systems on my first turn, but I doubt I would have been able to keep them from you guys. Meanwhile, my Mecatol adjacent system is a 1/1 sigh.

Building a space dock there was my plan from the start, so you taking Mecatol hardly influenced that. I’m struggling a little to find my footing in this game to be honest, especially since the strategy cards sequence didn’t go my way. It looks to me like a lot is going to happen next round though, and as we know, chaos is a ladder 😁

So what's the thoughts on this incentivised disarmament? Disarm mecatol rex? One of twelves huge amounts of infantry? Something else?

Yes I get that, I'm not saying it did. But you are building a space dock there because it has good production AND is near Mecatol. Which is the same reason why I considered taking it before you got there.

If you insist it's one of mine can it be everra and not zohbat? I'm not against it being one of mine but Im not comfortable it being the one closest to the virus who is looking to tech up.
I don't know what I'm doing but it sounds good.

Khell - you're a dick for not refreshing your commodities. Waste of a free refresh as far as I'm concerned. I'll just steal them later now.
