Alright, just need confirmations from ItWasBliss, Gnaw and Tapper.


Do you really, though? Hasn't pretty much everything gone according to expectations so far (except for that G.Rift and Khell, but that's since been addressed) ?



I'd rather be safe than deal with a bunch of whining. :)


I suppose Tapper could now decide to plop Everra into 28 if he wasn't already planning so to make it harder for Twelve to get Arinam-Meer round 1 and MR round 2, though given that's across the board I'm not sure if Tapper really cares about it too much.

Where do we find out what the racial pns for each race are? I still don't know what the nekros racial pn does.
I don't know what I'm doing but it sounds good.

I'd be okay with that hex there. Good resources and a hard stop before reaching my homeworld. I approve.

D'rek do you want to swap racial PN's on the proviso I don't use yours in the first round?


I'm definitely up for a swap of some sort, but racial PNs probably isn't the best idea. I despise my racial PN (it's not flashy at all, but also such a bite-in-the-ass-at-a-bad-time) and was more or less hoping to just ignore it for the entire game, and your racial PN probably isn't all that useful to me given how little I expect to be trading (2 commodities wooooo). So maybe we can do ceasefire or trade agreements or political scandals or something, but let's wait for the map to be finished first, no rush just yet.

Nekro's racial PN stops Nekro from copying technology from that player.


In this game:

Saar - force the Saar player to move their infantry off of one planet
Sol - player who receives it can use Sol's Orbital Drop ability
L1z1x - steal a command token from the l1z1x player
Hacan - player who receives it can trade with anyone (persistent effect)
Winnu - swap strategy cards with the Winnu
Xxcha - force Xxcha to use their Quash ability
Creuss - can place/move one of the Creuss alpha/beta wormhole tokens
Arborec - Arborec player can't build on your borders
Mentak - Mentak player can't pillage from you

To answer Morgoths question earlier I picked Winnu by random. After reading over their stats they aren't a race I would have picked on my own as it seems kinda boring but once I was committed to them I'm excited to see how it plays out. With all the pressure Khell got last game by taking Rex early I feel I'll have a lot of attention directed my way as well. I'll likely be on defense all game without the awesome infantry Khell was able to utilize well to his benefit.

So, while we're waiting, what made you guys pick your race? For me it was to play something very very different from the Nekro, and preferably a race I've never played before, which made the Arborec the best choice. Besides, they also have a radically different way of playing than most races I think. Or it looks that way. Or maybe I'm just abnormally attracted to hiveminds.


I was bouncing between Nekro, Muaat, and Xxcha. In the end I decided on just going with the one that looked most fun.

Well okay. Was looking at your Quash ability before I replied.

But if anyone wants to pick a strategy card and they are at the tail end of picking order and we border i mighht be willing to sell my racial pn.

Alright, Tapper has agreed to stick with his hex choices, so I've posted the remainder of the map choices.

I'll finish building the map when I get home from work tonight.

Wow, Morgoth, you didn't have a very good hand of tiles, did you? I'd say things actually worked out a lot better for you making trades with us than placing your planets right next to yourself. (Not that I'm ungrateful, Gwynan is a great system even if it's no Mellon-Zohbat :) )

He hand 4 different planet tiles in his, but none of them were very impressive. But by exchanging his best with Twelve and my best, he got two really good tiles right next to his HW.
