Tatts, you should strike through your Commander and Hero abilities as they arent unlocked yet
There is no struggle too vast, no odds too overwhelming, for even should we fail - should we fall - we will know that we have lived. ~ Anomander Rake
My sig comes from a game in which I didn't heed Blend's advice. So maybe this time I should. ~ Khellendros
I'm just going to have to come to terms with the fact that self-vote suiciding will forever be referred to as "pulling a JPK" now, aren't I? ~ JPK

Yup
@IH - don't forget to list your planets
@all - if you can bold and colour-code your status blocks, that does make things more readable. If you have the RTE editor disabled on the forums (Settings -> General Settings -> "Enable visual (RTE) editor?") it really does become pretty easy to copy+paste the status block from your last post to the next post and just update it without losing the formatting/getting really wonky formatting like the br tag in IH's block. Takes a bit of getting used to, but I recommend it.

@ Tatts: The populate the outer rim PO seems achievable for you so long as I don't contest you for the empty space hex next to my homeworld. I'd be willing to make a deal over that.
Well that would be awfully kind of you and because you mentioned it and because I didn't even realise POs were out yet. How about I trade you something in return for no contest of that empty space and only moving the minimum ship there ie a cruiser.
Thoughts on this bad boy...
TERRAFORM | ACTION: Attach this card to a non-home planet you control other than Mecatol Rex. Its resource and influence values are each increased by 1 and it is treated as having all 3 planet traits (Cultural, Hazardous, and Industrial).

Much better.
"Technology:"
"Leaders:"
"Other:"
could all be bolded.
I also recommend we start using #DDDD00 instead of #FFFF00 for the yellow tech colour (I already converted the ones in the reference thread, if you are copy+pasting from there) since #FFFF00 is often too bright to easily read.

Oh and you guys can delete the "(Pre: -)" parts of the technologies in the status blocks if you want to, since at that point you already have them. I just put them in the reference thread so you don't have to remember all the prerequisites when "shopping" by looking at the list there.

FYI you know this is a one time use racial PN? I'd say you are undervaluing it!

Any thoughts on Atlas Tatts?
You are also a strong PDS faction so would benefit a lot from my alliance card and the use of my hero (you'd get an extra PDS shot/bombard/AFB), and you are sure to have many PDS on the board.
I think a mutual deal regarding PDS (we don't fire on each others ships but if someone else attacks our PDS defends the other) and alliance swap could be beneficial for us both.
You'd be free to expand into any vacated saar territory and I'd be able to build the little fortress of my dreams.
I'd be willing to do this if you cede atlas to me.
I know we had a stormy relationship last game, but I hope we can have a better one this game.

This sounds quite a deal. How do the alliance cards work?
I'll have to go look that up. Knowing you are on the beta wormhole and me on the alpha it'll block intrusions from afar.
Basically same as support for the throne, but instead of a VP they let you use the other persons commander ability as well if it is unlocked.
I'll go for this. We do an alliance swap and dont fire upon each other but defend our territories?
So when we neighbour we swap alliance tokens and you do not occupy atlas. We both stay out of each others territories, don't fire on each others units and if attacked and our PDS can come into play to defend the other we do so. Deal!
My commander should be active ~2nd round, I appreciate yours may take a little longer.

IH And Khell I'll need your answers regarding my Trade offer as I'm likely going to be popping trade right away. Tatts you too if you happen to change your mind.
I'll need you to agree to swap my commodities out as part of the 1TG fee, but I can do that.
FYI I consider cormund to be my natural territory and I hope we don't get into any squabbles over it.

I'm pretty sure we can pencil Khell in with Construction. He is Saar after all.
I don't know what I'm doing but it sounds good.

Posted 09 January 2021 - 12:18 AM
Now we just need Khell to pick construction and then we can start!

I don't know about considering it as your natural slice as it's in the grey area between locations but I don't have any plans in regards to it so we shouldn't have any issues over it. As for the Trade proposal, I don't have any issues in regards to washing your commodities as part of the deal for the 1 trade good . Are you going to move to Cormund this round? I've been rethinking my plans and I'm thinking of going to Everran first now instead of towards you. Getting my Commodities washed prior to Warfare is sounding very good.

Yes I'll move to cormund first round if you'll do the swap before warfare is played.

I was thinking that my Mech was rather uninspired, but having given it some more thought I've come to the conclusion that it's pretty great! It can function as 2 Fighter II, in addition to its regular ground force capabilities. Not perhaps the most flashy power, but it seems very useful to me!

Blend, I think we can find a good deal that way, I like your trade suggestion with the exchange of alliances.

And the two-card-pick-one explore thing is really good.
