Research

Not much progress is made studying Earth's environment. It is, after all, a very broad subject. All in all, after several weeks of study the scientists have gathered a lot of a theoretical knowledge, which extremely few practical uses.

Production

Fathership Production Line 1 : Soldier Caste => 4
Fathership Production Line 2 : Combat Dropship = > 2
Fathership Production Line 3 : Ki'k Drone  => 4

Please assign these to an army, or if no decision is made, I will do it myself.

Assign them all to attack South America.

It's in the OP, as always, though new production has not yet been assigned.

Oh, was looking in the wrong spoiler.

I think we should hold the combat dropships in reserve for now, until we have more. Two units aren't enough to make a difference, and it'll keep the enemy guessing about our capabilities.

So our total forces are:
Soldiers Caste: 28
Dropships: 23
Combat Dropships: 2
K'ik Drones: 8

I propose organizing them in two main task force of 10 Dropships and 10 soldiers and use them in North and South America. The 8 Ki'K drones should go and harass south-east asia or east asia. (Attrition) The rest is held in reserve.

Next turn we should probably stop producing Soldier caste for a turn or two unless we take dramatic losses.

Sky Killer for Air seems logical. Speed Demon and Iron Fist for the two main armies? Mobility seems good at this stage and Master Strategist can't be a bad thing. We'll just chuck one of the rest to command the reserve.

Seems logical.

Code: (Kal Terek OOB) [Select]
Task Force Alpha:
CO: Speed Demon
-10 Dropships
-10 Soldier Caste

Tasl Force Beta:
CO: Iron Fist
-10 Dropships
-10 Soldier Caste

Kal Terek Air Force:
CO: Sky Killer
-8 Ki'K drones

Reserve:
CO: Loyal Maniac
-8 Soldier Caste
-3 Dropships
-2 Combat Dropships

Alpha will attack south america, Beta will attack North America. I'm not sure if the Air Force should support our troops or try to damage the human's air fleet.

What is the point of attacking areas not opposing us?

Destroy their military, cause despair and panic, force the governments to understand they cannot oppose us, destroy those who do not surrender.

...

You do realize they will just toss support into the coalition built specifically to oppose us right?

It makes about a hundred times more sense to attack the people actually opposing us. Crush Them not the people watching to see how the coalition does. If you avoid opposition, it comes across as being afraid.

What about sending our new laser dones and drop ships to SE asia, while terrorizing Europe with our basic forces?

How about we don't make a stupid as fuck tactical blunder and instead just crush the people Directly Opposing Us.

It's a hell of a lot easier to keep governments pacified if we can say that we're only targeting people opposing us. A government isn't gonna waste resources on fighting something that seems rather powerful. Specially when it isn't attacking them.

We could destroy specific targets in Europe that will both damage infrastructure and make us seem to have a secondary goal.  For example destroying fossil fuel power plants.

If only we knew more about them.  I mean what sane species uses oil for electricity?

Or we could, you know, target the power grid in the countries Directly Opposing Us.

You wanna destroy infrastructure like I have been suggesting for the past several turns? Sure! Let's just destroy the infrastructure that it makes sense to destroy.
