Author Topic: The Hive Spire - A Game about building and running an Arcology against all odds  (Read 8888 times)

I figure the lower Arcology could be abandoned to the hoi poloi (or rather, the upper-middle class, as suggested by ebbor). Also, if the whole spire collapses for some reason, we'll always have the original Arcology. I'm assuming Arcologies are, like, reinforced such that whilst being on top of a collapsing tower will ruin them, being underneath one will be fine.
...maybe that's a silly assumption. I suppose it might be better to just do this:

Level 4: __A__
Level 3: __H__
Level 2: __H__
Level 1: FHH__

Raising the original Arcology up with the magical skyhook, and hoping like all getout that Habs can support this sort of weight.

Habs should hold out some 100 levels before they reach their threshold...

So we have several builds here:

Roboson's Triangle
Level 3: A____
Level 2: FH___
Level 1: HHA__

NUKE's Tower
Level 4: __A__
Level 3: __H__
Level 2: __H__
Level 1: FHH__

And Fallacy's Rectangle

Level 3: _FA__
Level 2: _HA__
Level 1: _HA__



I guess we vote now?

Isn't your triangle going to leave the first Arcology's people unhappy, Robo?

Level 3: A_A__
Level 2: F_H__
Level 1: H_H__

We'll call it the Improbable, because it is Improbable that this design would ever be chosen by a reasonable contractor.

Hey, Ghaz, can we build things BETWEEN things, like another Arcology built between the two Arcs on top?

You can't vote.

Ghaz picks the first valid order proposed by each person.

Shouldn't. The elites will live in the top. Acologys can be just better H's.

It is Ghaz's intention that our best laid plans be ruined by a lack of coordination. So, yeah, just slap down a building wherever you feel like.
That being said, if you slap down a building in such a way that it contributes to my plan, that'd be nice.

For reference, so far we have this:

Level 1: F_A__

So, how many buildings can you slap down, because if it's more than one...

Level 4: __A__
Level 3: __H__
Level 2: __H__
Level 1: FHH__

And there's my choice.
If it's only one per person/post/whatever...
Level 4: _____
Level 3: _____
Level 2: __A__
Level 1: F_H__

Perhaps, in the interest of keeping things running, players could be allotted a second action after enough time has passed?
I mean, not yet. Voidslayer and Roboson have yet to post a (valid) action, so if they both build something, we'll only need one more person. No need to rush yet.

So this looks like it'll be !!FUN!!, so I'll join in. And my first action will be simply continuing the plan.

Level 4: _____
Level 3: __A__
Level 2: __H__
Level 1: F_H__

Ah I see now. We do just one block per person.

My action is to build an H under that (nuke's) left F, moving the farm to the second level.

Build an H in the central section under the first A.

I know this is probably a dumb question but why can we not build down?

For the same reason i do not let you build endlessly into width. A) because you haven't unlocked the required tech/game progression so far and B) to ensure you are building upwards and not downwards.

Excellent both actions are valid. And with this i'm closing actions.

@Nuke yup that was the plan if players wouldn't post, but since you were happily discussing and keeping the thread running i saw no reason to yet give everyone a second action.

Update appearing soonish

Haven't we only built 4 things? We still have one build left right?
