(( Can I assume the empires and such the map generator made are part of the neutrals or that the names will be dropped entirely? What I put in for Home territory will use the name on the map that was generated for you to know roughly where we’ll start. The microbes will very likely not use said names IC))
Civilization Name: Our Multicellular Experiment

1000 dsDNA viruses (0.5 points each)
2000 viroids (0.25 points each)

Spoiler: Troop Designs (click to show/hide)

Flagellate: A rod shaped bacterium with a flagella propelling it forward. Enough of them were found to cause infections in the scaled aquatic creatures we found trying to eat us and our agar. They are good at breaking cell membranes and do not need to live in a host to survive. If they find a cell smaller than them they can eat it directly. Due to them being bigger than our dsDNA viruses and viroids, they can also just eat the cell’s organelles, also so far they are the on;y troops which technically eat, our other troops require the cells to live to make more of them, pieces of RNA and viruses are easier for us to make because they are smaller
dsDNA virus: An isohedral virus lacking an envelope. It has many spike proteins that allow it to enter cells. Due to it being a virus and not metabolizing, it can stay in areas without a host but cannot copy itself without one, nor can they move on their own. Some extra Flagellates are sent with them to actually get them to the host. They can do lots of damage to cells. Since they are larger than our viroids, it takes less of them to make a cell lyse apart.
Viroid: An RNA strand in a closed loop that reproduces via getting ribosomes to make them. Due to this, it takes a while for them to actually damage or kill a cell.

Spoiler: Project Information (click to show/hide)

Agar Digestion: (2 points) Will all0w future troops we make to utilize our agar. Right now we make more troops by infecting the creatures nearby and using pilli to stick them to us until making them is complete, of course there are leftovers, which the rest of us partake in
Capsule: (3 points) Cell walls are wonderful, but right now, only a few of us can make capsules as well. This project will allow us to make capsules more readily, affording much more protection to us
Viral Envelope: (3 points) Sometimes our viruses don’t manage to get inside of cells. Perhaps if they were able to take some of the cytoplasm with them when they left, it would trick the cell into letting them in
Toxin Production: (4 points) Producing toxins will all0w us to kill many more cells in a much shorter amount of time
Virus Transport Cells: (2 points) We need specified cells to transport our viral units so we don’t have to lose any flagellates as we make our way to the battle site
Pilli extensions (2 points) Extending the reach of our pilli will allow us to stay attached for longer distances and trap smaller cells and organisms to prevent escape. If our flagellates and other bacterial troops we make have longer pilli, they can remain attached even if they go farther apart, making it more difficult to be engulfed by larger cells
Toxin Producing Cocci: (2 points) A spherical bacterium able to produce toxins and of course is immune to said toxins. [requires completion of Toxin Production to be recruited]
Spiral Bacterium: (2 points) A spiral shaped bacterium. It is larger than our Flagellates and can twist itself around proteins to prevent part of them from being used. Due to the fact it is bigger, it is given Agar to keep it alive [Requires Agar Digestion t0 be recruited, uses 1 Agar per unit]

It was spontaneous. I used to be a single cell, feeding on the rich nutrients ere along with others. Instead of competing like wee normally did, some other species started producing sticky things. I at first tried to escape only to realize there was no escape. I thought I was dead, then, it happened. We began transferring genes. Plasmids flowed among all of us as water flows in rivers. Eventually it became difficult to discern individuals, so we just didn’t. We’re something bigger now. We must survive as this new existence. We…no, I must explore. I’m bigger now, I need more nutrients

The world map will be made out of multiple combined player-made maps, and check your posts for rogue spoiler tags.

[Naturegirl1999]

Damn it, not again

[Screech9791]

Maybe I should shill this in the forum game list thread.

[Devastator]

If you can wait a day or so, I'll join up, just thinking.

I don't remember people starting with 100 of their SR, but you get it with your day 1 update anyways.

Approved, and I won't mind if you replace your map image with a hand-drawn replica to suit your paper theme. Also, please put a comma between "Immune to fire" and "ranged combatants that fling fireballs and scorching rays around the battlefield." in the Paper Wizard description.

I won't say whom, but there is a player in this thread with a super-based concept and I hate the idea of (potentially) going to war with them. To this person: good luck and godspeed in this game.

It's probably Devastator - can't wait to see his airforce once we enter the lategame.

[Naturegirl1999]

Are Devastator and I the only ones who made maps? If others want to play, we’ll need more maps

Which is why I won't plan on starting until we have at least 4 players, preferably 6-7.

I'll complete mine tonight. Definitely was hoping to see a few more faces, especially for a potentially large scale game like this one. But no biggie. I'm digging how varried our few nations are already.

I was hoping for more people to come but at least I got more than two responses. Giant cells, paper, alien invaders, what's not to like?

Supernerd did express interest in joining but decided to not join after I feigned not knowing as much about LW as I actually do, to deter him from bringing the wrong type of power fantasy into LW via dumping all 20 points on one hero instead of an entire empire.

Alright, finished up. Hope that'll be good enough. Updated my original post as well, but this reply is for the good ol' thread bump.

THEY COME FROM BEYOND THE STARS

Civilization Name: Yeekyaloid Advanced Front Δ
Theme: Alien Invaders

Spoiler: Day 0: (click to show/hide)

Day 0: -- AFΔ - 865-b 0.1: Inexplicable turbulence upon entry into 865-b caused multiple unforseen collisions leading to heavy damage across the fleet, including Δ. For the time being, Pod-Bred Yeeks will survey the damages and provide supplemental repairs until the brighter few reawaken. Presence of transportation routes, as well as material constructions indicate that the local population bears a higher development index than previously postulated. Potential for being shot down? As of yet unknown. Vanguard force will be deployed immediately.

Home Territory: IMPACT-POINT 865-b

Spoiler: Map Image (click to show/hide)

Other Territories: N/A
Owned Strategic Resources: Plasmic Biomass

Current Troops:
YEEK BEAMULONS -- 2000 (1000 Points)
YEEK MINDZAPPERS -- 500 (375 Points)
PROTO UFOS -- 500 (500 Points)
Heroes: N/A
Supplies: 0 -- Plasmic Biomass

Recruiting this turn:

Spoiler: Troop Designs (click to show/hide)

Yeek Beamulons -- (Project Cost: 5 | Recruitment Value: 0.50) Beamulons are the most basic of the Yeekyaloid Galactic Empire's advanced troops. To put quite simply, they are Yeek clones of limited individualism. Being pod-born, their bodies are lacking in physical training and experience, though they are imbued with the knowledge of their forebears nontheless. Primarily, Beamulons are used en mass at the start of any Advanced Force landing to pacify the local populous, gather data, and otherwise impede nearby powers from interceding before the overseers dig in their position. Beamulons are equipped almost invariably with handheld energy based beam weaponry. They are able to fire at mid range with good accuracy at a quick rate. These weapons take in and transfer the ionic particles in an atmosphere into their ammunition, so resupply is rarely necessary. Aside from that, like most Yeeks, the Beamulons are physically frail, and would not fare the greatest in a frontal battle in melee.

Yeek Mindzappers -- (Project Cost: 5 | Recruitment Value: 0.75) Mindzappers are the lowest rung of the 'pure-blooded' Yeeks, whom are not born of the plasmic vats. These creatures are generally indistinguishable in appearance from the common pod-bred Yeek, however they've a far greater streak of individualism and personal will. So much so, that like all pure Yeeks, the Mindzappers have a rudimentary form of ESP. In their case not only does it allow them to telepathically give orders to the lesser cloned Beamulons, but also to psychically attack the minds of their foes by forcing the neurons in nervous systems to misfire. For the beginning of any Advanced Force operation, Mindzappers act as the leaders of Yeekyaloid forces until the greater of the pure-breds awaken from the longer stasis period required to support their minds.

Proto UFOs -- (Project Cost: 5 | Recruitment Value: 1.00) These small hovering devices can support the bodies of up to three seperate Yeeks at a time, allowing them to soar in low-atmosphere through miniaturized pulse engines that much like the Yeekyaloid beam weaponry require no refueling, provided the atmosphere is properly charged. These UFOs not only allow for small scouting forces to gather data relatively safely or even unseen, but also vastly improve the effectiveness of an assault, putting distance between the frail Yeek bodies and their enemies. Proto UFOs contain a single larger scale ionic rifle that can be manned by one of the pilots, while the rest either navigate or support fire. These devices can also be recalled and act as unmanned drones, though with less effectiveness as a full crew.

Spoiler: Project Information (click to show/hide)

GENETIC BLUEPRINT: BEAMULONS -- Project Cost: 5/5 -- Common genetic blueprint in every Advanced Force cloning pod, allows for the creation of the oft' used Yeek Beamulon for any operation. Since cloning technology was achieved after the unification of the Yeekyaloid homeworld, their society took a drastic change. The Overminds came to the consensus that the only path forward to a true utopia was to extend their reach far beyond the stars.[/b]
GENETIC BLUEPRINT: MINDZAPPERS -- Project Cost: 5/5 -- Another common genetic blueprint, however, the Mindzappers are natural born Yeekyaloids, even if they nearly share the same social status as vat-borns. This does not mean that they cannot rise through society by way of their merits however. Loathe these spindled limbs. Loathe these failing organs
Loathe these short lifespans. The mind is our truest weapon.
MECHANICAL BLUEPRINT: PROTO UFOS -- Project Cost: 5/5 -- Fabricated from stored resources and the remains of the Advance Force ships after their crash landing, the Proto UFOs are designed to speed the Yeeks a proper foothold in this alien place. To gather research on the locals. To determine a plan to conquer. And to do it all soght unseen. "Did you see that just now?"
"See what?"
"There! Those blinkin' lights zooming by!"
"Oh go to bed Harold. . ."
MOTHERSHIP Δ REPAIRS -- Project Cost: 5/20 -- The Mothership, the nerve center of any advanced force operation in their plans to overtake a galaxy, should it be lost, so too will hope for a clean conquering. Genetic and mechanical blueprints both, cloning pods, machining technology fabricators. Everything the force needs to take over a world without pause. Δ sustained heavy damage during entry into this world's atmosphere along eith the rest of the fleet, it will require serious to be utilized on the move for this operation.
