That seems a little better. Also, do you have the ability to update the map?

[omagaalpha]

Since I don't have blank map it will take day or two too do it since I need edit out all text from hex to create blank map too use. Which I will use ether photoshop or illuster to do it in so that be lot easyer change text around.

Though other need do is.
-update species lists for forum display
-create colony list for forum display
-work on create map for turn 4
-Long term :create system for events

Edit: Oh yea I need write up the rules for what I learned for game in organize fashion.

Update on Species Trait list is here:

Spoiler: Monoliths - OmagaAlpha (click to show/hide)

Monoliths are of sizes in the ratio of 1:4:9. Monoliths are a minimum size of 11 ft long but will grow to any size need that necessary do their job*. They can take sunlight to convert into food as they need. They hover or float to move*. Also, by touch and psychic means they can communicate with other creature.

They can transform land as time goes on to improve it. Should note other creature choose become one with it.

*GM Notes: I have had to add a few limitations for game balance to this species.  I will allow Monoliths to grow to any size to do their job, but energy costs are consummate with the increased size.  In effect, a monolith 100 times larger than the 11ft version can do the work of (and consumes the same energy as) a hundred little monoliths.  Similarly floating/hovering is assumed to take place at somewhere just above ground level, on solid ground only.  Flying higher than ground level or floating over water will likely require EP investment.  I have given the Food bonus to Grey Hexes because of the lack of foliage in these areas - they have an advantage in terms of gaining additional sunlight.

Spoiler: Xenopross - Webadict (click to show/hide)

The Xenopross are a race of hairless (excluding the tail), hard-skinned, egg-laying, mammalian quadrupeds that prefer to live near water and have learned to live as such. They have 2 fingers and an imposable thumb on each limb. Their head is not unlike a dog. Though they walk on four legs, they have been known to stand on their hind legs and maneuver, though it is very impractical. They groom their tails in certain fashions to determine status. For some unknown reason, Xenopross possess the ability to speak any spoken language of any race. However, this has led to a rather egotistical view of their own race. They tend to cause many conflicts with other races and tend to resolve these disputes through manipulation, lying, and usurping or corrupting the race, and any alliances they form are just as easily broken. They tend to recognize intentions of other creatures. They possess a relatively simple goal in life: To conquer lands through diplomacy and backstabbing, and various other non-military methods. Though others know of their deceitful ways, they are enticed and hypnotized by the Xenopross' voice.

I redistributed Control into Speak and turned Recognise Intent and Lying into T1 traits for a few reasons.  First, multiple T2 traits on the same tier overlap rather than stacking (unless this was your intent).  Second, Manipulate (a T1 trait with 4 points) was supporting 4 points' worth of T2 traits when it could only support 2.  Third, Perception and Stealth don't need T2 traits yet because they don't even have T1 traits for them.  No need to limit your options just yet.

Spoiler: Bhuur - Gantolandon (click to show/hide)

Bhuur are a species of omnivorous lizards adapted to inhabit caves. Their three-quarter meter tall bodies are covered with white, scaly hide. Their eyes are atrophic and barely functioning, but echolocation and acute touch let them function without sight. Their advanced digestive tracts let them feed on almost every organic matter known - meat, plants, bone, guano and many simple hydrocarbons and their derivatives. They can resort to cannibalism if it's necessary.

Tough call on whether to give these guys Grey Hex bonuses or Green Hex.  I went with Grey Hex because of their cave adaptation - getting the most out of organic matter is more important in a low-nutrient environment, whereas the bounty of a Green Hex environment would nullify their food bonuses.

Spoiler: Jottarian - Shikogan (click to show/hide)

Description: The Jottarians are a race of short haired primates, that have two sets of arms that move independently of each other, and a long tail of approximately 5 feet in length. They have built their habitats in tall trees with huts surrounding the trunks of the treees and a complex connection of rope bridges between them. Within their stomachs exist a parasite in which they share a symbiotic relationship with. The parasites use their acids to digest any matter that the Jottarians swallow and they take only a small portion of the nutrients that are gained. The stomach and intestines of the Jottarians have evolved to resist the strong acids of the parasite and are able to absorb 75% more nutirents than the average being.

The Jottarians communicate through a series of complex sounds that are the begginings of language. Living in the isolated forests to the west of the mountain ranges they have had no need of a military and any predators that they have encountered they fled into the tree tops. recently the use of a long sharp stick to gather fruit from height without climbing, it has also been used for hunting.

Spoiler: Serani - Andrea (click to show/hide)

Description: The Serani are an omnivorous race of thin and short intelligent man-like creatures with long hair and beards and grey skin. They live in small villages of huts built with branches and leaves, built around a fire that they keep lit all the day and night.  They can communicate with a simple language with few words and they are usually friendly and never rush to do things.
They became a sentient race not much time ago; they are already very religious.  They haven't found a deity yet, but they believe that there are beings more powerful than any member of one of the many races of this world.

Spoiler: Golem - Poltifar (click to show/hide)

Description: The Golems are a race of sentient magic-powered statues that can be made of almost any material imaginable. Their creator is not known and even if it was these free-spirited Golems would never openly accept to acknowledge anyone of a different species as their 'master'. Golems do not eat, drink, or sleep, and do not reproduce as other creatures. Instead, they require daily maintainance and materials to power there magical metabolisms, and increase their numbers by building more of themselves. Golem society is normally divided into the lower, worker golems and the much more important Noble golems. These different social levels are determined almost solely by the material and shape of a certain golems, so deformed brass golems would be considered much inferior to wonderfully sculpted jewel-encrusted gold golems. Golems also appreciate art and knowledge, especially magical knowledge, but are somewhat lacking in good military structure, as they have never had to defend themselves from hostilities. Golems prefer to live in mountains and deserts, so that they are close to the materials (stone, ore, and sand for glass) they normally consume and use to build more of their kind, as well as use to build there architecture. Finally, golems are normally humanoidal in shape and about 2 meters high and made of metal or stone, but they can be built in any imaginable shape and size and almost any material if they are needed for specific tasks.

What about the number of units we now have? I didn't see a formula for increases...

[omagaalpha]

What about the number of units we now have? I didn't see a formula for increases...

That because itiuem never post how he did units . All I can say is for simplicity and time saving he had always seem equal it to max cap. I will not be doing that when I figure it out.

Formula1 Gen5=CSphere:Generation/5
Formula2 (current pop)*Rounddown(Gen5, to 0 decimal)= Csphere cap
Formula2  does not apply for Pop units

Species
First time you gain level 1 trait in Csphere all colony get equal to max cap of Csphere.
After that it units increase by according to Formula 1 amount each time.

BTW I actual in excel sheet for beginng turn 4, I have units amount updated. Which hopeful by tomorrow morning I can complete list all colonies status.

[omagaalpha]

Here is the colony list.

It looks a little like my one group grew really fast.

What about the number of units we now have? I didn't see a formula for increases...

Formula1 Gen5=CSphere:Generation/5
Formula2 (current pop)*Rounddown(Gen5, to 0 decimal)= Csphere cap
Formula2  does not apply for Pop units

I don't think he purposely set it to the cap. I think it went something like
I think that you gain:
Population = Current Population + 1 + RoundDown(Generation / 5) (up to max capacity)

As for all other things, I think Iituem redid those equations on the 2nd turn. It's kinda hard to tell, but I think that

Sphere = Current Sphere Pop + RoundDown(Sphere Generation / 5) (up to current pop)

I think this is done at the end of the turn and that negatives apply before positives.

Species
First time you gain level 1 trait in Csphere all colony get equal to max cap of Csphere.
After that it units increase by according to Formula 1 amount each time.

But, the Generation Trait doesn't determine the Max Pop of a hex. I'm just kinda confused how this works.

The Max Population is determined by the Food Trait, whereas the Generation Trait determines the population generated per turn.

Ok that make more sense(2nd one) I will has guess I has to redo colony pop .

But, the Generation Trait doesn't determine the Max Pop of a hex. I'm just kinda confused how this works.

The Max Population is determined by the Food Trait, whereas the Generation Trait determines the population generated per turn.

That actual exception is pop sphere .

To be more acurate  Max Population= (Food Trait)/5 + Land Food value + (acculate adjustment by action)

Also for difficult of land with except for 3 I saw in spreadsheet which I could not gather how they are determine so just kind try make ones up for rest of them, Do you have any idea how  he figure them out?

[webadict]

I think the values you came up with work with that. Except for certain races having a harder time settling on their own tile style. I don't like that part, it should be fixed for that...

[omagaalpha]

What if race can use there tile to advantahe in researching to have stronger trait in pop sphere?

Or maybe give each race the tile start on ( one type) no penalty on colonize that type?

[webadict]

What gaining a bonus to colonize on their best hex? That might work.

[omagaalpha]

Best Hex?
I am talk about when itieum place species them on map on turn ~0, the hex terrian type they start out on as the best hex.

Edit update the Specis colony list with the adjusment to the formula.

[neo1096]

No worth mentioning Gain

Just a small grammar correction, but you would say "No gain worth mentioning" similarly "No loss worth mentioning"
Not a complaint.

[omagaalpha]

Neo thank you for reply, and I went back and correct them .
ok anyway good news , here link turn 4 map.

turn 4 map

All I need to do is come up with events for turn 4 to begin. Most like you see event about tiles changing since Greys don't have as many tiles as Green.

[webadict]

It's hard to see some of my values. Otherwise, it's okay.
