Probability Sheath and Shard Gun was a joke. Silksteel is a good stopping point if you're not willing to alienate Lal and Morgan by going Police State / Green to stack up free-supported Plasma Steel.

Also, fuck the missile launcher - go straight to Superstring Theory and the Chaos Gun for 8 instead of Missiles for 6.

Remember. First priority: Grab as much land as you can.

New update.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Another data pod. Among other things, this one yielded information on how to make lasers.


The engineers immediately began working feverishly on possible weapon designs. Sometimes, my followers can be very scary.


The science team to which I had assigned the task of figuring out how people's minds work has apparently had a breakthrough. They may know how everyone thinks, but even after reading through their findings I still remain mystified as to how my people think. Bunch of deranged fools.


It seems to have excited everyone, at least. Oldbeard (as he calls himself) sent me a picture of his new addition to that eyesore of a Rock.


It's also fired up the scientists no end. Which is nice.


Their newest toy appears to be a giant drilling machine. They assure me it's not.


Other survivors! Ouch, is that a body cast? Looks like Lal's broken a few bones.


You could say that...


I don't see how a new military doctrine could enhance my research, but okay.


Man, those Human Brain scientists developed a way to sense someone's mood from hundreds of kilometres away? Not bad.


Never!


Hm. Time for a vote!

Accept his proposal? Decline and then destroy him for daring to suggest it? Or just leave him alone until we get Planet Busters? The choice is yours.

[Pandarsenic]

Join him.

But man, is he ever gonna be pissed when we go Green Police State for the Support Bonus...

[TheNewerMartianEmperor]

Ally. He's a nice guy, and won't betray you.

[Servant Corps]

Join him.

But man, is he ever gonna be pissed when we go Green Police State for the Support Bonus...

I would be too. Eco-wennies running Oceania would be a terrible sight to see.

Join him.

[Pandarsenic]

Ally. He's a nice guy, and won't betray you.

UNnnnnntil you go Police State.

And Servant Corps, with Green Econ and enough forests and Centauri preserves, you can make it into the endgame with zero ecodamage meaning NO EXPLOSIVE WORM/FUNGUS GROWTH ON TOP OF YOUR BASES.

Until, of course, you start dropping Planet Busters.

[Wimdit]

Ally. He's a nice guy, and won't betray you.

Really? He always seemed erratic to me: hugging me one moment and declaring vendetta the next. Maybe I just had Aggressive AI on and didn't realize it. Or I was using Police State.

[Pandarsenic]

Police state and having ever built a planet buster are the 2 things that'll make him rage.

Okay.


Hurrah! Sea power!


That geneticist I talked about earlier was apparently one of those who went to Oldbeard Rock. Looks like his Recycling Tanks were what Oldbeard was working on for the past decade or so. I hear they wrote a book together as well. They call it 'Ethics for Tomorrow,' and it includes the phrase 'It is every citizen's final duty to go into the Tanks, and become one with all the people.'

...Well, I suppose it's all for the better, even though it's a bit creepy. Can't let any protein go to waste, after all.


And of course, Oldbeard immediately commemorates his achievement.


'But if there can be no arrangement, then we are at an impasse.'
'I'm afraid so.'
Stupid Zones of Control.


I'm not sure about this new project of Oldbeard's. He keeps muttering about 'showing the elves,' whatever that means.


Ack! No more sea power.


Lolwut.


The rover landed next to U.N. Headquarters. Lal wasn't too pleased to see it there, so he teleported it back with his Diplomacy Magic. Oh well. At least I know where it is now.


Speaking of Lal, we somehow know that he's founded a new base. We'll show him. We'll build a bigger one, and it'll be called The Majesty of Colours.



Today a large portion of The Mountainhome's population came to me saying that they had made a breakthrough and demanded that I ratify their proposal for an economic system, insisting that inefficiency (which the system had plenty of) was 'dwarven.' Whatever that means. I acceded despite the cost, just to get them out of my hair.


No sooner had the new base been founded than it came under attack by mind worms. The colonists managed to fight them off, however.


I gave orders for an area in the centre of the alien ruins to be cleared out. Because settling in the middle of a mysterious circle of monoliths built by aliens is always a good idea.


I also ordered that a new form of entertainment be designed for me to enjoy. Because I'm bored.


Developing an intelligence service seems like a good idea as well.


Enter base name
>_

Okay, so I lied when I said The Majesty of Colours would be in the ruins.

[TheNewerMartianEmperor]

So, secret projects/wonders are what happens when a dwarf in a position of power gets a fey mood? What happens when they get a fell mood?

[Wimdit]

Planet Busters. Lots of Planet Busters.

[TheNewerMartianEmperor]

I like the sound of that!

[Pandarsenic]

...

First, there's no U. Colors. http://jayisgames.com/archives/2008/12/the_majesty_of_colors.php

The Majesty of Colors.

Second, it's not nearly as awesome unless I'm in the Ruins. :<

[Nirur Torir]

Planet Buster Factory sounds like a fun city name, even though you can't build them yet. You know we'll make you eventually!
