Really? looks like a 3-way tie to me.

[Cheddarius]

Graaaaaaaaaah

Well, now Option 1 is winning.
But I'm fine with that; it will merely mean that I will have to put "tentative" after all my plans until I finalize them.

Turn here, sorry no rp for my team today

Spoiler: moves (click to show/hide)

orders: Move both survey teams and the to E16

Research: Colony Limits 2

32 Industry, can create 1/2/0/1 units for how much?, pls pm me, il make as many as i can

[techno65535]

move both survey teams and <blank> to E16

What else are you sending?

GRAAWRRR!

I failed to move your city on the map. It is really here, at D5. The red army is in its city.

Please proofread your turns. You failed to mention that you're moving your colonist.
A 1/2/0/1 unit has a cost of 5 IP for you.

Also, a tip on the numbering of the rows, change it so that each letter covers 2 of the rows as you have it set now. As it is, each 'row' is only numbered either even or odd. Instead have it so that both rows 'A' and 'B' are row A, 'C' and 'D' are row B etc. should make looking at the map and figuring out the coordinates of something a bit easier. Just my 2 bits.

I feel that that would be even more confusing. The first post has an illustration, by Cheddarius, with the coordinates on each hex.

[Cheddarius]

He's clearly moving the "HMS To-E16", his pet name for his colony.

Can we get the formulas for oversize/overtech? It's been a while.

How do size caps work when upgrading colonists? A normal colonist is 5 points, which requires a level 2 size cap. So does that mean that when creating a colonist, having a size cap that is 1 is the same as a size cap 2? So if I were to give the colonist, for example, 3 more Armor (assuming, of course, that I have the Armor 6 tech), which would keep it at size 2, would the cost be ((8-8)+(18-15))=3?

[Cheddarius]

Haha, I just remembered that I'm supposed to have shot, oh, about half the people here. Ah, well. It's the first few turns, it doesn't matter so much now.

But format your turns correctly from now on, guys! It's getting more complicated!

I already gave them a while back, unless you're trying to get me to hurry up on the spreadsheet formula.

Base Colonists are a special unit. They are that size purely because I want them to be harder to transport. If you want a modified colonist, you need the technology to have tinkered with the self-replicating design on the factories enough to do so. Beyond that, any _new unit can be given the colonizer ability for 10 IP, if it has at least 3 armor.

[Cheddarius]

Ah, I see.

Huh? What do you mean? What technology is that? What tinkering?

[Neyvn]

What is the best way to colonize an area, is it more profitable to spread out or placing a city in the next tile just as useful.?

[RAM]

with starting technology a coloniser would cost 0+6+0+2+10=18 18/4=4.5 4^4.5=512 With 3 armour technology and 4 size limit technology it would cost 0+3+0+2+10=15. So the coloniser design can be properly understood by someone with 3 armour and 4 size limit technologies, less than that and you are dealing with bizarre concepts that you cannot adapt to other uses.

I 'think' that only 1 city can benefit from any one hex, so try to avoid overlap. Capturing an advanced site and fortifying it makes it difficult for people to move past, which could secure multiple city sites before you can exploit them. But the maps are fairly small and open, so I wouldn't rely upon that...

Wolfchild, you have to provide where your forces will be at the end of the turn, and your remaining industry and research, and what researches you will have at the end of the turn.
See the first post if you have trouble. The format is there.

[wolfchild]

Fixed

[Neyvn]

Can I have a Clear Guide on how to build a unit....

Say I want a Defense Turret,
A/B/C/D
A = Weapons
B = Armour
C = Shields
D = Engines

Right??? IF so then what does it mean if I put 2/3/0/0... Would I have the correct Research and how much would it cost...
