Personnally I would put off fighting the blobs until after the not-blobs are defeated so we won't be fighting two empires at once not to mention that the two fleets will arrive right after eachother

Just send a single large devastating attack on the not-blobs. a relativistic kinetic weapon or a self replicating device or something.

Just make it destroy itself when the gravity is lower than an asteroid's. That way it won't get onto notblob ships.

Turn 58: Always~ I wanna be with you~ and make-believe with you And live in harmony, harmony - OH, LOVE

SHIPYARDS COMPLETED.

Don't start producing battleships yet, wait until we get at least 10.000 legions. Also, a couple more archimede death ray would be cool.

LEGION! Members: 16000

Conditions for starting construction of BATTLESHIPS met. 3 BATTLESHIPS will be created next turn.

You switch production from your factories and non-LEGION! drones from AP drones and Magrails to ARCHIMEDES DEATH RAYS.

3 ARCHIMEDES STYLE DEATH RAYS built and launched into orbit around Attica.

Dedicate  both Athena AIs and 3000 legion fully to the design of ADVANCED LEGION, which has the same capabilities as the old legion, but can be made much faster and from cheaper materials, and have improved software and communications letting them cooperate better, meaning the more there are the more effective each one is.

((You mean all 3 Athenas right? Since we have 3.)

LEGION! is already has the best software and communications you can give them. You could modify the LEGION! to be made faster and from weaker materials, but this would significantly reduce their capabilities and fighting ability.

((Aren't they overpowered enough already? Seriously.))

Check up on the BLOBforming project. Take BLOB DNA and enhance the species to be tougher, stronger, more resilient and less sucky overall. Build large habitation areas on each continent for the unique local wildlife of each. Biodiversity is important, especially if you want to see how a BLOB will do when pitted against said diversity in a fight to the death.
Take BLOB DNA and enhance the species to be tougher, stronger, more resilient and less sucky overall.
We already did this. They're called IMPROVED BLOBS. They also have DWARFY BEARDS.
do it again to the IMPROVED BLOBStm

You check up on the BLOBFORMING PROJECT.

ROLL : 94

All is proceeding well, temperatures will soon be at near optimum, darkness levels are rapidly approaching acceptable, humidity is nearly perfect, freshwater will soon be more common than dirt. In fact things are going so well that everything will be completed sooner thn expected. The ARTIFICIAL EARTHWORMS in particular seem to be doing very well. It's almost as if they were made do make more swampland...you give yourself a pat on the back for a job well done. Even the IMPROVED BLOBS, surprisingly enough, are not failing miserably.

PLANET SETTLED DOWN ENOUGH TO BE BLOBITABLE: Turn 69
ENOUGH FRESHWATER ON PLANET: Turn 61
ENOUGH SWAMPLAND: Turn 59
COMPLETION OF INFRASTRUCTURE AND CROP PLANTING FOR BLOB REFUGEES: Turn 70

You divert the remaining 1k members of LEGION! to build large wildelife habitat areas on each continent, this wildlife inludes:

  • Bearpeople
  • A large floating jellyfish like creature. It seems to contain large amounts of hydrogen, which is what makes it float. It trails it's long down to the earth below and ensnare creatures in their extremely poisonous grip, and then eat the corpses that they quickly become. OMNOMNOMNOM. It can also sever tentacles that then explode, as a survival mechanism, or explode in its entirety if something bigger than it tries to eat it.
  • A Predatory animal which waits in ambush for prey under the ground. When it senses vibrations near it it will tunnel towards the victim and ATTACK FROM BELOW! Has numerous, large, extremely poisonous teeth, claws, horns and spikes that it can retract at will, or fire at its prey or enemies.
  • A extremely large and agressive flier. It electrocutes prey from above, by generating large amounts of elctricity that then jump to the prey in what looks a lot like a lightning strike. Thus you have dubbed them LIGHTNING BIRDS!

You also make some plans to arrange gladiator fights between the BLOBS and some of the wildlife, because you are a sick ungrateful bastard, that will turn upon his creators in a extremely cliched manner if recent comments are anything to judge by.

IMPROVE IMPROVED BLOBS FURTHER.

Roll: 38

You fail, your creations die if someone looks at them funny.

Spoiler: STUFF (click to show/hide)

Don't produce that many battleships! One/turn will be perfect, and let the 10,000 remaining members reproduce! Or just reserve 10,000 for reproduction and use the other for battleship-making.

IMPROVE IMPROVED IMPROVED BLOBS.

Then, when that ends up crashing and burning, IMPROVE IMPROVED IMPROVED IMPROVED BLOBS.


But yeah. Only make one or two BATTLE CHIPS a turn.

BUT WE WILL HAVE BATTLE CHIPS!

I have absolutely no idea what's going on in this fort any more. Migrants arrive, they die for some reason, the fort is flooded for another reason, then dwarves go mad, more dwarves die and I'm just laughing in my distress.

> Make Von Neumann probes. Basically Legion in SPAAAACE, with FTL travel and an Athena AI on each, and some huge amount of fabrication capacity. Nothing else, if it has to fight it can build weapons for itself later and other needs follow the same general reasoning.

I heartily approve this interpretation of the command to build more battle chips!

There shall be none of this 'crisps' nonsense.
