So, some stuff might or might not have happened back home, our solution to which might or might not have been to get the hell out, which might or might not have run into technical difficulties, splintering crews, and generally poor planning. The important thing is that we're now hurtling towards a brand new planet's surface in a drop pod and will soon have it all to ourselves, ignoring those six other lunatics with just as many followers and power as us.

I'm sure it'll be fine.







So, I'm sure most of you know the drill. We'll need a faction (which can of course be custom named) and various settings, mostly difficulty. I tend to prefer completely random worlds and aren't nearly as experienced as I'd like to be, but that's part of the Fun.

In addition to suggesting general strategies and such, I'm thinking players can volunteer to take control of individual bases, which will then operate more or less how they dictate, needs of the greater faction permitting. Taking control of military units could function similarly, except there's only so much macromanaging to be done with those, and they can't be renamed. Higher theoretical positions could also be claimed, but probably wouldn't do anything. I'm open to suggestions on anything.

[Simmura McCrea]

I vote Hive as a matter of course.

[Taricus]

University, for who doesn't like mad SCIENCE?

[FuzzyZergling]

Look at my avatar.
Is there any way I couldn't vote Hive?

[Bdthemag]

University, for who doesn't like mad SCIENCE?

What he said, the Hive always screws me over every time I don't play them :/

[Un67]

Nonono, play Morgan for the FUN.

[Bdthemag]

Nonono, play Morgan for the FUN.

Pfffft, to easy.

[Nirur Torir]

Peacekeepers, with the goal of uniting humanity by forcing everyone who doesn't agree with us to surrender as vassal states. Because.

Fauna should be as abundant as possible, of course.

[Frumple]

Franken Fran avatar on LP starter demands either SCIENCE or whichever side Irony can get to run worms the hardest. Just sayin'.

[breadbocks]

Tots Hive.

Also, spend all your cash on getting every secret project. Buy out a city that built it if you must.

[Tarran]

I've never played any other faction before, so... university.

Make it a very large map (this is many years into the future. Computers have become able to take much, much more, so why not?). 50 or so % land. Erosion on medium. Fauna... I would usually pick middle, but because this is an LP, I say go with max.

Well, it's a decidedly different experience with different sizes. Each base and unit and such becomes more or less significant, depending on which way you go. You run into other factions a lot earlier or later as well.

Anyway, at the moment the votes seem to be thus:

University: 4 (Taricus, Bdthemag, Frumple, Tarran)
Hive: 3 (Simmura McCrea, FuzzyZergling, breadbocks)
Peacekeepers: 1 (Nirur)
Morgan: 1 (Un67)
Worms: 1 (Frumple)

Max Fauna: 2 (Nirur, Tarran)

Everything else is unspoken of or nearly so.

[Tarran]

Also, I call dibs on the first rainy coast-near-mountain/steep hill city.

[Phantom]

I'm gonna drop in and say University and Max Fauna.


KILL THE WORLD WITH PROGRESS.

[Patchy]

Hmm, Uni and Morgan are both great factions, but Hive is a fun round too. I'll throw my vote in with The Hive, just because I don't see them used as often.
