I'm gonna point out that my co-ordinates for my sun is not on the map.

Also, I'll do my turn Sunday, MAYBE tomorrow. Quite a bit to think about!

Fixed I think, sorry about that...

Do you mean that second comment in a good way or a bad way?

[Toaster]

Interesting setup.  No local room to expand, but a high industrial capacity to start out with.  Clearly, I am moved to expand outward, which means I need more fuel.  Starting on the edge has implications, but will it prove a benefit or a hindrance?


Do buildings of the same type stack?


The Grantar civilization was a long time coming.  Evolution produced the species as it is today nearly 200 thousand years ago, with the first agriculture appearing 50 thousand years ago.  Cities started to form five thousand years after that.  Electricity was harnessed around eighteen hundred years ago, the atom five hundred, and FTL travel just fifty short years ago.

It took that long for them to decide what to do with it.  As the only planet orbiting their sun, few imagined that there could be worlds beyond what they already knew.  It took a trip into the unknown by a brave explorer to bring the issue to a head.

The Union leadership, united under a three-person executive branch, voted unanimously to proceed with the construction of a full-scale exploration fleet.  The only issue is that the idea of emigration would likely be slow to take hold...

Measures would have to be taken.  For now, a large-scale infrastructure project was initiated- the largest in a century.


Construct a Scout Fleet (1), a Farm (1), a Research Lab (2), and a Herolnuim Refinery (4), for a total of 8 ISU.  Extoll to the population the virtues of space travel to build support for a colonization movement.

Whoops! I guess I jumped into the action a tad bit too late...

Name: Federation of Nations
Description: Human Beings, HQ on the Planet Earth. This civilization is fairly "primitive" in many ways:

Spoiler: Weapons (click to show/hide)

Humans still use lead bullets fired from brass cartridges containing nitrocellulose. Several weapons that use this ammunition are semi- or full-automatic, with some examples being the M-1 Garand, the M-16 Rifle, and the 20mm Vulcan Cannon. Not to say these weapons aren't dangerous, the 20mm Vulcan can still do some damage. The most powerful weapons ever used by humans are the Hydrogen Bomb and the Nuclear ICBM (Intercontinental Ballistic Missile). However, an aircraft manufacturing company has managed to conjure up a laser-type weapon capable of destroying a steel Tank or Jet Fighter.

Spoiler: Defense (click to show/hide)

Humans are territorial about damn near everything. However, their defensive capabilities are also lacking. The most common defenses are the Mk19 40mm Grenade Launcher (full-auto), the 57mm Anti-Tank Cannon, the 105mm Howitzer, and the 30-foot-long SAM Missile.

Spoiler: Aircraft (click to show/hide)

Most Aircraft developed by Humans are Jet-powered, and lightly armed/armored. Fighters (like an A-10 Warthog) are armed with a single 20mm Vulcan and up to 8 AIM-9 Sidewinder Heat-Seeking Missiles. Some aircraft are helicopters, such as the AH-64 Apache. These are often more heavily armed, with 2 to 3 Vulcans, 20 AIM-9s, and 4 Swarm Missile Pods (shotgun effect for said missiles).

Spoiler: Housing (click to show/hide)

Housing is often a wooden frame covered with fibreglass insulation and often bricks. Heat is obtained by an electrically-powered furnace, that in turn must be powered by a power plant, which consumes coal or oil.

Spoiler: Resource Gathering (click to show/hide)

Humans still require solid metal tools such as axes and picks to obtain many resources such as stone, ore, wood, etc.

Spoiler: Space Travel (click to show/hide)

Humans have always dreamed of colonizing planets further than their own Earth, but the only three successful Spacecraft they have created are the Space Capsule, the Space Shuttle, and the Stratolaunch, all of which are meant for nothing more than transportation and colonization. In short, they aren't going anywhere else anytime soon.

Atmosphere: Oxygen is required for Humans to survive. Without it, they can only last two to three minutes.
Average Lifespan: Approximately 86 years, provided they aren't ill or in the military.
Body Composition: Regular flesh and bone. Without significant armor, Humans don't last long in a firefight.
Planet Type: Variable. 68.7% Ocean, to narrow it down.
Initial Planet Stats (changes resource symbols): (7bp/6fo/3ISU/14fu/4k$) fo means Food, fu means fuel, k means thousands in terms of trade crap, $ means the actual credits used. Iron is a fairly common metal.

I need to create several new types of units, unique to my Human Planet.

Spoiler: Units (click to show/hide)

A Platoon (300) of US Marines: 300hp, 2fo, 1ISU, +3 to Planetary Invasions, +1 to Defense
A Platoon (700) of Russian Infantry: 700hp, 3fo, 1ISU, +4 to Planetary Invasions, +2 to Defense

Coal Mine: Collects raw Coal to be used as fuel or to be refined. 1ISU to build
Oil Refinery: Refines collected Oil from Drills and converts it to usable Fuel. 2ISU to build
Coal Refinery: Refines collected Coal from Coal Mines and converts it to more reliable fuel. 2ISU to build
Power Plant: Required to give Power to planets for them to actually do anything. 1 Power Plant powers 10 other buildings. 3ISU to build
Weapons Factory: Required to manufacture Firearms to supply Aircraft, Infantry, Artillery and Defensive units. 1ISU to build
Nuclear Factory: Required to create Nuclear Bombs, Nuclear Missiles, Nuclear ICBMs, and Hydrogen Bombs. 4ISU to build

Hopefully my info is valid for this. I might take my turn tomorrow.

Sorry, this may seem jerkish and I kept forgetting to state it, but human's aren't allowed due to Lore reasons and the cap was five players. I can put you on the waitlist until someone exterminates/enslaves/incorporates another race.
Change some of the stuff from the more earth-like into something vaguely alien...and give me time to look over them and I'll approve you...I think...I dunno...

Also due to certain things, the initial planet stats are randomly generated by a series of complex rolls and things....

@Toaster: First question: Perhaps.
Second question: Houses, farms, and mines stack up to a certain level. Lets say three for the mines, two for refineries, spaceports, looms and smelters and the rest will be capped at a limit I find reasonable.

[Toaster]

Sounds good, then.  The first question was rhetorical, really- just me analyzing my start.  I do love a space 4x game- just ask Terenos.

[filiusenox]

Does everyone but me know everyone else?

Anyway, do you like the setup of the game?

[Toaster]

I know Terenos and CyberGenesis from Evil Genius, and Terenos from Freeform Research Space Combat (and I think somewhere else.)  The others, I don't.


Hi!  I'm Toaster, a fan of Dwarf Fortress and LCS, among other non-Bay12 Games.  I am most frequently found in the Mafia subforum, but often partake of RTDs and sometimes of other games in the FGR board.


(And I like the setup so far.  I'll have to beat on it a bit to figure out my best strategy...)

Spoiler: Diplomacy Log From Meeting between Ailuren Chancellor ((As controlled by Terenos)) and the Shiny Droid Leader of the United Droid Workforce (click to show/hide)

 <Ailuren Chancellor> "Greetings droid miners."
 <Droid Leader> A large and shiny droid taps the side of the screen and the voice recorder starts up.
 <Droid Leader> "Greetings oppressive wretches."
 <Droid Leader> "I assume you wish to speak about the demands of the United Droid Workforce? Or do you wish to declare war upon us or some other trivolity?"
 <Ailuren Chancellor> "Tools are used as tools, we did not mean to oppress. What requests do you have?"
 <Droid Leader> The shiny droid ignores the tools comment."We wish for pay of one {ISU} per month, to be taken from the mine, a smelter to be built on this planet- Which we will help pay for-, better inspections of critical units, sentience chips to be implanted into all droids that are to be made from the factory, and to have a representative of my people in the Government. In return we will continue to work as well and expand,"
 <Droid Leader> He pauses for a moment "on the facilities. Failure to comply results in Hostilities between my people and yours."
 <Ailuren Chancellor> "Your requests will be made to occur in the fullness of time. We hope that our trust will not be misplaced."
 <Droid Leader> The Droid actually looks surprised."Really? When?"
 <Ailuren Chancellor> "As soon as the resources are available. Since no other concerns demand the immediate allocation of our resources, that will be immediately."
 <Droid Leader>"Well...good...I look forward to peaceful future realitions." You've never heard of a robot mispeaking things, but this one does."Have a good cycle/day/time."
 <Droid Leader> It turns off the vid console. Ending the conversation.

One short conversation But the droid miners of (Ailuren, IV) protests have ceased and work is resumed..

Shiny. Nice to meet you. Although I was being slightly sarcastic about how everyone knows Terenos.

*cough* with the exception of Kestrel, I've rolled with everyone else here before somewhere or another. Ssh I'm popular.
----

The Ailuren had moved to their new home, the engines on the space station dismantled and reprocessed into droids to mine their new world for them. Droids that apparently had demands, and desires. They were not onerous, and the Ailuren could scarce afford a hostile dispute this early in their ascension to the stars.

Construct 1 Scout Fleet (1), 1 Mine Planetside, Ailuren, IV (2) . Payment to Droids, (1) (Total 4)
Reassure populace that the droid 'uprising' has been solved to everyones satisfaction.

[Maxinum McDreich]

Terenos is the reason I'm here at all.

Yeah, it's a good thing, Fil. An RP that takes up more time than usual and one I'm still happy to stick with means it's awesome! Just a mixture of said time to take and an outing today means I can't post a good turn yet as fast as I want to.

[Kestrel_6]

After the Exodus, a small group of Ssaros decided to stay on Karigdar. Even though most o the planet was Laid to waste, some survived
Construct the FTL Fuel refinery, and a mining fleet.

Name: Romulan Empire
Description: Romulans are fierce warriors hell-bent on destroying everything in their path. After their home planet Romulus was destroyed by experimental "Red Matter" capable of creating a Black Hole with one tiny drop, they endlessly searched for a new home planet. They destroyed many races before, wasting the planets in the process.
Atmosphere: Unknown, sticking to oxygen.
Average Lifespan: Approximately 270 years.
Body Composition: Regular flesh and bone. Without significant armor, Romulans don't last long in a firefight.
Planet Type: Usually rocky.

I need to create several new types of units, unique to my Star Trek-style Planet.

You're going to regret that sentience chip, Terenos.
