How I do it trancend the easy way

[d72]

Lets se if i manage my pictures right but anyhow. Start random arid large abundant transcend.

Woot i got the best abundanthunter in the game don't be surprised if some of the ais get knocked out.

 

[d72]

Settled Autum groove and saw Monolith's. Monolith's place will be settled next.

from the first picture i can tell there's the Ridge on the west of Gaia's Landing.
there's a very high chance you can find some fertile land on the west coast of it, so maybe you should expand that way.

Yeah missed that in the beginning. Not the most optimal play but i'm having fun and thats what counts.

Settled Monolith's and Morgan is top dog, I'm guessing he started with jungle. Zarkhov won the free tech (that's the of playing without directed reserch and my faulty exploration, had I seen the ridge bdanv saw I could have won it.) and no contact as of yet.

Spoiler :

A few years later I meet the nicest person. Thankfully I have already completed a 2-1-2 rover and there is peace.

Spoiler :

Still leading in territory mission year 2157 which makes me hopefull for an eventuall win when this spokes me somewhat.

Spoiler :

And I have some luck with the rng.

Spoiler :

Got contact with Santiago from a seapod a few years later and traded for 2 techs and peace. (lost that screen)

I like the walk-though with screenies you're doing.

Thank you. I thought about playing gotms at your place but I have to register grrr for that to happen.

Spoiler :

I have played to 22someting. Not many screens though.

22something and having explored and sucssessfully infiltrated 3 fractions befor4e I completed the green one.(I have the happy the workers and the Zark one the last completed by an alien artifact and some 330 credits just in time, so zark got the moneything.)

Time for me to do some damage to yang. I willl do 3 and then set them free on yangs shore.

Please do. I'm a member at five Civ boards- it's not a big deal. Registering anywhere is a pain, but we're talking about the most active SMAC forum on the web...

 

[bdanv]

five Civ boards? which are the "non-obvious" 2?

 

[Buster's Uncle]

One of them's Super Civ, which hasn't had a post since June...

Darsnan's scenarios are great and we certainly need more feedback on the GotM.. so, you are welcome to join the club!

how's the game going? any updates?

Played from 2208 to 2252. Need to use some autosaves for more screens though.


Resettled Garden of Paradise to make better use of the Garland Crater tiles.

Spoiler :

Morgan asks for my assistance against Yang and offers environmental economics and pact. I turn him down since Yang has airpower and he declares on me.

Spoiler :

War against Morgan goes well. This is the fourth tech I have stolen and next I get his map so I steal his credits instead.

Spoiler :

Gave in to Yang when he demanded 200 credits. I am also waiting for some eco-damage fungus to pop so I can start working on treefarms.

Spoiler :

Traded with Santiago for Bioadaptive Resonance somewhere around here and Yang is arrogantly demanding it the next turn.
Naturally I give it to him since I have zero troops.

Morgan likes to declare so i'm not to sure on his pacifist personality.

Spoiler :

Yang is making progress.

Spoiler :

Another round of withdrawls, or perhaps not so Morgan can buy back Morgan Mines. Need to think this over before I continue.

Spoiler :

And I won planetary govenor a few years back so I need to work on my population to keep my position.

Spoiler :

 

[d72]

Finally got some time to play.

Dire news.

Spoiler :

Gaia's landing is racking up eco-damage I believe it was 22 something.

Spoiler :

Playing with Yang. For this to happen I stole credits since I always get caught when I try to steal tech and frame another fraction. Not that I don't try that sometimes but the reward better be worth it.

Spoiler :

About time I did this.. just forgot about it i guess.

Spoiler :

Crawlers are powerful. Sadly I could do nothing about the hunter-seeker.

Spoiler :

Gaia's Landing. That ship killed a Morgan boat that was destoying my seacrawlers. So Morgan got my 2 crawlers and I have taken 4 techs, one plasma garrison that landed near Velvetgrass Point and one plasma ship near Gaia's Landing and about 800 credits. Who is winning?

Spoiler :

Using the plantary council to further my gains.

Spoiler :

And once again stepping in for the lesser. I did that for Zarkhov vs. Santiago ages ago forgot to mention that though.

Spoiler :

Oh and I have made a 1-4-1 AAA and a 6r-1-2. The 6r got absorbed in a hybrid forest but I'm keeping the AAA and moving it closer to Yang.

Not even close.

Spoiler :

Short round since my mind is elsewhere.

 

[d72]

Lets just say it's cold brr.

A shot of Gaias Landing after double traderoutes came through and enough treefarms and hybrid forests built to eliminate eco-damage for now.

Spoiler :

 

[d72]

Yeah, power providersers are bastarz soemties. Yeah power is shint update coming later.

This is why the beautiful Santiago is such a pushover this game. Hm next if I do one would be Morgan or what do you think?

Spoiler :

 

[d72]

To bad about that power outage. Replayed from my last save today year2263.

Yang got another. Need to put him down soon. Strange drop for him in score or power though any thoughts about what may have caused that?

Spoiler :

Oh I'm slow.

Spoiler :

And we are first to a gamebreaking tech. Seriously copters and the cloudbase academy what were they thinking? Zarkhov got fusion and traded that to Santiago. Not willing to wait for such a powerful tech I framed Yang and stole it from Santiago and managed to get a away with it the round before this one.

Spoiler :

Still planetary govenor. And I lack about 80 votes for a diplomatic victory.

Spoiler :

 

[d72]

Got a funny chatmessage before.

mer städer, mindre under noob!

Translates to: more cities less wonders noob!

Pretty funny I'll try to remedy this in the next segment.

 

[d72]

Usual stuff. Hurry is great but gets kind of hard when you run planned. Payed 66 for this for some owerflow. Hm that screen got lost but the window said about 88 and gaia has 31 minerals that amounts to 62 credits. 5 less would obviosly have done it but hey nobody is perfect.

Current operations.

Spoiler :

hits the fan.

Spoiler :

Needless to say I'm beefing up my military and thinking about some pacts.

Getting ready.

[Buster's Uncle]

Still enjoying the story in pictures. Way to go, man.

Thanks. A war update will have to wait until tomoorow since I have plans let's see how good copters really are.

Any thought's about Yang and how his rating diminished? I did'nt have fusion at that time so that still baffels me.

Come on leave a post you will feel all fussy inside?
