[Story] Starting a new Apollo game as Russia; gonna try to dominate the orbital layer

[s0nny80y]

Made contact with Al Falah, Ard is the mysterious sponsor West of Khrabrost.

 

[s0nny80y]

Ecology finished earlier than my gunboat due to science yield bonuses from artifacts.

 

[s0nny80y]

KP's Saira is dangerously close to Khrabrost and they have a leg up on the Eastern ocean. With two colonists, I hope to pause her expansion into my orbital layer.

 

[s0nny80y]

With Ecology finished, onwards to research Engineering for rovers that can take over the land masses.

 

[s0nny80y]

Gonna try to take over the South Pole I think.

 

[s0nny80y]

Outpost Stanimir founded near Khrabrost.

 

[s0nny80y]

Establishing agreement with Al Falah who is West of Khrabrost.

 

[s0nny80y]

Thinking of founding an outpost opposite of Saira on the Western shore close to Mandira.

 

[s0nny80y]

Prioritizing my two explorers to explore KP's claims.

 

[s0nny80y]

Stet Mining founded near Khrabrost's Western frontier.

 

[s0nny80y]

KP expanding again, will track them with an explorer.

 

[s0nny80y]

Built my first Gunboat and sent it into the lake to eliminate the alien threat in proximity to the capital.

Now building an ultrasonic fence; will save up to buy a trade convoy towards Stet Mining.

 

[s0nny80y]

Bumped into Le Coeur's explorer near Mandira. France seems to be the mysterious sponsor East of Khrabrost.

 

[s0nny80y]

I really want those flood plains by the river systems on the land mass South of Stanimir.

 

[s0nny80y]

Shifted production from ultrasonic fence to trade convoy; fence will come next hopefully.

 

[s0nny80y]

Performing an expedition on a progenitor ruin near Mandira. Expecting to lose points with KP after expedition is completed.

 

[s0nny80y]

Between a free worker or a ten percent increase in constructing buildings, I think I will open up the industry tree.

 

[s0nny80y]

Sent my flagship gunboat to scout the waters between Khrabrost and Stet Mining and the gunboat is getting swamped by aliens. I fear I may lose the crew...

 

[s0nny80y]

So I lost my first gunboat. Fortunately, another mysterious sponsor has landed extremely close to Al Falah's capital of Ard. Hopefully that will preoccupy them.

 

[s0nny80y]

Trade vessel created but I lost my gunboat to aliens. Eight turns until the ultrasonic fence is created. If I establish a trade route now, it looks like it will traverse over land to Stet Mining. However, I have no defense against the land aliens near my base. Gonna purchase another soldier to help defend the land route. Cost is 270; I have 269 atm.
