Succession Game Anyone?

I might join "unofficially" (my "game" comp is still down).

When my computer gets fixed or replaced, I might be able to fully join, but for now I can only watch. Just letting you know I'm interested :)

(P.S. I'm not too great at it either ;) )

Well, we're only playing on thinker so you shouldn't have any problems. And yes, this is the original with the 4.0 Patch.

i 'doctored' my win, large map, mega-multiple crawlers etc etc, anyway

not much to report yet and much can be vetoed however

2153 Miriam starts the Weather Paradigm
2154 Nessun Shining formed
2155 Gene Splicing started
2157 Gene Splicing traded from the University, can't remember which tech I chose now but it was a green one, level 4

Mostly went for the Scout Patrol / Former / Recycling Tanks or Colony Pod route at this early stage

Formers were on linking cities / foresting duty
Mind worms were patrolling the fungi looking for more mind-worms, they have been upgraded by monoliths

I hope my methods are not too bad for the game, for one thing I must admit I'm not used to the technology tree so my decisions there may leave a little to be desired, I normally use blind research and secondly I tend to be a forester which may not be the best early on but pays dividends later and anything that can't be forested I tend to mine and put a crawler on (not necessarily from the same city), I'm interested to see other peoples techniques here

There are 2 colony pods out there, i think the northern one is ok to settle, we have room for more cities

There will be enougn money to rush both wonders during the next turns

Zakharov is submissive :confused:

Save
 
And, my turns:

MY 2161: Citizen Yuri is rudley awakened by the incessent jabbing of a fellow Gaian. It seems that Cuivienen will will be busy with some kind of vacation, too groggy to notice any of the details. Point being: He is onece more in charge of the Faction. "Fallow Time" is founded is fouded before he's even had his morning coffee.

MY 2162: Word is recieved that Lal has begun work on forming some kind of "Cammand Nexus", odd because we as of yet have not met him. Fallow Time completes a scout patroll and moves on to produce a former. You can never have too many formers. The base "Virgin soil" is also founded.

MY 2163: Virgin soil completes a scout patroll, begins work on formers.

MY 2164: Yuri beats the old High score for "Pacman" on the Datalinks. In other words, nothing happens.

MY 2165: "Children of the Earth" completes their recycling tanks, moves on to a colony pod.

MY 2166: Resplendant Oak finished a Colony Pod. A Laser Skimship is planned for construction to explore the seas, and make up for our horrible lack of naval units.

MY 2167: Secret Project codenamed: "The Weather Pradagim" is finaly completed, the first secret project even built since planetfall. The base moves on to begin yet annother covert project, codename "Merchant Exchange" (Feel free to switch to something else if you don't like it)

2168: Not to be outdone, Zakharov commisions a secret project of his own. All we know of it, is that it's been dubbed "The Virtual World". In other news, resplendant Pines finishes a recycling Tank and begins work on a network node.

2169: Virgin Soil completes former, moves on to Recycling Tanks.

2170: Children of the Earth completes a Colony Pod, begins Network Node. Lucky Autumn finishes Recycling tanks and begins a second Laser Skimship. The base known as "Dreams of Green" is founded.

After doing all of this, Yuri kicks back once more and tries to forget that he's living on such a dangerous world.

Overall, our terraformers have just been planting forrests, and farm/solar-ing tiles with an elevation of over 1000m. Oh, and building roads, lots of roads.

Here's the save:
 
hello to you,
I am new to 'smac' as it is known here but i am no stranger to civilization.
if there are still places available for this game please let me know, as i would like the chance to act as the leader of this faction for ten years.
 
Sure, go right ahead. In fact, you could take the game right now, as I can't seem to find my SMAC CD anywhere. It'll turn up eventually, but I don't want to hold this up.
 
i have just downloaded save, forgot to check back, but now i will check regulary. post the new same in a hour prob.
Also just started a civ 3 SG with no Mods (addons) i got
requires conquests and the newest patch.

Sorry for spreading proaganda here but hey.
 
well its been an eventfull term in office, and im a bit disapointed by the way it ended but i hope that next leader of gaia will lead her through a hopeful not to tough time.

2170-come to power, just settled into the office not much happened.

2171- Blackroot builds colony ship, decided to want to build a sea colony ship

2172- uneventful, decided to build a new weapon, the penwa mobile. The machine is a rover with armour.

2173- Lal begins 'Virtual world'. Ecological enginering discovered.

2174-first ever navy ship of gaia built heads on its first voyage.
-Discover Colonel santiage is it)

2175- Lal Comm Freq Found.

2176- Discovered Large Sea fungus, named it tiberium fungus, located near lucky autumn. Ceo Morgan begins human Genome project.

2177- Spartans Offered Contact with yang, declined as they wanted credits. gave me gene splicing for Doctrine. Riots started, Believe i have stopped it but at a price (no didn't use nerve gas). Founded Atlantis.

2178- Lal beats us to merchant exchange switched to command nexus. build new base lilly of the vally.

2179- decided we were going to have -20% growth in exchange for green enviourment. given higher Construction speeds and something else. (econmics)

2180- sadend to say lal threatend me and not taking kindly to threats i told him to stick his you know what where. thus begins a war with the 'peacekeepers'. if the war had begun at the begining of my term i would have had no problem but the sad fact is i started a war that i can not aid in.
 
oh by the way i have just this moment become aware of your previous intentions (and did not notice that the wonders were a priority for you all). i have always used built wonders as they come about naturally and spend money on military.
well the best defence is a good offence. once my defences are ready they i begin the social improvments. i understand if you guys are angry at me about that but hey who doesn't get angry at a politians now and then?
 
From the almighty pen of the penwarians

Is any body going to continue this SG?
 
Got it will play it.

Edit: Did play it, edited this post to include my turn only to realise that didn't bump up the thread, so my turn is now posted below.
 
2181- Due to the War with the Peacekeepers, military genius Strategos is called out of retirement to command the combined forces of the Gaians. To support the war effort, Martial Law is declared. In a memo released earlier today, the Office of Strategos (OOS) stated, "It is necessary for the security of our land to empose a police state on our people. I am confident that our present hardships will make our future liberties all the more sweet."

2182- An OOS representative announced today that a Believer naval vessel was discovered opperating to the north of our shores. However, there is no danger, as a mutually benificial tech exchange program was set up resulting in the discovery of High Energy Chemisty, Industrial Economics, and a Map of Believer territory. A Treaty of Friendship was also signed.

2183- Spys reported the Peacekeepers were close to completing the Command Nexus. The OOS reportedly stated that the Gaian control of the Command Nexus was critical to the security of the state, and so authorized it to be rushed built. At the dedication ceremony of the opening of the Gaian Command Nexus Strategos was reported as saying "Taste it Lal" upon which he promptly dropped his pants and mooned the camera. In other news, the secret project "Virtual World" was changed into the Citizen Defense Force.

2185- Fulfilling his promise to expand the Gaian military, Strategos oversaw the founding of the first Psi Corp on planet. "There's more where these came from" Strategos promised, "Planet herself will help us defeat those eco-damaging, (censored) Peacekeepers."

2190- Citizen Defense Force was reportedly rushed built today, prompting the OOS to issue a memo which proclaimed that this marked "The ability for parents to sleep tonight knowing that their children are safe from the Peacekeeping cannibals" In other news, we continued our benifical association with our great friends at the University by gaining Synthetic fossil fuels and Polymorphic Software.

2191- The OOS announced today the founding of the sea colony OOS Maritime Department. "This base is critical to the defense of the Motherland." a OOS spokesman said, "As long as Gaian forces hold this base, the barbaric Peacekeepers will be unable to launch a sea-born assult from our northern flank."

2193- A national holiday was declared today to commemorate the first Gaian victory on Planet. The skipper of Gaian vessel Nike sank a Peacekeeper transport. The transport was carrying troops reportedly destined for the Gaian mainland. The transport and all aboard were lost.

2199- The Strategos has announced today his resignation from his leadership post. He is reportedly enlisting as a private in the Gaian Expeditionary Army enroute to an undisclosed landing site near Peackeeper cities. In his last address to the nation, the Strategos promised to return "either with Lal's head or without my own."


Well that's it, we have a pretty good mind worm army, all cities are now in production of tree farms, so we can have more minerals to boom an army. Airpower is being researched now, by the time it's ready we'll have the tree farms so we can bomb Lal to death. University promised to trade tech's once they finished the Maritime wonder, once you see that's done, see what kind of tech's he has up his sleeve. We don't have that big of a tech lead over Lal so mind worms and airplanes should be our best bet. Don't automate the formers, I found them building farms in the middle of nowhere, instead just use them to throw down forests and roads. That's about it, just use the army i built up wisely and have fun ;)

Edit: Well the Save Game file may be helpful for you to have
 
well thats funny, how people just sort of disapear half way through playing the sucession game
 
Waking up once again after an automatic timer hit 00:00, Yuri finds his fellow leaders mysteriously absent and takes command.

2200: Season finaly of "Survivor: Monsoon Jungle" draws record ratings, but nothing else happens.

2201: The first Gian forces land on Peacekeeper soil.

2202: After a quick battle, Mindworms overrun UN Health Authority.

2203: The second invasion wave leaves home.
-Yang demands that we join he in a war against the Believers, and is politley turned away. Unfortunatley, he takes it rather personally and declares war.

2204: The discovery of Air power leads to the design of a new Missile needlejet.
-Begin reasearch of Centauri medetation.
-Destroyed a Hive Sea base.

2205: The Peacekeepers retake Health Authority, only to loose Equality Centre (and with it the Virtual World) moments later. He beggs for a truce, and is turned down.

2206: Fighting on the UN continent Continues to escalate as more worms arive.

2207: Health Authority is destroyed by Gaian forces.

2208: Morgan offers to ally with us, and oact of Brotherhood is signed. We are now at war with the Believers, and Morgan has joined the fight with Lal.

2210: At the end things are looking a tad grim. We've made little progress on the mainland, and our first aircraft are still a few turns away. Once we have Needles in the air, things should start to look up. Morgan looks like he won't last long, Miriam is moving in rapidly on his eastern border, and now he's pincered between Her and Lal. At the very least, he'll be a distraction.

I've made my attempt to resurect this game, now it's up to someone else to take it from here.

Save:
 
2211 - Take out some Peacekeeping forces on their island, change some builds and hurry some builds. We need Recreation Commonses if we want to continue growth in most of our bases. Those not needed for military are switched over.

2212 - The Hive blitzes through the remainder of the Spartans and eliminates them. *Sigh* On a lighter note, UN Information Agency is now ours, and we are essentially fighting on only one front. We shouldn't need many forces to take UN Headquarters or to hold off Peacekeeping attacks from that quarter.

2213 - We're on a roll. UN Planning Authority is now Gaian, at the cost of exactly 0 Gaian troops. The Morganites seem to be holding out at Morgan Processing, so all hope is not yet lost for them. We begin the Planetary Transit System, one of the most powerful and important early SPs. Hopefully the University isn't too far along. I call the Planetary Council and Lady Deirdre is now Governor of Planet, 78 - 70 - 102 Abstentions. Now we can spy more easily on the Peacekeepers and Believers! The Believing force at Morgan Energy Monopoly is... intimidating, to say the least.

2214 - Our new surveillance reveals that UN Commerce Commitee has only a single Synthmetal Sentinel defending it. Some Mindworms troops over there and we take the base.

2215 - Morgan Processing falls to the Believers. Not much else happens.

2216 - We prepare for another push against the Peacekeepers and sink a Believing Transport headed for our shores.

2217 - The Believers and Hive sign a Pact against us. Not a big deal. More minor skirmishes. I found The Flowers Preach at the edge of Garland Crater.

2218 - UN Aid Station falls to the Gaian army. At this point we want to consider signing a Peace Treaty with the Peacekeepers to focus on the Believers, especially if Lal calls up and offers to surrender. OTOH, UN Headquarters is home to the Merchant Exchange and the Maritime Control Center, both useful SPs.

2219 - The University switches to the Planetary Datalinks, a near-useless SP for all except Miriam and Domai, especially at so low a difficulty level. We discover Centauri Meditation. We go for Planetary Economics for the highly-useful Hybrid Forests.

2220 - UN Temple of Sol falls to us. Lal offers to surrender completely. I mull it over for a minute, then decide that the Maritime Control center isn't really worth fighting a prolonged war against the Peacekeepers, Hive and Believers. Better to get the Peacekeeprs on our side now. We can betray them later, of course.
 
bear with me,i dont play SG,forget to write some turns\stuff down :)

open turn. okay,must be on no crawlers rules. who forgot to put in boreholes and\or bases! :confused: run around,do a few things,but looks OK for endofturn.cancel the sp's being made,need to spam pods.why virtual world?we have no netnodes :rolleyes:

turn 2

bunch of miriam's units move into jungle,destroyed same.attack Mprocessing with air unit,situated so miriam cant move through on the road.also kill a probe with the other air unit and tie up more roads.truced with hive.univ is willing to pact for superconducter.rearrange drones,had some unneeded talents,rushed stuff,etc. morgans lose more base to believers,take proccessing from believers(no losses) kill a unit w\ needle in Menergy,block counterattack with needle unit

turn 3

some boats off our coast between us\belivers,kill 2.miriam wants peace for return of Mproccessing,decline :evil: blow things up,rearrange formers,etc. miriam has alot of ungaurded bases(??).countinue butt kicking spree into Menergy,gaurd stack of worms with air unit. unless units are hidden in fungus,Menergy is secured.no losses.

turn 4,5.miriam is obstinate,wants peace for superconducter.decline :evil: loose arty unit to her needle jet.switch to wealth..only a pair if plasmas in Mindustries,no attack units in sight. 2 impact inf and 1 needle seem to comprise beliving mobile force in south.will remove.blocked Mindustries off,will capture next turn.

turn 6. capture Mindustries.no losses but some 90% wounded's.stack of 5 needlejets headed towards Mindustries from the south,to bad we have no aaa's :/ capture morgan bank. unknown believer force south of Mindustries.pull a minor cheat and gift Mindustries to univ to rescue units,no losses yet(sighted a probe i couldnt stop).

turn 7,8,9. believers take Mindustries from univ,i take it back for no losses then gift again. catch some planes on the ground in gravitonics.whole bunch of fighting,take gravitonics,believers dont seem to be pushing a whole lot of troops. uneventfull.

lal has cybernetics IIRC and plan econ is 1 turn away.i hope my strategy didnt go against the spirit of this game... :mischief:
