Sucession Game #1: Free glocks for all! Spartania Forever!

Ok, I'm back. My monitor was busted. It's under warranty, so I'm able to get it replaced free. Meanwhile, this one sux, but, hey, its only temporary...

Kitten: Glad you liked how I used the Kitties.:D Btw, has anyone gotten a chance to play?
 
Oh, folks! Yooo hooo! What happened to our game? Did everyone forget? I realize that some of you are H.S. and college students who need to keep up on your studies (been there, done that, plan to do it again), but maybe after chores, or work, on a Saturday, maybe??:) I've got maybe a week to get in a game before I'm off to San Francisco. Btw, who was next, anyway?
 
Well I haven't got icq on my university computer...but I check the forums...

I'll be taking the game to my room tonight...either later tonight or tomorrow morning I'll post the results of my reign.
 
Well here is the end of my reign save...I'll type up the history later:

Basically I killed off the Believers and modernised the army...most production went into supply crawlers and the economy.

At the end of my 20 turn reign the Hive and Morgan are in GREAT trouble...had morgan not sank one of my transport ships he would be reduced to seabases...but he did :o
 
2267 (1)

Kitten comes to power...an adopted daughter of Santiago who chose to re-name herself Kitten in honour of the KV unit that saved her from the ruins of a village over-run by mindworms in the "Vale of Planet"...The villagers were of Gaian origin, and it is not know exactly why Santiago chose this child...rumour says she was a daughter of Dee, and that she felt guilty of having orphaned the child, but their is not proof of this in the public domain. But it is strange that a KV unit would be in the "Vale of Planet after the PK war it being so far from the front lines. :confused:

So Santiago has a successor in line should anything go wrong...but she must be worthy to rule or else the senate of this great Democracy won't accept her as "President for life" should Santiago die.

The next President for life: we shall see! :queen:

Kitten pronounces her plan: to improve the economy by limiting the military to additional airunits and specialist units...upgrading of present obsolete formations will provide more Hippo and KV units to defeat the foe. In addition supply crawling and comprehensive "children creches" and "recycling vats" will improve productivity. If we pursue these plans then I'm sure we will soon have our foes beaten and our people praising their government for improvements at home.

Kitten sends the airforce to destroy Believer sensor arrays to allow later use of airforce over Believer territory NOT to be hampered by the benefits their sensor arrays confer to their air defence...shocked that this hadn't been done before now!

KV units supported by Hippos and airforce units surplus to the destruction of sensor arrays allows "Redemption Base" to be taken...we nerve staple the inhabitants to ensure peace and proceed to equip "Public Defender" units to police the city. We have to extend nerve stapling to "U.N Information Agency" AND "The Coming of the Lord"...Kitten orders the training of more PDs to police the restless population.

Upgrading of the military brings our KV units to number 6...firms constructing our airforce are told to build less fighters and more bombers as no airforce has hampered our operations to date and we have plenty of fighters.

Our planners conceive of an "Elite Troop Transport" unit...although expensive Santiago wamr of the idea that her best troops could be transported more quickly and safely across the waves...more than anything else it will be a symbol of Spartan power! :rocket:

The Dreadhead Spyforce report that "Morgan Industries" has 4 Secret Projects and is in construction of another...we will target this city as we are at war with Morgan and this city is obviously a source of his power :fish:

NEWSFLASH: HIVE TAKE ZOLOTO GOLD FROM THE BELIEVERS

2268 (2)

Scientists studying Superstring Theory make it worthwhile by developing chaos guns! The KV and Hippo units will be upgraded as soon as possible and our airforce will produce planes with this new technology onboard. We target efforts to get something worthwhile from the idea of Pre-Sentient Apparatus or some such non-sense!

S-array bombing continues...

Hommel's Citadel is now producing a massive 25 mineral units a year due to supply crawling of minerals near Sparta Command!

A unity pod provides 200 energy credits

At great cost the airforce is bought a brand-new "Chaos Penetrator" unit to aid the bomber wing.

2269 (3)

Kitten uses large sums of money to buy a "Mobile Airbase Construction Team" that can build an airbase to allow bombing of Morgan territory from the North of the Believer continent.

Hippo rover units not using gas devastates Believer forces in "Children of God"...the compassion of the Hippo troopers for the civilians (that would get gassed too) puts their lives at risk to do so as the Believer army fights on.

Sanctity Base defenders cause massive airloses...Kitten points out the loses were in SAM planes and that her bombers will not have any such problem...on asking why she had used these planes then she replied..."Better for them to fight than lie idle!" and "It is their first set-back...this city must be blessed by god..." :rolleyes:

2270 (4)

Hive and Morgan talk and Hive are convinced by Morgan to ally with him and make war upon us...surely the Believers our enough for him to contend with never mind us...he will only bring destruction upon himself and his drones.

Planet activity increases as we enter Perlihelion or some such nonsense...we have Trance units well equiped to deal with this says Kitten.

The "Elite Troop Transport" is bought at great expense in Sparta Command.

Hippo Rovers seizes the base of "Children of God" outrunning in their rovers the keen KV units...N-stapling and P-defender procedures taken in the new base even before the last of the fighting is over.
Advancing onwards half the Hippo Rovers in the Believer continent are wiped out in a foolhardy attack on the massive "University Base" (which is in Believer hands). Not wanting to damage the value of the city they hadn't used gas...a mistake if Hippo Rover Crews are considered important to the Nation. In revenge Zarga Sume is attacked by the other Hippo unit with gas.

Unity pods bring in more energy from one hell of a successful expedition by a transport in the Southern Ocean near Mount Planet.

2271 (5)

KV units destroy Zarga Sume allowing the Hippo Rovers to disengage from this theatre and take University Base supported as alway by the airforce...the rovers move along the roads eastwards gassing large numbers of Believer troops.

2272 (6)

Believer rovers and numerous Hive troopers are gassed whilst the KV is renamed as they are re-equiped with chaos weaponary to "Chaos Kittens"...or the "CK".

Hive and Believer forces facing off in the fungus ridden rivers on the Believer north frontier are bombed by our airforce...we weren't invited to their battle but we came anyway :)

2273 (7)

Two "Chaos Kitten" units supported by Hippo units and an old KV unit seize Baikour and with it the Virtual World...these troops will rest here before going onwards! It is strange to relate that 3 ground units of about 5 starting since Kitten launched her offensive remain and they have taken 6 bases...the airforce allows such dominance by small forces not to mention these troops are elite and equiped with the best weaponary money can buy -true to Spartan military principles.

2274 (8)

The hardy defenders of Sanctity Base face the Chaos Penetrators and lose badly...revenge is sweet.

The supply crawlers our finding it hard to find worthwhile land to extract resources from...we need more formers!

2275 (9)

To the NE of Eurytion Bay SW of the airbase construction another "Mobile Airbase Construction Team" releases from a unity pod a large number of boils...luckily they get back onto a transport ship...the airforce is flown in to protect the airbase construction as it has taken long enough never mind it being ruined near to completion (well as soon as the other team gets there it will be soon).

True to form the airforce saves the day...but in bombing one set of boils it only makes the others more developed as Planet reacts to the attack on her minions...Kitten knows that if she succeeds in bombing them without loss the gains by way of planetpearls will have main this event fortuitous...and as larger boils and especially demons produce more pearls more bombing to encourage planet to send her nastiest and largest creations is keenly advanced.

From this energy source more KV units are upgraded to "Chaos Kittens". :love:


Hive probe teams destroy a network node at Balkour...many researchers will be called up as they serve no function without a network node and we need more P.D too enforce the peace.

Other researchers develop a use for "Pre-sentient Algorithms"...we target research towards the application of fusion power.

2276 (10)

The Hive capture one of our most successful "Chaos Kitten" units...an team of experts recommend we train an elite probe team to re-capture these forces obviously by now brain-washed to obey the orders of Yang!


2277 (11)

The airforce allows Hippo rovers an easy drive into Zoloto Gold...:p

2278 (12)

"Next-Gen-Hippos" are developed...they are armed with gas and chaos weaponary...at great expense we upgrade 4 "Hippo-X-Rovers" to be "Next-Gen-Hippos"...on the Sunny Mesa the remaining "Chaos Kitten" forces face-off with alot of Hive units...

Dreadhead Spies report the captured "Chaos Kittens" have been brain-washed and are at present re-arming and repairing in Socialism Tunnels.

A probe team designed for rescuing the "Chaos Kittens" will be equiped with deep radar to loacte the "CK" unit and has armour to withstand any assault whilst in enemy territory...only the cost of this unit delays the rescue of the "CK" unit.

END OF PART I
 
2279 (13)

The airbase in the north is completed with workteams now building sensor arrays to protect the airbase against sneak attacks. :satan:

"Next-Gen-Hippo" rovers take Burran Prospect after airunits soften the target and move into the Great Dunes killing Believer missile troops in doing so.

2280 (14)

Believer probe teams steal "Intellectual Integrity" from us...BOY they need it! not only to help in their war but more so they learn that stealin' tech is WRONG! :spank:

Believer missile troopers destroy many aircraft left unguarded in Burran Prospect..the base would have fallen but for news that in the south Sanctity Base had fallen and with it the Believer empire!!! A certain red-head is put in a certain chamber and makes a certain sound!

Such Hippo triumph was in constrast to a disaster for "Chaos Kitten" pride as the airforce "accidently" bomb the captured "CK" unit to dust...some CK commanders believe that it was no accident but that Santiago and Kitten feared that the CK unit could attack and take Balkour...(that rumour is VERY false, I was close to tears!) [punch]

The Hive have the cheak to steal "gene splicing" technology from us...

2281 (15)

An air-raid on "Morgan Industries" is repulsed...


The Public Defenders supported by air units take "Stadt der something!" from the Hive and immediately police the city in a way Hive drones take as the norm! Nerve-stapling and arrests of troublemakers... :rocket2:

Airbase launches fighters versus the Hive and Morgan airforce which succeed in only killing one airbase contruction team.

2282 (16)

Bringing some new units forwrd for invasion of Morganite territory...plus the usual economic bimplings...

2283 (17)

We develop fusion reactors for our units...expensive upgrades deplete our massive energy stockpile to a mere 70!

"Chaos Kittens" take Socialism Tunnels site of the brain-washing of the most successful KV/CK unit...only strong orders prevent the base from being levelled by the bezerk kitties.

In the East Morgan captures a supply crawler in the huge fungal matts near the fungal area called "The Ruins"...the airforce counters this invasion of probe teams and missile troopers.

We design "Sea to Sky Gunboats" and "Deep Throat APCs" to:

1. seek out and destroy airunits from a naval platform which unlike fighters doesn't require a relatively near base and so can operate far from our empire.
2. To transport troops into enemy territory and using deep radar spot targets before releasing the troops that can then use their full movement (2 as our troops are all elite) to move one "square" then attack the enemy...so effectively boosting movement of troops and their ability to find targets even if their is fungus!

Another disaster as the Morganite airforce sinks a transport with at "Next-Gen-Hippo" and "CK" unit aboard...

2284 (18) :hammer:

"CK" units take Morgan Industries after an airraid by several bombers and we gain in doing so 5 SPs AND Advanced Ecological Engineering.

2285 (19)

We complete the construction of the "Maritime Control Center"...whilst our forces in Morgan territory make further gains and try to hold onto our position despite having VERY few troops due to the sinking of that transport in 2283 and the general lack of production devoted to the army for the last 19 years...However the well trained and equiped and numerous airforce fight like heroes to hold the position versus the massive Morganite airforce (well...it WAS massive!)

2286 (20)

Hippo Rovers destroy "Morgan Transport" (I think that hole in the ground was called that...hehe)...our forces cling on desperately in Morgan Territory whilst our airforce does a huge amount of work destroying Morganite forces that are attempting to dislodge us :eek:

Elsewhere the Hive our forced down to 3 bases and these will be doomed in 4-5 years of combat!

2287 (NEXT PERSON!)

Kitten is awarded the right to be "President for life" should she survive and should she be the best candidate...Hippos and Dreadhead will be preening themselves just as much for power should Santiago die as Kitten...and Santiago wants to see them show their skillz now!


Summary of my 20 turn reign:
1. Defeated Believers...
2. Morgan will last more than 4-5 turns so the Hive will die before Morgan.
3. The military is under-invested in...I did not commit much to the army/navy outside of energy reserves...production was centered upon the airforce and the economy.
4. We have plenty of troops still to be turned to fusion reactors...
5. The empire is in good shape...no major economic, environmental or military problems and we can probably conquer the whole of planet within 20 years if we are so inclined and depending on whether we construct a naval vessel capable of taking hold of Morgan seabases once our airforce has obliterated the defenders.

:ak47: :nuke:
 
Wow, you go, Kitten, you whooped major booty!:D:D:D Love that Dreadhead Spyforce!

We definately have to work on a navy to get rid of Morgie.
 
Wow those were nasty little belivers fighting till the end.

Thats good to hear about (*spit*)"yang"(*spit*)
Yeah drea i liked the use of the prob teams. Too bad we lost that unit because a certain someBODY! destroued it. ;) :p

To whoevers next: I think you should get morgan industry first. Then take care of yang. In doing this you will have control of all the SPs and im sure a good economic stronghold to pay for any upgrades.


Who next???
 
Power to the 'X'! :D

Hippo is particularly fond of naval combat and promises to launch an imposing fleet within days. Morgan caught counting his ill-gotten energy tokens on Spy-TV! Planet is in shock! ;)
 
Victory at last! Across Spartania weapons discharged with glee! It took a mere five turns to bring the remaining bases to their knees. I would've bargained with them...but sunspot activity denied such activities ;)

Timeline:


1.MAJOR ACTION ON THE MILITARY FRONT! THE HIVE IS CLAIMED, and the Morgan's are bombed left and right.

2288:Sensor Arrays deep in Hive territory are bombed! Seized Morgan Collections!

2289: Seized Morgan Studios!

2290: Yang is interrogated! Huge wealth being generated by cities preparing for the end. Morgan is off the continent and in the water. I'd negotiate, but sunspot activity prevents such things.

2291:Mind worms attack supply transports! Resarching orbital spaceflight. Morgan Hydrochemical seized...then another one....one ocean city left for morgan. Conquest victory on horizons.


Everything I ever wanted to kow I learned in the cloning vats.

Final score to follow...I'll get some screenshots hopefully...
 
Just got back from San Francisco today. Whoa there Hippo, did you say that the game is over?!? As in victory?!? As in done deal?!? Wow, cool, but, awwww, I missed it! Hey, are you going to give us a screenshot? Can we do another sometime? Viva Spartania, baby!!!
 
Bumped to show people what a SMAC succession game looks like :)

May aswell post a symbol of our conquest victory :)
