The game hath begun.

Vlad Antlerkov · September 1, 2002, 07:55

I took the liberty of taking a screenshot showing our current exploration, our relative position on Planet, and our starting units.

Kassiopeia · September 1, 2002, 08:05

So, we are next to the Freshwater Sea, right?

Maniac · September 1, 2002, 08:07

Man, such a rainy starting position!

Ok, so we probably started near the Freshwater Sea. My suggestion is we send our scout and colony pod east (after popping that pod in the north), because my memory tells me planetary survey scans from the Unity have indicated several rocky+mineral tiles in that area. When mined, they will give us 7 minerals, greatly fuelling our expansion!

I suppose I should start a seperate thread about this?

Darkness' Edge · September 1, 2002, 08:08

thanks for posting that, vlad

should have done it myself

Method · September 1, 2002, 10:02

ugh. i hate starting there. i suggest we send our pods north to the freshwater sea, and then expand around it where there is less fungus.

The Bloody Baro · September 1, 2002, 12:52

Dang! We didn't get the Monsoon Jungle.

DeathByTheSword · September 1, 2002, 14:58

we are above the freshwater sea or am i wrong?

Method · September 1, 2002, 14:59

we're near it. i posted a VERY crude map of where i think we are somewhere...

EDIT: here it is...http://apolyton.net/forums/showthrea...46#post1259546

DeathByTheSword · September 1, 2002, 15:05

i am pretty sure we are above it i started there in my last SP game and it is near that part of land between freshwater and the ocean east of it

Method · September 1, 2002, 15:07

in that case, there are rainy tiles to our northwest. we can get maybe our 3rd or 4th base there, and move north up the ridge where there are more rainies.

DeathByTheSword · September 1, 2002, 15:20

may i suggest to all goverment officials to start a TOPPED thread about there plans for the next 5 turns or something (look at DGcivIII for what i mean exactly)

Method · September 1, 2002, 15:25

You mean this? cool. darkness' edge has a lot on his plate lately, being commish AND alpha talen...why not let someone else do it? (not me

)

DeathByTheSword · September 1, 2002, 15:28

)

DeathByTheSword · September 1, 2002, 15:32

Maybe. Someone who hasn't much work to do at this phase of the game. *looks around* Not me, though.

I don't need replacing just yet.

You people get all hyped up when I sleep for a few hours.

The orders thread will be part of the turnthread, which I'll probably start tonight. (i'm in history class right now)

Gnool · September 3, 2002, 02:34

Here's a better quality pic of our starting position

You sleep? How irresponsible.

moomin · September 3, 2002, 05:42

Not too bad a start.

Vlad Antlerkov · September 3, 2002, 06:24

Meh, apologies for the poor quality of my pic. I don't have any decent image-editing programs (only MS Photo Editor and Paint). For some reason, the default format of Paint is .bmp, so if I save it as a .gif, the colors get screwed up.

Main_Brain · September 3, 2002, 07:13

Hooraay Planetfall..
Anyone Hurt?

DeathByTheSword · September 3, 2002, 09:40

my favorite coffeemok is broken. ah well probably will not have any coffee here anyways

Gnool · September 5, 2002, 00:57

How long until we start doing stuff? (By "doing stuff" I mean moving units, founding bases etc.)

Gnool · September 5, 2002, 00:59

Meh, ignore that last post.
