silencer_pl Posted February 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 Is commerce raiding any good this time around? It was mostly useless in SotS1. Never tried it. AI isn't trade happy, well at least it wasn't before EoF. Might check later. :: More colonies. Another free colony. Let's check how our trade is doing. After 25 turns, we are gaining 500k from trade. Slavers as Gotham, but we have Batman. It looks like the Hivers died. Well I don't know what to say. They had a great boost to start. I've checked what happened. The AI couldn't handle the economy. Plenty of high CH planets, the AI spent plenty of cash on high level stations, only 3 initial systems with 5-6 planets.... well. I certainly made too small map I guess. And we finally meet Tarkas. More swarm. And more tarka terriotry. The convoys are done, now to offset that penalty. The Zuul are again asking for money. I hope they will not finish like Hivers, they have more planets. Delta System. If I would accept that would mean game over and pretty fast game. But I want to see some action, some murder. Sphinx is attacked by VN a second time. In SotS2 VN attacks are different now. First comes the regular probe that was in Prime, then comes the seeker, Seeker is more powerful mothership that launchers assault shuttles, that come and kill your people and steal the resources. Then comes the dreaded Berserker. This is the mothership and on the right are those shuttles. Modular Construction is done. Now let's focus on the psionic tree a bit. Mainly because there is a tech that improve our diplomatic abilities (or at least should) and we might have a chance to improve our research progress. But first Empathy. This technically allows us to raise taxation to level 7 without loosing any morale except when the government trait reduces morale from taxing or with mercantilism even 8 or 9 are possible. System Bob this time doesn't have planet Bob. Empathy is done, now Lesser Glamoure. This tech is always available for Morrigi. Other species must make roll on feasibility check. Hello slavers... please meet our lasers. We are racing through those techs pretty fast. Well they are low level and we are gaining quite a big money now. Telekinesis is what would be nice, but this tech is mostly available to the evil Liir people. It gives boost to IO and next tech after that gives bonus to research department. So we will go with Clairvoyance. This leads to better feasibility tests tech, but I don't know if it is direct route. And new free colony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Voyager Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 Even VN look beautiful... Eh, my time will come... I've heard about this AI going into bankruptcy thing. Too bad, the fireworks will be missed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silencer_pl Posted February 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2013 I'll be going to Netherlands for 2-4 weeks, so this is a last post for some time. After another 15 turns our trade income is booming. Almost 2 million from trade that leaves 50% of my total income. So yeah that investment surely payed off. Clairvoyance is done. Ok because of the difficulty in acquiring the free colonies and the time for them to pop-up we now have enough income to get this job done ourselves. So first we need those Bio-colonizers. There are two types of colonizers - standard and bio. In Prime you've just send them and they vanished after mission. Now each colonizer does different part. After doing supply mission standard colonizers adds bonus to Infrastructure and Bio Colonizers adds bonus to terraforming. Caladan is attacked by meteors, but we have a strong presence there so no harm was done. Ok now we can build those bio-colonizers. Next thing I wanted to go for was Biosphere preservation. Terraforming reduces that wonderful biosphere, I believe 1CH = 5 Biosphere points. But sadomizer said "NO!", so we are going for improved CH range. And here are the plans for new colonization ships: Space Voyager 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Veki Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 Has anyone seen a talking sentient bird here? He was telling a great story, but now has vanished and we'd like him to come back and finish his story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Voyager Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 That bird of prey is busy killing me in Frozen Synapse. And abroad, so I hope he finds the time to continue after his return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silencer_pl Posted April 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 I am still in Netherlands, I guess that I will find a time to move on next week. At least the last patch didn't broke the save Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silencer_pl Posted October 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 I've promised some action some time ago. Well I had a big break from Sots2. Few patches were released too. Regarding this game, well after few turns from where I left the Zuul also ceased to exist. So I've done one reasonable thing to do and signed an Alliance pact with the Tarkas. They were the only ones to succeed in rising to power. But fear not. Winter is still coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
