Maeldun's First Stand

[Maeldun]

Hah, another colony pod successfully defending itself against mind worms.

Also seem to be on a small island.

[Misotu]

Good!  At least we're both similarly afflicted then     Difficult with blind research/tech stag. I keep hoping to find a little bit more land, but all I get is more sea ...

[Maeldun]

Sorry, misnamed the last save.

[Misotu]

No worries on the name.

One thing I should mention: the in-game notifications don't work well in multi-player. As I understand it, only one player gets to see them so the convention is that if you see a notification, you post it on the board.

I just got my first breakthrough (somewhat jammily) and was told that the University made Planet's first breakthrough in 2109.

It's particularly important for the projects - people generally post on the thread when they are one turn from completing one, or when they get a notification that an AI project is "nearing completion".

[Maeldun]

Ok, will be looking out for those.

[Misotu]

Back to you ...

[Maeldun]

I most definitely seem to be on a small island. If we both are and this an "average planet" somebody like Yang or Miriam probably has all the land. Our small human alliance seems doomed.

[Misotu]

It's called "giving the AI a fighting chance". Look on the bright side 

[Maeldun]

Another fungal bloom

[Misotu]

Blimey!  Well, I'm out of pods and no sight of a mindworm so far except one that sprang from a pod and promptly died. That first capture is a long time coming. Not that I have anywhere to send it of course ...

I have one last corner to explore and if that's sea too then the Gaians are in deep trouble. It's looking horribly flat over there ...

[Maeldun]

Next!

[Misotu]

Bated breath ...

[Maeldun]

Got 2 artifacts. I predict 50 turns before I am able to use them both.

[Misotu]

I think your tiny island is either considerably bigger than mine or carpeted in pods.

:sob!:

[Maeldun]

...I don't have 2 artifacts anymore.

I am also in the possibility of losing Sparta Command to mind worms next turn. It's an island alright.

Not going too well.
