Maeldun's First Stand

[Misotu]

Um. Well, when I hit end turn it came up with my turn next (!)

And when I looked at the commlink, you weren't there any more. So I think you lost your HQ unfortunately. Bummer! This gives us a couple of options:

1.  Go back a turn or two to a point where you could put a unit in your HQ and avoid the problem or ...
2.  Start a new game!

Either is fine by me as nothing major happened at my end - no pods to pop or battles to be had so I can just repeat what I did easily enough. What would you like to do?

[Maeldun]

Lol, that went great.

I vote new game. Two islands does not sound like good fun.

Can we keep it in the same thread?

[Misotu]

Of course. Bear with me, I'll set one up. Although two islands would have been quite a challenge! Back shortly.

You can change the thread title to something like "Maeldun's (Second) Stand" by editing the OP, Misotu.

[Misotu]

That would be unkind BUncle. We're regarding the first few turns as a dress rehearsal   

Shame as I quite like islands. But in all honesty that one was really much too small!

OK, here it is. Forgot to mention that spoils of war are on, as requested, and I have turned random events off. Because I hate them   

[Maeldun]

Things are looking much better at Sparta Command for now.

[Misotu]

Glad to hear it     Given the way things are going, I'll be losing my HQ to the Believers in around 15 turns   

[Maeldun]

Really, you've made first contact with Miriam already?

[Misotu]

No, thank goodness.  But I know she's out there.

Gaian intuition

[Maeldun]

Ok, site's back up.

That could be something lingering from the last game - I resigned in game to get the timeline thing, and well, she was in the island next to you, to your NE. 

Funny thing is it was all islands. It was a mostly oceanic planet, not average.

In recent news - I seem to be on an island again. No major disasters so far though.

[Misotu]

You beat me to it - when the site went down I thought I'd play the game a little, just to see how it would have panned out. Imagine my surprise when I found Miriam's HQ about 9 tiles away from mine      What a shock. So close on a huge map but of course not much of a problem as her island was even tinier than mine.

The "average" setting can deliver up to 70% sea and I have had maps that seemed to have way too much water in them in SP. It's possible that I clicked the wrong setting of course! but I really didn't think so.

[Maeldun]

Things are shaping up nicely on my apparent island.

[Misotu]

Not such a good start this time, sadly. But we soldier on 

[Maeldun]

Second base down.

[Misotu]

Ditto. My first tech is not the requested colour. As usual
