My usual start but this time, no pods as well     I don't remember seeing so featureless a start in a while ...

[Eadee]

You don't get lucky these days hm? Do you want to reroll?

[Eadee]

I caused a fungal bloom before I could build my first base 

[Misotu]

Well ... it's a really crummy start    Up to you, do you mind? I don't expect the jungle or anything but I'd like *something* to help me along a bit ...

Just read your next post ... yeah, go on, let's try a restart since it benefits both   

[Eadee]

Here we go:
good luck this time ^^'

[Misotu]

It's very similar but it's ok. I will just have to try harder   

[Eadee]

Still got a VERY stupid pod at first turn, but the base site is okay this time, so lets just try it.

[Misotu]

We have no pods   

[Eadee]

I really hope there is land to the north... there's water everywhere else

[Misotu]

Good for defence, water. I spotted a very nice site just to the north ... and bumped into someone else's colony pod just as I was almost there ...

This could end ... ahem ... embarrassingly    BTW, I'm assuming it's the seven SMAC factions?

[Eadee]

Are there even any other factions?

[Misotu]

Not really 

[Eadee]

I really need to focus on explore. Quite weird as Morgan.

[Misotu]

I would really like a weapon   

Hope you don't mind, but I turned off "always investigate monoliths" because I tend to build roads through them and it catches me out horribly! I think it's one of those settings that has to be the same for everyone in a PBEM game, which is a bit annoying.

And no, the monolith isn't in *my* territory. It belongs to my next door neighbour who is around six squares away ...  If I only were Kirov, I'd be nipping in and introducing them to Mr Pain in no time   

It's quite late here now so this is my last turn for tonight. But I am happy to play some more turns tomorrow some time late afternoon/evening if you are around? Let me know if you want to set up a time. I'll play a turn tomorrow morning anyway, if you post one.
