Waterworld!

I played this turn on my gf's laptop with vanilla GOG, I think it should be fine this one time.

And indeed, our leader of Atlantians, impressive job to build a secret project in such hostile environment. We'd love to send our ambassador. Where can we find you?

[Kataphraktoi]

Domai of the Sea Drones would like to congratulate you on a fine effort of industrial coordination in constructing such a great project, but regretfully is unable to attend the ceremonies due to hostile forces roaming our waters.

[Geo]

On behalf of the Queen, our thanks for your best wishes.
It was indeed a tremendous effort, and costed a hefty penny, but in the end it turned out well.

Turned to Chairman of the Submariners.

Follow the Deep Trench twothirds of its length, turn under on the fifth wave and follow until the second sea on the left. Surface on the third shelf on the right and you're almost there then. But not to worry, one of our Armored Boats of the Great White Fleet is bound to make a courtesy call soon enough.

Interesting game so far. For anyone who didn't know already - the difficulty is 2 levels lower, so we have 3 free workers before police, 4 for the Drones.

Wow, a guy would be loath to do groceries here! The turn is back already?

Over to Chairman Vishniac.

And that's not really to my liking as it negates some of the short-term advantages of The Hive: mainly police and support from Police State. Now everybody can just put a second scout with non-lethal methods and go to pop 7 without problem.
Shall the Virtual World even be built since the Technos have not the drone problem of the University?

It also mitigates the threat of the Bree. At Librarian, they are just a nuisance ready to be abused...and abused they will be!

If it's any comfort, it diminishes one of my faction SE settings as well.

on to seamen.

Impressive build, especially with a not particularly builder focused faction in fairly mineral poor environment. I wonder how much that focus will set you back in terms of fewer sea bases early, and how quickly it'll pay itself off by meaning you need half as many of those expensive sea formers as anyone else.

With my upcoming LOA, I'd like to pass the passwords and keys to the game over to another CMN, are the players okay with that? And do any of you have a current game against a CMN in which you use the same password, so don't want the keys passed to them?

Word is the Bree are more easy to conquer then initially thought?

No problem for me on both accounts.
Enjoy your trip, and do post a picture now and then of your whereabouts.

[Geo]

Oh, and here's the turn.
