Retech

Ooooooh, I'm interested in doing a food trade off? I request a 100 tons of bread, if that's possible.

Well, they can be easily stored dehydrated, then you just add some water and tada, it's nice and fluffy. I can send you some if you'd like; specialty kelp is grown on Earth :thumbsup:

I'll buy them for a million tons of kelp bread. MMmmm, yummu and nutritious.

This reminds me of the news reports that were coming out of China during the Cultural Revolution and the protests and Tianimmen square (ack, can't spell that).

Oh btw, are your people still lizards Rocco? Or are they a different race that took over.

Sounds... fair I guess. So we're just going by through reasonableness now with Archi playing as randoms?

I'm not personally against your figures because they are unfair. If everyone else has to abide by a system, you have to as well. Of course, instead of having this talk, Archi could just start dishing out random events. *hint hint*

Then you're making it unbalanced for everyone else. My nation is extremely militaristic, yet I never put any boost on that. Where did you get the "Petran Empire" name anyways?

Remember that space shil production is governed by PP. No matter how much money you have, you still gotta build production stations. Anyways Rocco, are you keeping track as to how much PP you have each turn?

Wait wait wait, one second. Even though all that domestic unrest stuff was interesting backdrop, but the space production increases doesn't make any sense. That's just like the "fortunate events" that Mather had. Maybe you should ask Archi about this? You may control domestic occurances, but this isn't domestic.

Oh phew! I was just about to launch and invasion of Malaysia with my entire Japanese population (6 billion people, so maybe half a million infantry) and sub support. ------ That worked out quite nicely. :)

Grim is bombarding my home planet of Erikio. So mean...

Hail Warlord Zu Petra! -------- Scram cannons have been installed within all ground-based defence systems and improved coilguns are being distributed to the army and stockpiled.

Well thanks for the torture device! :) :thumbsup:

Notes are 500 each, and thanks for the candy! Thousands of my citizens start gobbling the candy, only to balloon to large size and suffocate. Just goes to show you that kelp is the only truly healthy thing. The good thing was that the prisoners were going to be executed anyways, and the populace had a lot of entertainment watching them die. More candy is being stockpiled for further executions. Since it's Christmas, my three project with Kelp in their name are done. I will be installing one of them in my ships, one of them was built on all my planets, and one of them...is preparing for launch. Will send you the details Archi.

With a quickly expanding population and abundant species of kelp, the settlers are thriving. The relatively large amount of land is still mostly unused, aside from defences, but future uses could be found.

Skyscrapers exist that are taller than almost any structure on Earth, mainly because the buoyancy that the water provides. It is covered by 99% water, with the land harnessed to grow luxury food crops, meat, and defensive installations.

Massive underground tunnels snake through the continental shelf and deeper into the sea crust. The majority of Lichtes citizens live here, sheltered from infectious viruses and invading aliens by the limitless fortifications and defences. This is a major Iridium monopole mining base. Deep within the tunnels, the worst of society (over 200 million) trudge down into the mines to get as much Iridium ion as they can. The ones that give above average get a comfortable bed for the night, while those below average can either go back to their homes or go down to get more Iridium to get a bed.

The ones on land often have a tunnel that goes down into the main tunnels, but these are sealed except during peacetime. Though the projectiles cannot aim straight (due to the winds), the massive amounts of artillery flying through the air and the expanse of their fleet makes it easy to hit. If the enemy begins to land, then it will be far easier to hit them.

Takes the children back from their parents and gives them to Ttan.

Of course you mean land farms, right? Sea farms can always produce much more than land farms per acre because of the fact that sea has volume, while land doesn't have volume. Hundred feet Kelp that grow a few feet per day is a great food source, especially with genetic modification. --------- Anyone interested in buying kelp bread? :D

Its name is "Grave Wasteland" in Norse. I forgot what that was. :)

With Dusty's 40% birth rate, he'd bound to have over a trillion by now

Well you have over 100 billion pop I think

Good point. Suddenly, most of the soldiers disband.

Coilguns aren't hard to produce.

1/10th of the population spread across 8 or so worlds isn't too much. ------- Keep in mind the sea can support many more people than the land. I have 3 times the current world population, on 8 planets, in the sea. I think that's reasonable.

The sledgehammer boomerangs back at Mather.

You rolled a one. 3 transport blew up for unknown reasons. --- Why would there be a roll on that?
