Hegemony-V2 begins page 302

Retech... Unless you want to develop a massive espionage program, even larger than Grims, you are not going to be able ti stop Rocco like that.

[Retech]

Not espionage, simple chemistry.

 

The capsule rusts, the joints don't move, it never opens! :)

 

Then my agents can trap it in a plastic bag and dispose of it in a volcanic vent!

[Guest Mrmegakirby]

How do you plan on making it rust? If you find a way, I'm stockpiling anti-rust spray or whatever it's called.

[archimage_a]

Go ahead, archi, please do. If I like the results, I'll stop researching. If I hate it, would I be able to do work on it and then re-roll?

Oh, does my research time affect the odds of it being more powerful?

14 for Virus deadliness, 2 for Vaccine time development, 19 for Mutation and 17 for Infectability.

Your Virus takes just over a week(9 days) to kill someone, but goes undetected for 5 days, so can spread rampantly. It is cured easily though with only two years research, however after three years the virus can mutate, and so unless five or so consecutive vaccine programs are initiated the virus will just keep coming back.

 

Research means that if you have less than the number of years you spent you can spend the deficient how you like.(So say you had 12,12,12,1 and had spent 40 years researching, you could spend 3 points) Researching over 80 years is pointless.

[Guest Mrmegakirby]

Oh, archi, before you roll, could you please post the system you'll be using? Thanks.

Edit: Scratch that.

 

How does it spread?

[Retech]

I don't need to MAKE it rust, it rusts on its own. :)

 

 

My scientists have recently come up with a mathematical proof that states that this is the universe of all universes in which everything that can go wrong, will go wrong. It's a remarkable coincedence, but scientists dropped a ball down a board with pegs and consistently got 5 points (min score) 15 million times. This amounts to a probability of 1/10^15 million.

[archimage_a]

Sorry, Doom's Infinity Improbability drive is against you on this one.

Normalcy has been restored.

[Wisp]

No generating systems.

Doom did, therefore I can. Unless you want Doom to remove her 10 day away system and the fleet she built there.

 

That was based on a real star. So yeah.

[Retech]

Noooooooooooooo, how could this be happening?

 

Maybe the canister hasn't been tested in extreme pressures, and will cease to open?

[Guest Mrmegakirby]

Archi? Is my virus airborne, waterborne, or anything like that? And how would I be able to improve on those stats? Say, a certain amount of "points" per categorie per year of research?

[archimage_a]

That was based on a real star. So yeah.

I don't mind doing real stars, its more the systems that I generate.

 

Archi? Is my virus airborne, waterborne, or anything like that? And how would I be able to improve on those stats? Say, a certain amount of "points" per categorie per year of research?

 

Sorry, its 17 so it is transfered by all known methods but can't jump species.

 

You would need 55+ years of research to improve the stats.

[Retech]

Oh God, please do not allow yourself to improve your virus constantly. Just get a reroll. Imagine a virus with 20 in everything, that would be unstoppable unless everyone in the game worked on a vaccine while sending all their forces against the person who made the virus.

[Guest Mrmegakirby]

A virus with 20 in everything would take an insane amount of research.

[Retech]

Insane? Maybe not. Someone could just say they start researching it, go away for a year, and have an unbeatable virus when they get back.

[archimage_a]

20 for Virus deadliness, 20 for Vaccine time development, 20 for Mutation and 20 for Infectability.

Kills within 24 hours.

Takes 20 turns of research to complete Vaccine

Can spawn a new virus every turn with a Re-Roll

Can spread globally without noticeable transference.

 

 

You would either need instant quarantine or planetary destruction.

 

But getting 20 in any of them makes it a pretty deadly piece of kit.

[Retech]

I think we should start banning these super biological weapons. Not ban ban, but as in "geneva convention" kinda ban. The clause should be, no aggressive use of biological warfare (defence would be allowed).

[archimage_a]

no aggressive use of biological warfare (defence would be allowed)

"We would only use Nuclear Weapons to defend ourselves." "You can't defend yourself by committing suicide"

Oxymoronic to use Bioweapons as a defence, it will just provoke retaliation.

[Guest Mrmegakirby]

Ok. I'm going to begin research for another virus. I'll put another 10 years into my current, and 30 years into my new one.

 

Naming it YN26, for the same un-creative reason as YO15. Archi, could you roll right now for what it will be? Or would it be better to roll later?

[archimage_a]

It takes 20 years to develop a virus to the stage where I will roll on it with a 20 Sided Die. Before that....A four sided.

Your new Virus will have stats of 8, 13, 3, 15, when it is finished(in 30 years)

[Retech]

I wonder if I should start a virus too...

[archimage_a]

I think defending yourself would be a better use of resources...

[Retech]

Not with the same virus.

 

I think I will just defend myself, but I might need some help. Thanks for the caravels Archi, they gave me a fighting chance.

 

Rocco, if you want a fair fight, then please allow me to build up my ships until December 1st.

 

 

 

 

 

 

I would like to put a request to anyone with ships available to combat the growing threat of Rocco to my civilians. Rocco has developed a biological weapon, more cruel than any before it. I am requesting aid to stop Rocco's missle/fleet from dropping off the virus. Your assistance will be greatly appreciated.

[Guest Mrmegakirby]

I wonder if I should start a virus too...

If you do, I'll virus bomb you twice.

About it: Capiah is the most established colony besides that of Japan on Earth. 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.

Erikio is the seat of the Lichtes government and homeworld to most of its people. 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.

New Erikio is much like Erikio, though it has just started developing. Kelp farms have just been planted, and settlers are unpacking their posessions. Winds are almost as harsh as Erikio, making any land base temporary at best.

They're super battleships, mwahahahahaha. Prepare for your fleet to be crushed Rocco.

[archimage_a]

I destroyed a planet to produce them so that is why I have so many.

Basically they have the offensive capabilities of a gnat, and the defensive capabilities of a mountain.

Old specs here. Its basically the same except that instead of a micro-macro array it has 1,500 defensive lasers.

 

Also I am taking it out of the Super Battleship class and sticking it in the PeaceKeeper Class(PK, ironically. PeaceKeepers have a point value of 10,000 but cannot attack. So throwing a fleet of ships at it, unless you bring totally overwhelming numbers 100,000 points per 10,000 points of mine, will leave both sides with the same sized fleets.)
