Hegemony-V2 begins page 302

[Retech]

The queen is on Erikio... <_<

 

Oh well Rocco, my population can be completely replenished within four years. (Time it takes for the eggs to mature) Meanwhile, revenge!

[archimage_a]

Retech...Your Queen is already dead then...Since she was targetted in the attack before this one.

[Retech]

My population stopped expanding quite a while ago. They've been stockpiling eggs. So I have over three trillion eggs (I think, let me go and check), which can be turned into battle troops within four years. Not to mention my 100,000 PP production rate, compared to your 15,000 PP production rate. :D

 

I have many more planets as well. I just don't keep track of their populations because who needs to keep track of millions when you have billions.

[archimage_a]

I do. So they don't exist...as I told you when you first stated it...

[The_Mather1]

Starting techs or all?

 

I was thinking if being some sort of robot race with a colective mind with the "main computer" being a large piece of information stored in subspace.

[Retech]

The people don't "exist", but I've always kept track of the planets. So basically the planet exists and the colony exists, but the people don't exist. :P

 

----------

 

I do have 100,000 PP, infact 110,000. I was producing purely stations for 18 years, starting at 11,000 PP. So you can't just quadruple your production rate because I planned ahead. That's why I asked for the stats of your fighters. Because I had just made 330,000 of them at your rate of 1 PP (At least that's what it seemed your cost was) in three turns. I can't transport 3 trillion troops. I'm just saying that my population can be replenished, no matter how many you kill. :)

[archimage_a]

Can't see a problem with the computer/subspace/hivemind thing.

[Retech]

Well you said you made 5,000 fighters a turn, and you had a total of 10,000 or 15,000 PP. So either your fighters are worth 1 PP or 2 PP.

 

---------

 

Also, the population doesn't have to increase. That's the good thing about laying eggs. You can just hustle them away from their parents, to be put into storage.

[archimage_a]

Anyway, point is the New Erikio is now gone. You can't repopulate it so the argument is acedemic anyway.

[The_Mather1]

I was talking about if we fully restart, can't we vote on that?

 

And if we restart; how many starting techs can we choose?

[Retech]

Sure I can. The oceans are now basically in the atmosphere, so I just have to figure out how to make it rain. :P

[archimage_a]

@Retech:

You need to figure out a way of reducing the temperature of the planet by 200ish degrees C.

 

@Mather:

If we fully restart then I don't know, since everyone would have to agree to restart.

[Retech]

Rocco, I haven't been building ships for 18 years. That's why my PP is so high. You've been building ships the entire time, so your production rates wouldn't increase.

[Wisp]

I think if we start over, starting on Earth would be best. That was the most fun time of the game. But I don't want to start over, and I doubt anyone else does. The only person who does just got destroyed, so I can see why they would want to start over, but oh well.

 

My fleet returns to Alpha Centauri. Or starts to, atleast. Retech, I'm not gonna attack you so don't worry.

[Retech]

Thanks Doom :)

The Anglo-Saxon Institute is offering courses on the Anglo-Saxon language, history, and culture in all public schools and universities. Students who apply for these courses will also learn how to write in runic and Romanized letters.

EDIT: Concerning the total restart of Hegemony, I vote against it. We currently have too much tied up in the current game to do a total restart. We've been through this conversation many times, and the proposed games that we have come up with (Aeroika, etc) have all failed. If we do reach a point where this Hegemony is no longer of interest, I do propose that we restart the game on Earth. It would not be alternative history; all countries present would be real life countries with the real life state of affairs. Alien races would be disallowed, and we will have majority moderation. If a person picks a stupid name (i.e. 'Penis Land' or 'Goa'uld Empire'), we will handle it. Nukes would potentially be disallowed as well, or at least moderated so people can't be idiots with them. The objective would be to lead your country and make the world a continuation of real life history. There will be very loose rules, just like Hegemony V1, but years would take 2 real life days. Nations that aren't reserved by players will simply become NPC nations, and things will be somewhat moderated in order to prevent superpowers from gobbling every small nation up too soon. We will take in account nationalism and politics (communism, fascism, etc).

 

If I were to choose a nation, I would personally pick the United States since I am an American myself and have a deep understanding of US affairs and history. However, we will work that out when the time comes. With the small amount of players, everyone should be able to pick out a decent country that they can be satisfied with.

 

[/Off Topic]

[Seraphi]

Bad idea, since some real life countries hold a lot more influence over world affairs than others.

Who wants to be France when you can be America and have a heckton more manpower.

 

I'd prefer starting on a pre-generated world.

[Grim_]

I prefer not to restart just because mather got blown up...

[archimage_a]

Aerokia hasn't failed, we just haven't started it yet, due to me not having the time to devote to it(and seemingly never going to because of Dungeoneering.)

Majority moderation won't work because everyone, except maybe Retech, is not all that bothered unless they are getting nuked by it. Most likely it would just slide by....

 

Personally I think we should take the 'Spore' approach and begin as some microb and then evolve up to sentience. So we would start with our little areas of water to dominate, then larger and larger areas until we eventually, either, evolved, or ran into each other.

 

That way we could go through history over the course of a few months and...yeah.

 

 

(Well it is more that Hegemony has slowly been sliding into death for some time now..)

[Seraphi]

You mentioned Spore. Instawin in my eyes.

 

I vote for whatever Archi said.

[Retech]

Spore is definitely insta-win. I agree with Archi.

[archimage_a]

What! Spore was terrible. You play through 1 very dull game, 2 starts good and then gets impossible and then 1 that requires no real stratagy at all...Then you get into space and find that you can't play with anything decent and everything costs money and takes up energy...It just gets dull, repetative, boring and requires no real stratagy at all...Even the expansion pack got old within an hour of playing...I was expecting something a little less...scripted...something a bit more open plan...actually interacting with the natives rather than just doing the same mission for 20 different planets.

[Seraphi]

You completely miss the point. Spore isn't really about the main missions or anything, it's about being able to create whichever abomination of nature you happen to like today, giving it a laser, and then...well, that's about it.

 

True, they could have made it more open and given more options in the adventure editor, but Maxis apparently is lazy. They also need more parts.

 

But I digress, and we've drifted so far off topic my brain is beggining to numb.

[archimage_a]

Spore might be good as a desktop toy but for a serious game I expect something a little more....finished.

Anyway bed"

[Nero]

Never played Spore, looked like crap to me.
