Title: Dio's First AAR
Post by: Dio on August 25, 2013, 09:47:24 PM

I was wondering if anyone is interested in seeing me play a customized random map game with my newly released alternate original seven faction package?

You're asking if we'd like another AAR?

Yessir; yes we would,

First a question, just what does AAR mean?

After Action Report.  The thing Green1's doing.  And ete and Jarl -and Kilkakon, but not often enough.

Would you rather that I play SMAC or SMAX? It does not make that huge of a difference to me.

Either or. I prefer SMAX because of more features, but its up to you.

He AARs like wildfire, which does a lot to catch up with your painstakingly-crafted AAR epic.

Of course. Mind, I respect Green and he was the reason I started that AAR (and keep on to continue it) though as you said: My AAR has more similarities to an epic then a gameplay session.

But I like playing without most of the additional features that comes with SMAX. I will play the original SMAC with Kyrub's SMAC AI patch on transcend. The settings will be a huge planet with 30-50% ocean, with moderate erosive forces, average cloud cover, abundant native life, and the following custom rules.

This is the faction I will be playing as. Also, do not expect super tactics or staged games. That means I might lose.

Title: Re: Would anyone be interested in seeing me play a customized random game?
Post by: Dio on August 25, 2013, 11:20:01 PM

This is my starting position. So far, it looks pretty good. Hopefully no insane AI's are nearby...

Title: Re: Would anyone be interested in seeing me play a customized random game?

End of turn 1. So far so good.

Title: Re: Would anyone be interested in seeing me play a customized random game?
Post by: Dio on August 25, 2013, 11:24:58 PM

Am I updating to often? Any ways, encountered my first mindworm boil.

Title: Re: Would anyone be interested in seeing me play a customized random game?
Post by: Dio on August 25, 2013, 11:28:52 PM

Got Industrial Base from a supply pod. Also, killed my first mindworm boil.

Title: Re: Would anyone be interested in seeing me play a customized random game?
Post by: Dio on August 25, 2013, 11:31:33 PM

I am going to research centauri ecology. Also, am exploring the landmass looking for a decent base site.

Title: Re: Would anyone be interested in seeing me play a customized random game?
Post by: Dio on August 25, 2013, 11:35:43 PM

Built my first base on top of a sensor array. Working on recreation commons at great conclave.

Miriam is a wise choice :D

Post by: Dio on August 25, 2013, 11:38:30 PM

I am now working towards Doctrine: Security so that I can get Perimeter Defenses and the command Nexus. I suspect that I am not alone on this landmass.

Title: Re: Would anyone be interested in seeing me play a customized random game?
Post by: Dio on August 25, 2013, 11:42:10 PM

Having finished the recreation dome, Great conclave is now working on The Weather Paradigm. The Lord's Coming is working on the prototype of Steel Sentientels. Meanwhile, after a scout rover got eaten by mindworms, I am attempting to continue to explore my land.

Title: Re: Would anyone be interested in seeing me play a customized random game?
Post by: Dio on August 25, 2013, 11:45:54 PM

After my scout rover got eaten by more mindworms, my former managed to escape unharmed. I planned to move in a colony pod but it encountered even more mind worms and retreated back to The Lord's coming.

Title: Re: Would anyone be interested in seeing me play a customized random game?
Post by: Dio on August 25, 2013, 11:48:10 PM

I met Zakharov. Suprisingly, he did not want to kill me on sight. So we signed a treaty.

Title: Re: Would anyone be interested in seeing me play a customized random game?
Post by: Dio on August 25, 2013, 11:52:37 PM

I learned my planned base site (yellow circle) is inside archon territory and thus unusable. I also just finished the weather paradigm.

Title: Re: Would anyone be interested in seeing me play a customized random game?
Post by: Dio on August 26, 2013, 12:00:59 AM

Working on raising land so that I can build another base. Also, the Great Conclave is working on a Command Center. I am currently researching Doctrine: Security.

You spread your bases pretty far... You must optimize them pretty well I am guessing.

Lady Skye and her green freaks have started building the Human Genome and the Merchant Exchange secret projects. In addition, Santiago and her sociopathic minions have somehow ended up on top right now. On the home front, my formers have made steady progress on getting the site ready for colonization.

Title: Re: Would anyone be interested in seeing me play a customized random game?
Post by: Dio on August 26, 2013, 12:07:56 AM

My newest base, The Valley of the Faithful, has been built.

Title: Re: Would anyone be interested in seeing me play a customized random game?
Post by: Dio on August 26, 2013, 12:14:26 AM

A former got surprise murdered by mindworms. Then those mindworms died fighting a scout patrol. Move my other former into position for getting another base site prepared. Unforunately, the nature looney Lasy skye finished the human Genome project. However,  the great conclave is almost done with the merchant exchange and I have just finished researching Doctrine: Securty(DocSec=Doctrine Loyalty in effects on game).

Post by: Dio on August 26, 2013, 12:17:45 AM

I beat the gaiains to the Merchant Exchange; even though I had to rush build it. Now both the gaians and the keepers are working on the Planetary Datalinks.

Zakharov wants me to help him fight off deidre and her mindworms. I politely decline but he does not take it to well.

Title: Re: Would anyone be interested in seeing me play a customized random game?
Post by: Dio on August 26, 2013, 12:24:15 AM

Poor CEO Morgan :(. He was captured and eradicated by the nature loony Gaians. May his soul rest in a gold plated, satin covered coffin :D.

Post by: Dio on August 26, 2013, 12:28:43 AM

My newest base is the Glory of God. Unforunately, Lal his evil bureaucrats beat my to the Command Nexus. However, I have begun working on the Empath Guild and am currently trying to expand my land.

Title: Re: Would anyone be interested in seeing me play a customized random game?
Post by: Dio on August 26, 2013, 12:35:06 AM

Unforunately, the gaian's have killed the archon's and are now on my doorstep. Hopefully, they will be peaceful. Did I mention that the gaian AI is quite militarily vicious when their willing to use force setting is on high?

Title: Re: Would anyone be interested in seeing me play a customized random game?
Post by: Dio on August 26, 2013, 12:47:13 AM

So the gaians declared war on me. I met the Spartans, signed a treaty with them and traded a tech for superconductors and gatling lasers.

Title: Re: Would anyone be interested in seeing me play a customized random game?
Post by: Dio on August 26, 2013, 12:57:51 AM

They captured valley of the faithful and renamed it Forest Primeval :'(. However, I then got a probe team in and stole high energy chemistry from them. I also finished the empath guild and am working on a prototype gatling laser infantry. I got notified that the Spartan base Hero's waypoint was taken by a mindcontrol probe by the gaians.

Title: Re: Would anyone be interested in seeing me play a customized random game?
Post by: Dio on August 26, 2013, 01:07:36 AM

Ughh! The gaians have captured another one of my bases. It does not look to good.

Title: Re: Would anyone be interested in seeing me play a customized random game?
Post by: Dio on August 26, 2013, 01:24:23 AM

I lost to those stupid gaians and am considering starting another game as soon as I do some things.

Title: Re: Would anyone be interested in seeing me play a customized random game?
Post by: Buster's Uncle on August 26, 2013, 01:45:00 AM

Stupid Gaians.  I wanted a long game.   ;popcorn  Excellent while it lasted, and that's a fact.  ;b;

Oh - and I missed that you thought I was throwing you in with Kil - naw. I bust on Kil for fun.

Also, his LE AAR is way too slow.
