Gaian Luck
by Mart
Shortly after planetfall, you could review reports about surrounding terrain. There is abundant plant life, fertile soil, rivers and sea coast. Not only you grabbed with Deirdre more landing pods from U.N.S. Unity, but also will be able to establish a colony in a very good location.
Other mission officers could not be reached by radio. They have either equipment malfunction or they did not survive this emergency landing. While regretting loss of life, you are not that worried about getting all those wrong ideas for future of this human colony out of your way.
Just last corrections on the tabview and report will be ready for Lady Deirdre Sky. Living these past days in almost constantly moving escape pods has become unbearable to large portion of the crew. Decisions needed to be made.
This is vanila SMAC game. No expansion!

Transcendence in 2215. Probably could be cut down by several decades with a micro to end all micros. Crucial mistakes were made as I'm not used to microing on this scale anymore*.
I disbanded most formers towards the final SP, but had 56 of them just a few turns before. Maybe not a world record, but still a lot in my opinion.
I'd like to spice it up with some challenge, the AI could as well not exist here. However, I liked it to play the game until the end for a change. It must have been years since the last time I did the Flowering! ;b;
Will comment on the actual gameplay soon.
