Morgan Le Fay attacks Nix!
Morgan Hit: 5 = 5
Nix Evade: 2, +1 = 3

It's a hit!

Damage roll: 3 = 3

Nix has 32/65 Health left!

Morgan Le Fay targets the idling Samurai, but the missile kinda errs from the trajectory and only brushes the armored foreigner.

The savage crowd chants in unison, demanding more bloodshed, and the commentator agrees! And now the fighting goes into Turn 7!

alt+printscreen works wonky with this game. Imma try with next updoots v;

In the year 2060 of United Nation's Calendar, or as some might it remember more precisely, in 1838 of Chinese New Era, the C.S.S Wu Zetian (masquerading as United Nations spaceship Unity) has been launched toward Alpha Centauri, carrying the strongest, smartest and the best of humanity toward the distant planet.

And now, it has arrived.

Welcome to my Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri playthrough! This will be basically my 3rd game ever in SMAC, so hey it will be still a learning experience for me.

Hop in into your landing pod, because we're soon gonna do...

Update 0: THE PLANETFALL!!


Options! These are the ones I'm comfortable with. What I'm not comfortable with will be the difficulty - from by previous 'Citizen' (easiest) we will play this as Talent (3rd out of 6 difficulties). Earlier I focused on tech, trading with neighbours, keeping them happy, and then rolling technologically and economically into Trascendent victory. I guess this time I will be having some difficulties.


My authocratic/totalitarian/communist inner self devil speaks to me via Chairman Sheng-ji Yang, and so we will play as The Hive!


*fffwwooooOOOOOOOSSHHHhhh...*

In this playthrough instead of usual Huge Planet map that I played previously, I went with custom generated Planet: 30-50% water coverage, medium erosion, planetlife, and so on, huge size.


This is our landing spot. No water in immediate area which is good. Sporadic fungus, and few supply pods in arm's reach. We will send the Scout Patrol and Colony Pod on immediate scouting mission.


Fastest ever I got an Alien Artifact!
On the same turn, the Colony Pod found a hydrology pod - a river was discovered running by The Hive and then south, pretty neat!


We will mix military and science. This way we can trade with Morgan for economy techs and Deidre for ecology techs.

If we find them fast, that's it.


A new town was created; unfortunately as the omniscient Advisor said in the screen I wasn't able to capture, Brother Lal of the Peacekeepers founded the first new city 2 mission years earlier.


Our lone scout was accosted by some ugly bolognese pasta, but managed to repel it and get a level up. Yay!


Our scout went east, and found another pod by the river- wait, Datapod? I don't remember these-


Awww yee. I always have gotten artifacts, resources tiles or energy credits or local maps, but never before a free tech. This is nice!


Our first breakthrough is in Applied Physics. LAZORS PEW PEW PEW.


Of course The University would get the first tech.

They always do.


Our Scout unleashed an earthquake and raised a hill. Also, have this as a map of our current antics in the region. The Colony Pod is moving to a tile just east of those 2 Minerals piles. With river nearby, the city founded there could be a good industrial center in the future.

That's all for now; it's mostly a thread set-up update than anything majorly important

So in my dream tonight I had a recurring theme of the moon cycles whereas me and other Roman Republican peoples around me could travel across continents and centuries.

I don't remember much about first moon cycle, but we transported to China and by the end we exchanged some marble sculptures for chinese books. And the China's leader was named Minister Shu.

During the second moon cycle we transported again to China only to discover that, while we were still stuck in whatever B.C, the Chinese on other hand were having iPads, computers and other modern stuff by now. Oh and VR games (and I played one and it was about being helicopter cop chasing villains between skyscrapers in Hong Kong). We then spent some time discussing the moon cycles with Minister Chang, the leader of China, and they agree to computate some liquid polymers (no idea how those were going to help) and establish a permament mooncycle so we can travel freely between time.

Then happened the third moon cycle but instead of transporting to China proper we were transported to some underground caverns. Some pig-faced orange-tanned (like, too-much-auto-sunbath-cream tanned) aliens with plasma pistols were holding the Chinese hostage. Then they killed an antropomorphized piglet that tried to vouch for their freedom, and we were captured as well. Then they told us to march toward a cauldron in middle of giant firepit. One of the Centurions then pulled out his gladius and began whispering me his secret plan of defeating the pig aliens.

Unfortunately, my alarm clock woke me up in that very moment.
