The Swarm (SG)
« on: June 18, 2019, 11:40:35 am »

The last thing you remember is, well, nothing. You quickly made a nest, and got more to help you grow and gathered some biomatter for a ‘rainy day.’ You are the Swarm, the Swarm is you.

This is an SG about building up your swarm to untold heights on a dreary little planet and maybe one day to the rest of the universe(if this game goes that long it will be a miracle). Some things you might want to know:
Spoiler: Pop (click to show/hide)
Spoiler: Resources (click to show/hide)
Spoiler: Buildings (click to show/hide)
Spoiler: Upgrades (click to show/hide)
More to be added when discovered.



Your current surroundings give you a decent amount of potential biomatter to work with. Your swarm has 1000 individuals in it and you have 10 biomatter stocked up in your first nest.  Your swarm allocation can be messed with. How do you wish to proceed?

The Swarm:
Pop: 1000 total (10% soldiers, 50% harvesters, 20% breeders, 10% thinkers, 10% tinkers)
   100 soldiers(lvl1)
   500 harvesters(bringing in 50 biomass)
   200 breeders(growing 400 pop)
   100 thinkers(getting 1 UP)
   100 tinkers(getting 1 BP)
Buildings: 1 Nest
Upgrades: n/a
Resources:
   Biomatter: 10
   UP: 0
   BP: 0

How much biomatter does each pop require?

100 pop requires 1 biomatter.

OK then:
-split new pop evenly between soldiers, breeders, thinkers and builders
-start building evolution chambers
-send half the soldiers to explore our surroundings

+1 to this, if surroundings are safe enough, send some harvesters too

Is there a technology tree we can see?
If no, how will we know what we can spend UP on?

We don't have any BP, we cannot build yet

You send out scouts to explore your surroundings. The Swarm itself is in the middle of a wooded area, the nearest ‘sentient’ are in the west and it looks like family homes. A bit farther away, distance wise, to the north is a village and it looks like there are about 100 residents. Even farther away to the east is another village and it looks like there are about 60 residents. About the same distance away as the eastern village, to the south is another village with about the same about a residents as the eastern village. After all the scouting was done you noticed 400 new swarmlings, you divided them evenly between everyone except the harvesters. Speaking of harvesters they increased your stock of biomatter significantly. You think about building an evolution chamber, except your tinkers have not worked enough for you to build it.

How do you wish to proceed?

The Swarm:
Pop: 1400 total (10% soldiers, 50% harvesters, 20% breeders, 10% thinkers, 10% tinkers)
   200 soldiers(lvl1)
   500 harvesters(bringing in 50 biomass)
   300 breeders(growing 600 pop)
   200 thinkers(getting 2 UP)
   200 tinkers(getting 2 BP)
Buildings: 1 Nest
Upgrades: n/a
Resources:
   Biomatter: 50
   UP: 1
   BP: 1


Yes I used both votes because RON's plan is what I prefer you do, unless you really don't want to do multiple things each turn.
