The Fifth Race Quest
There we go. Militia, scouts, and work crews hired in Plan Evil. I'm picking up ONE militia and FIVE scouts, though -- I think that good scouts and good troops are both going to be long-term important as we expand across the planet, but right now it's information that will get us more and... -
The Fifth Race Quest
Lack of available actions or points, I think? If you can find a way to fit more human activity into my plan, I'd be cool with that, so long as it cost nothing which is already there. PS: If you could also phrase things in a less confrontational way, that'd be super. Thanks. -
The Fifth Race Quest
They didn't all get eated [sic] last turn. They'll live until we can build a tenament -- which we'll probably grow elsewhere, near the next hatchery, which will be near the Trinium mine site. Plus, most importantly, we'll probably have Zerglings. That means scouts, workers, militia, and... -
The Fifth Race Quest
That's why it's in the evildice vote, which is the best vote. In fact, both are in the best vote -- scour the jungle for Zergling biomass, and educate the Humans. Humans are unlike Zerg, and educating every Human is a great idea -- for reasons which have nothing to do with their Zerg... -
The Fifth Race Quest
Man what? Unique Zerg like Abathur aside, units are heavily specialized in actual game play. Drones do drone stuff, Overlords do Overlord stuff, casters do caster stuff, and Zerglings rush in their own special way. -
The Fifth Race Quest
-- Phase 1 -- [X] Morph new Queen (-5 RP, -1 larva) [X] Morph new Drone x17 (-5.66 RP, -17 larva) Drones: 11 +17 = 28 [X] Hire: Work Crew x4 (-400 civilians) [X] Hire: Militia (-100 civilians, -1 RP) [X] Hire: Scouts x5 (-100 civilians, -1 RP) [X] Work Crews: Make Lead Mining Camp (-1RP and -4... -
The Fifth Race Quest
SamPardi - are Attack Claws for all units, or just for Queens (i.e. our personal unit)? It looked like it was just Queens but if I'm wrong then it's a lot better than I thought. -
The Fifth Race Quest
Ooo, updated rules! Okay, gonna re-work my post soon... We are probably one or two turns from "agile quadrupeds" which might be zerglings. I reeeeeeally hope they are zerglings. I super want zerglings. -
The Fifth Race Quest
SECRET HIDDEN ACTION DETECTED!!! Having 2 Queens sounds significantly better than just having one. Question: can we use the same drones for gathering stuff in Phase 1 and performing actions in Phase 2? Or must we use each drone for only one thing per turn, rather than one thing per phase... -
The Fifth Race Quest
Scouting (direction) was one of the Drone actions. By the way, this is why I recommend that, going forward, you use a prefix for every action type: [_] General: Build more Overlords (5 RP, 10 larvae) [_] General: Infest the Suborbital Platform (12 RP, 12 larvae) [_] Drone: Scout... -
The Fifth Race Quest
Yeah, from the notes before, the drones can detect minerals & such (scouts can't), but the scouts are much better at finding & avoiding monsters. Having both is very likely to save us drones, which seems really important because an economic snowball gives exponential returns for every early... -
The Fifth Race Quest
Well, let me say this instead, then: I suspect that Dance Troupes will not give us actions which are more relevant to our current problems than the actions which I suspect we can get from Scouting Parties. You're probably right about getting separate actions from each type of actors. But... -
The Fifth Race Quest
Hmm, so now we're more limited by actions than points. That's a welcome change. Some notes: - We are currently action-limited. More action is a win. - Picking Militia last time gave us a new batch of actions. It's my hope that building Scouting Parties will likewise give us a new batch of... -
The Fifth Race Quest
Er, does that mean we have the 2 RP visible in the post at this time, or do we have 4 RP somehow? If we have 4 RP, can we make more than just 3 Drones at a time? -

The Fifth Race Quest
General Orders [X] Evolve 3 Drones (Costs 1 RP and 3 Larvae) [X] Organize Scouting Parties (Costs 1 RP) [X] Increase Creep EDIT: Ooo, our Resource Points got corrected to 2 instead of 1! We can make drones and create scouting parties, too! Militia [X] Pest Control Agile quadruped... -
The Fifth Race Quest
That might be a good idea, depending on what the scouts find. We certainly do want to kill stuff. -
The Fifth Race Quest
I like getting an immediate benefit which is multiplied across our exponentially increasing number of Drones. I do agree that Tenaments ought to be next, after we boost our Drones. -
The Fifth Race Quest
Neat. It sounds like scouts might be more effective at keeping our people safe than a militia would be, at least until such time as we can arm our militia with better tech. -
The Fifth Race Quest
- Creep is really good. It's amazing. We want more of it. Everyone seems to be in agreement about that. - Drones are better than work crews. Making as many as possible is a good idea. (Improved Drones are even better than drones.) - Militias ... I don't want unmixed militias. I want combined...
