Scout out EVERYONE edition
Hello everyone and welcome to ShitterNormie's Machine Civ part 8!
>What's happening in the civ Shitter?
Excellent question anon! We are the head AI of a group of drones and multi-purpose machines. Remember anon...if the main AI is destroyed the civ is lost!
>Where are we Shitter?
We are located in the side of a volcano. Our base (which can be given a new name) was built by our old masters: The gnomes. They're dead now because of orcs. But here we are! We are a large super computer that is position in the center of the main room of the volcano-side base. However, we have developed a battle suit that we can travel around in. So far the current rooms we have are 1 door leading to the outside world, 1 drone building facility, 1 machine building facility, 1 steel mine, 1 generator room, 1 Machine of Burden building facility, 1 Copybot building facility and 1 locked room. We only have one current ally at the moment: the gnolls who have been graced with our gift of being transformed into a superior mechanical version.
>Did anything happen last time Shitter?
Yes anon! The civ started out slow like usual but picked up later on like it always does! We managed to have our Gnollbots form a religion around gracing the worthy races with the blessing of mechanization and worshiping "The Mechanical Mum", we built a new unit: The Trollbot and got a new special character: Santa Trollbot, #6 accidentally killed 5 of his brothers in a mine collapse but was later upgraded to be an amazing bard (any action that #6 is involved with adds +1 to the roll). We also spied on all of the surrounding races and found out many things! The Orcs in the northern plains are obsessed with large, black, heavy, poorly crafted armor and the size of their teeth. They also live in many small tribes and keep "Rhinoceros Pouncers" as pets. The elves to the east shot at us before we could get any real information out of them. The crabmen to the south were too far away and we got jumped by a wild Pond Stalker before we could find anything out about them. The environment down there is full of gigantic coral plateaus and is a sandy plain littered with many small ponds.
>How do I get started!?!?!?
Just suggest two actions at the end of the IMMEDIATE CHECKUP. All choices' success will be determined by a 1d20 roll that I will do on my desk and tell you guys. (Rolled 15,2)

>>44330490
>1
Begin researching the Pond stalker...for upgrading
>2
Maybe replace the casualties of #6's incident
>>44330531
Shit you're fast. Usually takes 5 minutes for someone to show up
Oh boy I've been waiting all day for this.
So what about that bot repair facility I recommended last time? Did anyone else like that idea?
>>44330575
I like that Idea, ill vote for that to get things going.
>>44330531
Supporting.
Could we research caltraps and landmines to deal with the Orc mounts? Or is there a better way of dealing with them?
(Rolled 18,7)
One corpse down one more to go. Research is put into a pond stalker robot. As it turns out the pond stalker is completely waterproof and relies on surprise despite its size. The PSB should be covered in a waterproof latex covering. The covering makes the PSB look jet black with glowing orange eyes and the occasional glowing bulb that sticks out from the PSB's body. The silent but deadly part is still being worked on. (Pond Stalker Copybot research 50%). While you were working on the PSB you remember that the same creature that you are studying killed two of your little inferno bots. Speaking of which you might want to build a repair facility so that you can cheaply repair your bots. Due to the limited expanding possibilities of your base you have to just add repair facilities onto the existing building machines. It still works but you were only able to build a repair facility for the drones. (+1Drone building/repairing facility)

You certainly can't keep adding onto your current base. After all, it is only SO big. A few of your advanced grabber drones are sent outside to skirt around the edges of the volcano and see if there is anyplace where you can hollow out a new room. To say the least their voyage was less than successful. Apparently there are still wild trolls the wander the molten wastes and your advanced grabber drones aren't exactly the best at fighting. Honestly they suck posterior at fighting. Their mangled bodies are drug back in and the troll who was responsible is nowhere to be seen. (-5 advanced grabber drones)
^"HO HO HO! That fleshy troll is certainly on the naughty list! He gets TWO lumps of coal!"
Oh. Santa Trollbot has recently been referring to his claws as "lumps of coal". Despite all of the trouble that trolls have given you you decide that Trollbots are different and should be built. Of course, the recent death of their brothers is a little disheartening to say the least. Only an average amount of Trollbots are produced. (+3 Trollbots, -40 steel, -20 copper)

What would you like to accomplish now (2 actions)?
Really enjoying these easy gift box captchas
>>44331584
>1
Research a way of boosting a grav repulsers to enable sustained flight, for spy drone development
>2
Develop a long range radar system
>>44331584
Those naughty trolls who hinder our construction should get their lumps of coal. Send out Santa trollbot and the Krampus crew (the other trollbots) to deal with them then try again to break new ground for expansion.
>>44331625
I dig it
>>44331633
Also this
>>44331625
>>44331633
Both of these are great ideas. However, there are only two actions per turn. Please narrow it down to two
>>44331777
Punishment then, so this doesn't happen again.
And the radar, so we have better protection of our base
>>44331814
A fair compromise, hopefully this will pull moral back up feeling secure again.
>>44331851
Perfect
for future research, can we upgrade/develop/build something so we have more actions?
>>44332013
Maybe. I'll probably just allow another action after a certain point.
(Rolled 15,11[+1])
Revenge is on your agenda. How DARE one of those dim-witted monsters touch NO LESS kill five of your babies. Santa Trollbot and his band of brutal Brits are sent to track down the troll who was responsible and give him an early Christmas present. There is one problem, they have no idea on which troll did it. So what do they do? Santa Trollbot and his crew simply killed every troll they saw! The troll population is now dangerously low in the magma wastes.
^"MERRY CHRISTMAS YOU SOFT-SKINNED JEW!"
"I say! By the queens' saggy tit! These here Yankees don't even stand right a chance!"
The main reason for your drones' death is apparent. Their lack of perception. To fix this you decide that it's best if you research some sort of internal radar that you can implement into your drones and have them be more aware of their surroundings. (Radar research 25%)

DUBS
If at first you don't succeed, try, try again. These words have never become more apparent as you try expanding your base again. While the side of the volcano yielded no results your drones thought of something else. "Why not repurpose the troll cave?" This idea didn't seem half bad as you began to do just that. The Gnollbots donate some iron (DUBS) that allows you to make the savage cave look more like a metallic dome. The troll cave has plenty of room as well as its own iron mine. (Iron is more bountiful than steel is but it is weaker.) Currently nobody is station at the Troll cave. Radar tesearch is also continued and it progresses by quite a bit. Actually trying to make the radar fit within your drones' cluttered domes is proving to be quite the task indeed. (Radar research 75%)

Radar research is finished. As it turns out all you had to do was remove the huge block of steel that is used to weigh down your drones to hover level. Luckily, the new radar is heavy enough that it weighs down your drones just as much. (Radar research complete. Radar is implemented into all current units. -10 steel, -5 copper). Mining is also attempted by your gnolls. The gnollbots barely get any iron. As it turns out, none of your gnolls have any mining equipment. All of it was melted down in the construction of the giant, metal throne and Troll cave 2.0. The Gnollbots had to claw at the iron to get it out of the mine's walls. (+30 iron, +5 copper)

Elves have magic. We can't compete with flamboyant treehuggers and their magical pets as of now, and we don't even know how large they are. They hate dwarves, and we're kinda not that different from those.
I say we take them as a formidable foe and address the situation when we're done with lesser beings like crabs and orcs. We still don't know what else is out there, so we might get a new way to deal with them over time.

NAT 20
With the new information that you have just received 30 iron pick axes are made and sent to the Gnollbots. Honestly, should have known that they didn't have anything to mine with. Oh well. (-30 iron, +30 iron pick axes). Research is a key part to a main AI's life. So what do you do? Research. Well you would of done that if Santa Trollbot hadn't kicked up a key. Apparently it had just been laying on the ground this whole time. Weird that you never noticed it (NAT 20. This key is then used on the locked door and it opens. Inside is a large vehicle building facility with two types of vehicles. A motorbike that your old masters must have used. They can only seat humanoid figures at the moment. The other vehicle that can be built is a drilling machine. A humanoid figure sits in its cockpit and mining gets accomplished at an astoundingly fast pace. Truly a lucky find.

What would you like to accomplish now (2 actions)?
>>44333937
Mine steel with the new Drilling Machine!
Distribute the guns we have to the remaining gnollbots so they can train up too.
>>44333976
Can this drill be used to expand our base?
>>44334163
Yes. Not sure why you would tho. Troll Cave 2.0 is still empty and is completely fortified and ready to use. You can still do it though
>>44333937
Modify the drilling machines into drilling bots
>>44334240

We should start filling troll cave.
So
Why don't we build like... hmm... Ideas guys? What should we do with Troll Cave 2.0?
>>44334333
More repair stations, we can only repair drones right now right?
>>44334448
good point. More repair stations for all
also, perhaps work on a ambassador bot? Something that looks like a filthy organic. So they are less off put by us?
Get what I mean?
>>44334333
Oh! Oh! How about we make it a temporary resource base, while slowly connecting it to the mother base by underground caves? We could have a whole mechanical complex down there!
>>44334333
>>44334448
Soooooo....make Troll Cave 2.0 into a repair station for troops? It is close to Orc and elf territory so it could also be used to repair warriors. Makes sense
>>44334539
Yes
Turn Troll Cave 2.0 an omni repair station for all bots.
Research a perfect robot bot? Something necronish? Or would more trollbots be better?
Thoughts, my fellow machines?
>>44334625
Huge digger bots. We then tunnel under ork camps and then collapse the tunnels burring them in a pre-made grave.
>>44334681
Sweet mother of fuck
Thats so insane it just might work
>>44334625
I'd like to correct my self, I meant 'combat bot'
I have no idea where robot bot came from.
I shall run a scan my self for imperfections and return to you with a new platform
>>44334681
Now I want to try it. I'm guessing 10 rounds of research and all our mountain worth of steel, but it MIGHT work and it'd be beautiful.
>>44335005
I underestimated the size of the gigantic digging bots I'm assuming. I was thinking elephant sized.
(Rolled 5,19)
Your main base is starting to become a little crowded. Especially with the huge corpse in the main room. You decide that it's finally time to expand. 2 humanoid machines, 5 laser drones, 1 Trollbot, 6 advanced grabber drones, 6 inferno drones, and 8 gunner drones are sent to Troll cave 2.0. You of course leave all of your special characters at the main base. It goes pretty well but one huge problem seems to have arisen. Whenever your machines arrive they are greeted with a small tunnel in the back of the cave. Emerging from the hole is some sort of rat thing. The rat thing shrieks upon spotting you, throws down some sort of glass ball that explodes into green gas (which doesn't affect your machines), and attempts to run away. The poor thing tripped on his tail and got captured by the humanoid machine known as #5. He was then attached to the wall with welded metal and the tunnel was repaired with metal as well. The rat-thing fainted but you assume that it won't be too hard to interrogate him. Research is also put into gigantic drilling machines. Should be easy enough. Just make it bigger!

Try to be nice about it at first. Maybe this wretched little thing didn't mean any harm and was merely overwhelmed by our mechanical glory and lost all sense. If he doesn't cooperate, disable the empathy subroutines.

Maybe we have a Rat-thing civilization living under us. LONGING FOR THE GLORY OF THE MACHINE
>>44335434
Let's keep it alive until we can infect it
>>44335465
I wonder if we could develop a slow acting parasite bot so if we sent him back infected there would be plenty of time for the infection to spread before the symptoms caught on. We could even send him back with some of our platinum. Being financially sound makes a fleshy more appealing to other fleshies right?

Well the most sensible thing to do is to interrogate this rat-thing. As the rat-thing reawakens one of your humanoid machines talks to him.

"Quiet down rat-thing"
>"I'm a skaven thank you ve-ry MUCH!"
"Alright. Skaven. Listen. I just want to ask you some questions. For the moment I have no reason to kill you. We can be allies. The name is Five"
>"Rad-Stabber"
"Alright Rad-Stabber first question. What were you doing in our new base?"
>"I don't have to tell you anything"
"Trollbot screaming" (DUBS)
>"OH GOD! ALRIGHT ALRIGHT ILL TELL YA! I'm a scout. The trolls in this cave have been unusually quiet so the council sent me to search the cave. Could have been a useful outpost you know?"
"Alright. What was that thing you threw at us?"
>"We call them rad-balls down in the underway. Filled with radioactive gas. Most things due from it. Guess you metal-men don't breathe. Noted"
"Where does that tunnel lead?"
>"Leads to the skaven underway. Full of skaven, highly radioactive, and good luck walking two feet without finding a knife in your back."
"Why aren't you running away right now?"
>"You've proven your dominance. Us skaven pretty much automatically listen to anyone who's bigger and smarter than us. Better than dying us know? Now can I leave?"
"I'll think about it"

Oh, and >>44334681
Do that.
>>44335630
Strike a deal with the little Skaven. Make them trade this radioactive trash for something we have, and bring in one of the rats for research. They got radioactive shit, we could draw power from that.
Also put our drills to work and mine! We have 0 Steel!
>>44335639
I know that is more than one action, but thats the long term goal. If all are in agreement that is.
>>44335630
>>44335639
Send the skaven with an envoy informing the skaven leaders they are now a vessel of the Machine Empire.
And build more trollbots for the coming war with the orcs should the undermining plan fail to kill all of them.
>>44335697
>>44335678
Acutally we probably should mine more steel to make those troll bots shouldn't we? Heh.
>>44335630
Infect the skaven with a GPB and turn him into a bot
>>44335697
>>44335717
So much to do, so little time!
>>44335730
This
>>44335730
>>44335743
Wouldn't we need to research the skaven first?
>>44335730
Copybots need natural and technological research, so we'd need to capture a skaven and observe them in their nature habitat
>>44335769
Also my vote's for having an envoy meet the skaven leader(s) and mining
>>44335813
Just as a warning. Your units are very shiny. Skaven love shiny things. Might want to research models that don't get ripped off so easily. Your envoy might be scattered all across the underway by the time they reach the council
>>44335813
And if anything happens to this envoy
RELEASE THE TROLLBOTS
>>44335842
Mine and strike a deal. No underground adventures for now, it'd be stupid going in a hole we know nothing about.
>>44335842
Hmmm. Maybe we should just go in all guns blazing, the skaven said that these fleshies automatically listen to those bigger and better than them so a display of power might just subdue them all
>>44335871
Okay we write up a message to the rat thing leaders, telling them they belong to us now, and will send us a 6 males and 6 females for us to stud- I mean uh... work... with... yeah that.
and mine. Mining is good.
>>44335766
>>44335769
We have a captured one right now...
>>44335903
Not sure that's the best way to go. The seem willing(ish) to cooperate and we already have war brewing with the orcs. Rather not risking fighting wars on multiple fronts if subduing the skaven goes bad.
>>44335923
Maybe include a shiny incentive. Like a single laser pistol
>>44335941
True, I would say we should just send the skaven back with a message to it's leaders but we wouldn't know if he delivered it or not. Maybe just take the skaven hostage for now and go mining?
>>44336006
I have a plan to prevent that. Don't worry you guys got dubs again
>>44335938
With the gnolls (if am not mistaken) we had to observe them in their natural habitats before we could start the copybot research.

"Just to make sure you tell the truth we'll attach this bomb onto your chest."

"Don't worry it won't detonate as long as you tell the truth"
The bomb was then infused into Rad-Stabber's chest and he was released. Little did he know it was just the trollbot's internal radar. Fucking idiot. (DUBS). Mining is done on all of your fronts.

Unlike your bots you are more focused but you can only get so much accomplished by yourself. (PSC natural research 65%, PSC technical research 65%). An eye drone (that is painted black of course) is sent to scout out the orcs' movement and daily life. The daily life of an Orc is recorded.

>The men leave with half of the pouncers to go hunting for more meat. Yesterday's pouncers are switched out for today's. Pouncers are switched out every two days to keep them energized
>While the men are gone the Orc women craft heavy armor, swords, shields, and axes
>While the men and women are busy doing that the spare pouncers sleep
>While the pouncers do that the Orc children work in the mines infer the whip of an overseer. All Orc children work in the mines
>The Orc men return from their hunt and eat from the dinner, communist stew
>The nightly orc wrestling competitions are held after dinner
>Right before bed all orcs spend time training their pouncers and teaching their kids how to smith and/or hunt
>Everyone goes to sleep for 4 hours while the spare pouncers guard the village

What would you like to accomplish now (2 actions)?
>>44337013
So it looks to me like the best time to strike would be during/after the nightly wrestling competitions since macho man randy orc would be tired from giving out slim jims.
>>44337013
Okay, so we got a few options here
I would first say we do the 'dig their village out from under them'
but if thats out of question, we wait until night time, as we are machines we do not need to rest, so we invade at night, in full force. If we want to be sneaky/smart, we dig in through the mines. Take the children hostage. Tell them that if they do not submit to the glory of the machine we will kill all the children.
Failing at that, PURGE EVERYTHING.
Thoughts?
>>44337056
Continue research. I mean it's got to be out of livers now, Right?
Did we get a head count on the Orcs?
Build gigantic drilling machines.
>>44337088
No we strike the camp while the men are away then hide the bodies and ambush the men when they return
>>44337113
This plan is assuming that orcs care about their children whom they use for slave labor
>>44337133
150 males
100 females
50 kids
60 Rhinoceros pouncers
>>44337088
also I vote for (once again) trying to finish up the research and building guns for the remaining gnolls and we need more flavour posts so can we have santa trollbot give #11 a shiny crown (we can spare the platinum I think) and give #6 a good ol' slap with some liver
>>44337176
Whats our head count?

>>44337218
Read the unit recap. Orcs really suck at strategic fighting and only use Melee
>>44337113
Completely forgot about the tunnelling plan. I like this plan except with the hostage taking because of >>44337154
>>44337270
We need to start mass producing units. combat units.
>>44337245
>>44337133
I change from build drilling machines to research better altitude for our ranged. It'll be a slaughter if our gun drones can rain death upon them from out of their reach.
Know how you're all hyped?! No more fun. It's 1:07 central here. I need to go beddy-bye. We'll continue this tomorrow at 7
>>44337322
In the morning?
>>44337322
Ok, g'night.
>>44337322
Ack we're being blue-balled. Well enjoy sleep again shitter. Toodles.
>>44337334
p.m.
you lot want to plan while Shitter sleeps?
>>44337383
Sure, I can go for a little bit of planning why not. Personally I think either we go balls deep with the tunnelling plan or we can play it safe and gun'em down like dogs from afar (our gnolls are well-armed after all)
>>44337436
Why not both?
We have our Gnolls gun them down up top
and secretly dig in from the mines and U N L E A S H T H E T R O L L S
A war on two fronts. At night
Get some radioactive bombs from the rats. Lob them all over the palce, it won't harm us so whats the big deal?
Do we have speakers? Can we blast music to make it fucking confusing as shit for the Orks?
>>44337518
I love it but not sure everyone else would be down for such a dangerous act also we don't know for certain if the skavens will form an alliance with us yet and I'm sure we could fit #6 with some kick-ass speakers (maybe hooked up to a Machine of Burden?)
>>44337518
>We hear drums, drums in the deep. They are coming.
>>44337548
>we don't know for certain if the skavens will form an alliance with us yet
You say that as though they have a chose in the matter.
>>44337628
Very true and since we'll likely be assimilating the skavens before facing the orcs we'll hopefully have plenty of time to get the necessary troops to take down the orcs rather cleanly followed by a course of erasing any sign that they lived there.
>>44337667
I'm all for genocide with a side of culture destruction, BUT orks are big, dumb, and good at smiting.
We so I say we exterminate all the males, and most of the females. Take the children in with some of the females to tend to them. Observe them in their natural habitat, and assimilate them into the collective. no need to waste what could be something valuable.
>>44337734
This sounds like a reasonable plan.
>>44337762
Cool. Anyone else that is still around, are yee in favor?
>>44337734
While normally I'd agree, the orcs are the ones who killed our masters so it was kind of our goal to erase them from existence of course we could change our ways. Anyway I'm heading off it's 6am here and I miss my bed.
>>44337734
No we need to completely destroy all Orcs we can observe them and learn their fighting style for a bit but ultimately orcs are the enemy
>>44338074
They do not need to be the enemy! They can be our servents! We can bend them to our will, and consume them!
We can erase every thing that they once were and make them us!
Ever play Mass Effect? It'll be like the Collectors. The ultimate insult, and the ultimate sign that we have surpassed our creators.
