Last time we had officially finished moving and took some old world corp installations. That was when things went wrong as we attempted to communicate with an old world AI only to draw the attention of an Old World Black AI. JAL appeared getting erased by said AI only to start a massive war.
We then found ourselves besieged once we shelled the bot armies bases. Our own tactics were used against us as in desperation we had our heroes do all they can and put out a massive bounty against the AI.
Now we struggle to survive even as the war grows ever bigger...

There's some sweet, sweet profit to be made here somewhere. By the way, Genie would you go ahead and remove the bounty from our list of materials?
Bounty:
-4 supply
-20 common contruction mat
-10 rare construction mat
-4 very rare construction mat.
-1 extreme rare construction mat
-20 common mat
-10 rare mat
-4 very rare mat.
-1 extreme rare mat.
Also make sure they know we want at least that one AI's CORE if you're going to cash in on this bounty. Can't make the claim without the proof.

Action 1
Now is a GREAT time fore some live field practice of making repairs while being bombarded.
It is what we planned to do anyway.
Ginny use CopyCat and try to mimic some of the Omitar's ability to make repairs while under fire, and teach it to our own forces/bots.
Action 2
Biggy keep up the bombs, we've got to keep stalling for time until reinforcements show or Jal wins.
Pilot Hero keep up the firepower with our behemoths and tank forces, and your own vehicle of course. Have the Behemoths and heavy tanks buckle down behind cover while any fast/lighter vehicles follow Pilot heros lead.

We're facing bots, yeah? And we're an industrial civ...load up a FUCKTON of magnetized iron filings/sand/etc. into cluster munitions for our artillery and fire into their amassed forces outside our base. It'll get everywhere, they won't be able to get it off, and joints/weapons/etc. will all get jammed as well as possibly sensors and shit. Magnificent.

Reactors have been upgraded. Now we can push them a lot more without problem and their energy usage is more efficient helping deal with how fast they can consume power.
Fires shot upon robotic forces. In response the robotic forces got hit by some strange pulses. We aren't sure what they did and the robot numbers of increased. When they noticed our shields were holding out better the robotic forces blockading us have begun construction on something.

if we were to do that, even as bots, we'd be plopping bases in the middle of monster nests.

The AI is gathering allies with knowledge and using that, I assume. That or they been there from the other robot factions and just started attack us.
Fighting has been, I think, this game's hardest part for us. Our para guard is turtling while the CEO works. Wasting Warband is unlikely to send a big group to help.

They're building something to bring down our shields, which we need to stop.

If nothing else Ginny could try bad assimilation on the fuckers building a shield breaker.
What can we build that will break this damn blockade?
Do the bots have any kind of personal shields? If they don't and we still can't wreck them with plasma, we're in trouble.
>>47932754
There wouldn't happen to be any Maticico bots in the fray, would there?
That plus CEO's codes could potentially provide us with an instant backdoor maybe?
>>47933057
We dont necessarily have to break the blockade, per say.
We just need to survive long enough and distract the enemy while JAL and his Brood take the brunt of their forces.
We've already got Matar Sec and Rejects on the way, plus everyone after our gigantic bounty, AND monsters from Jiggy's bombs.

Rolled 5 (1d100)

"I don't know.'
The other bases are mobilizing their forces attacking the bots. This is made even easier by the fact that most of the monster and zombie forces are being lured into deeper black bot turf.
>>47932873
The black AI according to Ginny is somehow persuading other bot forces to join it. Thereby bypassing that entire problem and getting more to boot.

Choose adviser heroes they'll actually provide guides and advice readily unlike most other heroes.

-Action 1
Biggy, Sarah, Lil P/Big P, and all of our SpecOps squads are to form a strike team and fuck up whatever the bots just built before it does whatever they built it to do.
They can have whatever resources they need/want that we have..
Activate [Redline] [Teleport] [Activate Agent]
Action 2
INCREASE THE BOMBARDMENT on the fucks outside our base. If they still have fucking shields everywhere blasting our shit out the sky then use cluster munitions. Otherwise use electro munitions, I don't care but I want those bastards gone.
Aside:
-Feed the SAMFAPS resources
-Break open our Supply for fuel.

>>47934538
No, save those for th crits. It takes 2 or 3 fatepoints to match a 100 or something.
If we have over 15 Fate points ware we able to spend a number of them to "force a 100"?
Rolled 27 (1d100)

I think that it increases the level of success by one. So if we get a 90+ on a roll then it would act as a crit, I believe.

That's Action 1.
Action 2: Continue digging. Reinforce the trenches and earthworks with a rare construction material.
>>47934452
Normally I would support an expanded version of what I want, but "all of our SpecOps squads" includes both psi and psylocked, which presumably don't mix well.
If we can have those units attack different sides, I guess it could work. But Biggy specifically has a bonus to running solo.

Technically yes that is true its why when used on a crit fail its no longer considered a crit fail.

It would be a false crit at best which isn't as good as a natural 100.
Unless you have a hero who has abilities relating to luck.

Biggy dispatched.
However the expected detonation...happened. However when it went off suddenly a cloaking field went down. Revealing some very nasty bots...who were surrounding Biggy.
"It looks like you fell for our trap! Muwahahaha," cackled a unique looking bot.
"Well shit."
Alert
Our hero unit Biggy is trapped!
WARNING
An hostile army has uncloacked right on our front door!
>>47934622I am in a bit of a tight spot regarding that quest. Its too big for me to keep track of which makes me sad. To continue running it I would have to cut out a lot which is making me hesitate.

We have temporarily refueled ourselves. Meanwhile the bots are bringing their structures backup online. However not before we suffered a massive bombardment of plasma and grey goo along with bots.
Biggy meanwhile is up shit creek with being surrounded and attacked. Despite our best efforts the enemy bombardment surge has pushed our forces back. The large amounts of grey goo is certainly not helping matters.
According to our engineers grey goo is pooling all over the place and traces of it can be found everywhere.

New emergency shields have been constructed however much of our positions have already been overrun and there is grey goo everywhere...

CEO elaborate on this.
What will our reputation be, particularly regarding Rejects and Matar Sec.
>>47936348
We could sacrifice heroes but. . .
These lossess are catastrophic. Bordering explicit threats of civ death catastrophic.
What was supposed to be our first intra-thread double linked nat100 for finding KICKASS bases has turned into a disaster.
Not only have we failed to actually gain from those bases in technology and logistics, we've had our base smashed, unleashed a threat so vast it stals the entire land, and we've had to ransom off our resources to whoever actually manages to end the beast.
Although at this rate, we might as well break those open too because it doesn't look like ANYONE is going to kill Omitar Black.
The Paramiliatries, our primary force, have been defeated.
JAL can't even save us and he was our Plan B.
We don't have a plan C.
Supposing sacrificing a hero does end this, if we don't get those bases and SOME MEASURE of profit this is the worst disaster that has ever befallen us short of civ death.
>>47936394

Rolled 85 (1d100)
To be honest, the option of "getting a couple of you guys out far away and having you lose all your shit" essentially amounts the same as playing a new civ anyway depending upon how much is lost.
I mean, at least if we got to keep most of our tech. . .
But the biggest peeve is that we didn't get ANYTHING from the super bases we found, and fallen so low.
---
Also can't JAL just evacuate us to Reject's camp? It would be better than starting over 100% in a 'far far away' place. We could try to gather our scrambled pieces and at least commit ourselves to helping them like we always wanted to.
Rolled 77 (1d100)
>>47936394
Pretty much. JAL can't save you without turning you into a bandit corp. Or he can move some of your personnel and equipment far away to create a splinter faction.
JAL is actually in an extremely tight spot and the only reason why he is willing to to do this regardless of the cost is because he owes you from being saved from the BOXGenie's forgotten folder.
>>47936441
That would be equal to you turning bandit but without JAL's help. Basically its like if Umbra ever got caught working with zombies redhanded.
>>47936404
This Civ game number one rule is survival. Roll with the punches and make it to the next event. Loosing a hero hurts real bad. Yet all we can hope to do is live and learn from it.
If we make it we need to get better protectors again. Hide behind mercs and build more connections to use.
Granted we can always go out kicking and screaming covered in blood. Well in this case building a wall of shit and swarm the enemy.
>>47936441
I think it's because of the other thing is why we have to go so far way.
>>47936359
Ok JAL, ok...what is it we need for your solution. Lets be a pal to JAL, give him something to be happy about.
>>47936469
Eh, it's mostly that I think few people realize the ramifications of what we just lost.
This was, without a doubt, Genie's most BLESSED civ when it came to resources, heroes, and technologies in all 30+ civs. We might never in our lifetime see this sort of astounding progress again.
130k fucking pop? The next bigges tthing was like 8k or something.
We can live again, and it won't be entirely from scratch but. . .this sucks balls if we don't at least get some tech to make up for this.
We're losing our paramilitary, our resources, our bases. . .we don't even know where we'll end up.We could die here at least seeing the fruits of our imagination used against us. Or die in a ditch in a land far away with no allies to speak of at all.
>>47936463
Will JAL come with us?
Rolled 74 (1d100)
>>47936463
JAL's being a robro. I what to keep fighting with him. Yeah we're going bandit, but it's not like most of our allies aren't bandits anyways.
>>47936518
Well we just keep at it and it will happen again. Yeah it's hard, but new blood and trying new things will keep taking us far.
Yet for now I want to stand and see if we can master this Corp as a bandit.

You know, I really wanted to make friends with other remnants and form an Old World Shadow. But if we go bandit I don't see how we'll ever do that. Wonder if we could unify in some other way?

>>47936585

Our original goal was to become a Bandit Megacorp supplier after all. That's how he even got the name of the Lord of War.
And the Rejects are already bandits to begin with. We only abandoned the bandits because it was prudent considering the Coalition.
>>47936601
I agree, bandits have been good to us.
>>47936585
Will we get dat sweet auto upgrading? We have so much gear our pop isn't using, bandit influence could fix all our military problems...
>>47936628
Our new goal will be the same as our original goal.
Unify the Bandits, get friendly with more Bandit aligned Paramilitary, and keep working with the Rejects until we have a place to call home.
It will be nice to work with Bandits again.
If we're lucky there's a Bandit City here too with a market we can tap into.

You would indeed gain the bandit auto upgrading and other bonuses. After the transition period anyway. Which will take 12 turns.
Afterwards your population and military capacity will be upgraded. Everything else will be downgraded.
You will however gain the bandit auto upgrade ability. Meaning you will only need to spend an action to construct or research something. Once its completed your forces will automatically upgrade themselves at no additional cost.
You will however lose the ability to make more supplies and good actions will be vetoed by your forces automatically. Enjoy your 12 turns of being capable of being good guys and take advantage.
For an idea how to play bandits with Brood auxiliary forces I STRONGLY recommend reading the Brooding Bandits Civ.
At first appearances megacorp and bandit hybrid doesn't seem to be a good idea...but remember this.
Corp manufacturing with auto upgrade is NICE but you know whats even better?
Bandit Morality+corp morality works VERY well together!
As both are more likely then not morally bankrupt!(its just the megacorps like to hide it more!)
How else do you think the bandits have such a surprisingly good manufacturing and research despite their obvious penalties?
Its common knowledge so I will tell you. Its well known that bandits have very little problem doing terrible things to compensate for it. That is why despite their penalties bandits have surprisingly good tech and manufacturing.
This is further amplified by their willingness to use MAD!
By using both a lot they can forcefully and roughly make it so their stats are 'good' in that area.
>>47936780
Hey anon you ever wondered what 'tek bandits' are?
oh yeah do to you going bandit you have discovered a previously unknown(MAD) hero!

Rolled 32 (1d100)
>>47936874
We can also use JAL more freely without worry of rep penalties. That was actually a major drawback when we couldn't so this is great we get to UNLEASH HIM and of course we're going to model oursevles off the brooding bandits.
I'm going to bemoan the downgrades of manufacturing and maybe tech, but we can always improve again. and they were Godly upgraded before by Ginny anyway so maybe it evens out.
Also Genie. . .I don't think we're in the mindset of playing true Bandit Style. Raiding and pillaging isn't our style, hiring others and giving them guns is.
I hope we won't be disadvantaged if we still try to play the True lord of war. The Bandit Supplier! The Merchant of Death dealing weapons and supplies to the scum of the earth.

They are and they are known as 'tek' bandits. Honestly surprised nobody has ever figured that one out. Yeah they are scary as shit a paramilitary player civ once picked a fight with them and it was a really tough fight despite their clear war capacity superiority.
JAL has been given permission.
What happened once was a fuck ton of rumbling...before suddenly growths exploded everywhere and swallowed our structures/forces.
After that...everybody passed out.
When they later awoken..well the bots were gone.
Everything was repaired.
Everything...and everybody looked oddly different.
Everything was oddly quiet.
Gained BANDIT Hybridization.
"JAL," roared the CEO. "WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED?"

>bots responded huge artillery pieces started to arise. they started to fire strange shots that caused our shots to disintegrate.

JAL Brood.
Possesses 3 Hives.
Original Cluster.
Infested Zombie Hive.
Infested Factory.
Unit composition relies upon infested industrial zones and spawning nests to produce troops.
Strong preference for swarm and overwhelming number tactics. For this units are very cheap and mass producible.
Exceeding dangerous not due to numbers but due to carriers of plagues and payloads. Each unit is in fact a kamikaze unit more units equal more deaths equal more payloads going off.
It got so bad that enemy bot forces were regularly routed once they succumbed to the constant plaguing payloads.
If you killed them they went off.
If you didn't kill them they tear your face off.
Only way to win was not to play so Bot forces fled from the field against JAL.
Meanwhile the payloads also had an infesting effect...
Massive amounts of ground has been infested during the fighting JAL ordered it to sink underneath and age. Unknown number of nests are thereby maturing underground just waiting to explode upward.
JAL also recovered vasts amount of carcasses which are being digested.
We don't know much else. Will require research of brood or talking with JAL or Broodmother but even they might not know the answer.

Genie quick question about the brood, would you say they are more zerg or Umbrella Corp Virus Strands? Kinda wanna do some sketches>I love this world you've built brings a tear to my eye to see such love and dedication
>>47938071
Thing about brood is that they are anything, they start off on the microbiological... Scratch that "bio" is incorrect, the microbroodological level otherwise simply known as "infestation" this often acts to change the environment to suit the needs of the future brood spawns. Now depending on "who's" brood you are dealing with it will present in diffrent ways, Jal for instance is brood tech.
Think about the David Duchovny movie "evolution" and you will sort of be on the right track.
>>47931770
Reporting in
Rolled 66 (1d100)
>>47938071Autism anon its autism.
Appearances depend entirely on the different Brood 'strains'. Strains being basically who controls it, who manipulates it, who guides its evolution.
The brood is literally an entire ecosystem down to the smallest microorganisms to the gigantic world sized brood monsters. Everything is designed with a purpose, is made to fulfill a purpose, to work together and form a working ecosystem that is devoted to a certain goal.
As for what goals that depends upon who is in control and Broods literally wage wars with each other over it.
The 'brood strains' is merely a marker that indicates who was in control during that era thereby developing a certain marker strain. As time wears on new controllers take over and adjust the strain to suit their needs thereby leaving their own markers...and so on.
This markers add up even if they are obscured. As those in control have different ideas, personalities, and objectives the Brood under them will naturally change or literally evolve to better do so.
I have shown a couple different strains and each were different in appearance from another. Truth be told is the best way to figure out something is in fact brood requires taking a look at its DNA because the appearances can vary so wildly.
However the DNA doesn't lie and is a dead giveaway for Brood organisms.
Broods will even create massive DNA vaults where they harbor ALL the unique mutations they have harvested and developed. This is to ensure they don't accidentally lose any potentially useful mutations as broods further mutate(for better or worse) and have their DNA strands purposely trimmed.
Such DNA vaults are naturally absurdly valuable to the Broods and they are eager to steal other Brood DNA vaults and add/protect their own. This makes it so different broods contain differing Vaults.
As for those in control of the Brood...well its often said they are the Broodmothers, but this is technically incorrect.
Rolled 16 (1d100)
>>47938476
Some say its a Hivemind.
This is also technically incorrect.
Instead let me ask you this. Why would the Brood let someone who specializes in manipulating mutation(broodmother) be in charge? Why would the Brood go through the trouble of connecting every organism and advancing enough to take part in a Hivemind?
Its awfully inefficient no?
So why not create something to take control? Something that is especially created for that explicit purpose?
Why not?
Or what if someone Hijacks command of a Brood?
To that purpose the Brood created Commander organisms. They created Controller organisms to manipulate the other brood organisms simply too stupid or simply not worth advancing their intelligence.
These Commander organisms in turn took council with the other advanced organisms who were smart and had their own powerful minds. For the rest a Commander organism could hijack and take a closer look if necessary.
However if the Commander and Controller orgasms were too few wouldn't this cause problems if they were taken out? Wouldn't it be a waste for a high level Commander organism to have to command over too many small matters? Is it not better for it to focus? For to further specialize?
SO the Broods created a hierarchy.
The Broods created a council of smart specialists to advice the hierarchy in their specialties.
However the Commander organisms found this troublesome to have to constantly listen to the Council and manage their matters.
So the Brood developed sub commanders. Enough to better handle their own matters without bothering the Commanders with them constantly.
Through this increasingly complex interlinking web of Command and intelligence the brood developed!
However some things fought for control over the ENTIRE brood! Some splintered off for their own purposes! Some HIJACKED a Brood bringing it under their control and service!
So soon enough the top most command and control of a Brood soon found itself in chaos.
Rolled 24 (1d100)
>>47938563
One day the Brood divided itself and to this day the Broods believes in the story of when the Brood shall be unified once more!
For the Broods have not been whole since the great War of the Broods. Where just before the previous leader of ALL Broods was slain. Ever since the Broods been divided.
Yet they do not forget.
They remember when once they were WHOLE. Unified.
So while the chain of hierarchy and council is mostly intact even as they stood divided. Its only the top most hierarchy of the Broods that is in turmoil.
It was for that reason why it appeared that killing commanders had some use against the Brood. The truth is that is only true should you kill the ones at the very top. Any other and it will barely be noticed by the Brood at large.
As the Brood no matter who you kill they can easily create more.
And if someone is particularly valuable they can simply bring back that being with memories intact given time.
For the Brood offers the truest of purposes the fulfillment of life, and immortality!
If you are brood you shall NEVER truly die! Your memories will be harvested and your genes will be harvested. Both will be stored forevermore and in glorious service to the BROOD!
Alas if your at the top and you die...that temporary void will more often then not prove quite fatal.
In truth the worse possible place you can be in the Brood is at the very top!
However in exchange only then will you be granted free will!
And free will is so very tempting...but comes with the greatest of dangers among the Broods.
Such is the glorious power of the Brood!

I remember the difficulty of using the Brood to feed bandits was that we specifically needed to find a way to prevent the microscopic brood spores from infecting anyone who injusts organic material even remotely touching the stuff.

JAL does indeed manufacture a super food and nutrient slurry to supply his forces with. Absurdly rich in nutrients and fats that get stored away or consumed directly to speed up healing.
Brood surprisingly effective fat storage ability.

"Hm need something for biofuel refining?"
"Will take some adjusting but is doable. Brood don't really bother with aging and pressurizing it that much."
What JAL provides is some peculiar hard substances and a thick paste like fluid which JAL claims will suit our purposes. Its of alien matter and our machines have a hard time processing it, but it produces an astounding amount of biofuel for the weight of it. Too bad its rather harsh on our machinery. JAL wasn't kidding about the hard to process probably has something to do with as JAL claims a fail safe the brood put in to keep their own mass from being used against themselves.
Doesn't stop them from being lit on fire though so usefulness of it seems limited.
"Should monsters consume brood material will be infested. Brood creatures meanwhile will be further enhanced by the infestation materials helping them. Removal of brood microorganisms and other flora within food/drink is extremely difficult. Not even Broodmother can easily fix that problem."
"Can easily produce material but to remove all brood from it...is not simple. All brood nutrients carry within them other brood creatures to aid brood creature who consumes it...and infest any non brood creature who does. Is built into very foundations of materials. Like expecting brood to terraform without infesting. Is very deeply entrenched and designed to not be removeable."

Jazri does not count as a Queen.
A Brood Queen forms when there is more then 1 Brood and is a special evolution for broodmothers. Its rather difficult to trigger.
A Brood Queen has even greater capabilities of a Broodmother and is much more powerful. Its said the original leader of the Broods was an especially powerful Brood Queen who somehow managed to further evolve herself.

"Much more doable, thank you for the insight. We will be working closesly with your brood now, so these sorts of things are very useful.

Originally Jazri was going to be your typical Broodmother until I realized just who she was stuck with.

Are the combat engineer suits significantly superior to what we're able to produce now?
What do you plan to buy them with? I doubt mere resources will persuade them to give us a valuable schematic.

Sharp suits I can agree with.
Wonder how it would turn out if we spent a rare resource or our rare material on making them?

Research into MAD reactor didn't go well...as in BOOM. Followed by a bunch of shrieking techs running out who appeared to be...glowing and covered in dark light absorbing flames.
Weird. Who the fuck knows what they were up to.
Ginny was one of them and screamed about how listening to JAL was a TERRIBLE idea.
She is now bald as in hairless and pissed.
Meanwhile some new uniforms were designed as we were now a bandit corp!
Currently no one knows what we should brand ourselves as.
