Gregz my friend it turns out "force difficulty" in scenario editor doesn't actually work so once again we got a game where everyone is at Librarian except yours truly. I wanted to go along with it (got a really nice start) but the majority wanted a restart since we were only 10 turns in. So yeah we did a great reset (just like the elites have planned for us drones this year) and the game is starting from scratch. What a couple of weeks eh. Good luck all!

U.N. UTOPIA - 10 SEP M.Y. 2106
Pravin Lal scanned through the reports on his data terminal with a sense of cautious optimism. Agri-farm expansion proceeded at pace, researchers were making headway in Applied Physics and the recent salvage mission north of U.N. Arcadia had yielded significant amounts of industrial machinery. Citizen satisfaction remained high and the Planetborn were developing into model citizens exhibiting cognitive abilities vastly above the norm back on old Earth. "So far, so good", he thought, pausing his work to pour himself a drink and gaze through his window in quiet contemplation. So far...
The Office of the High Commissioner for Alpha Centauri overlooked the main hub of U.N. Utopia, first settlement and planetary headquarters of the loyalists from aboard the U.N.S. Unity. The sight of his brothers and sisters industriously going to and fro filled him with a familiar sense of pride. The base, of course, was still utterly bare-bones, a far cry from the metropolis with lush gardens and golden spires envisioned by their architects and urban planners, but they had secured their future against all odds; as long as they held true to the Mission every utopian dream would be realized in time. Of course, had they been at their full strength...
A flicker of anger and apprehension accompanied his thoughts as they drifted towards the Mutiny. Approximately eighty-six per-cent of the crew had either been lost in bloody fratricide or ended up persuaded, bribed or even press-ganged by former colleagues, now turned traitors, opportunists and zealous ideologues. It still astounded him how easily they had betrayed their oaths. True - the United Nations was anything but perfect. He recalled only too well its complicity in everything from human trafficking and narcotics to genocide and mind control, all of it fueled by Satanic occultism at the very core of the organization. His superiors had not even believed the Unity Mission would succeed. Was such a thing even worth saving then?
YES! Undoubtedly, yes, his inner spirit guardian reiterated as he swept back another glass of Unity Gin. He thought back to the excesses of the totalitarian empires, the Crusader Wars and the mega-corporations like Omniventures and Morgan Industries. If not for the U.N. keeping at least a token check on their depredations they would have destroyed the world before the Unity Mission was even conceived. He thought of the Twelve Minute War and how the nuclear hoax had warped into reality with the advent of "fusion busters" - missile weapons empowered by the proverbial Brahmastra mantra - vaporizing both New Delhi and Islamabad in the flash of an eye. Who was there to help in the fallout? Corrupt and complicit, yes... But the United Nations was still the best effort humanity had mustered. And for an organization masquerading as a force of light, its founding principles and declarations were all fundamentally sound.
Whether by chance or miracle, humanity had been given a blank slate, an amazing opportunity to right all wrongs and create a perfect free society. The Charter towered above, the pinnacle of human ethics. Without it there was nothing - no clarity, no vision, simply naked ambition and brute barbarism promising inevitable return to the savagery that had doomed Earth. With rising hatred he thought of his wife, mangled and torn by Spartan shredder fire, bleeding out in his arms as Garland's final words reached him over the intercom: "It is up to you..."
He never asked for this - but he, Pravin Lal, apolitical, non-ethnic cosmopolitan // Indian, would reunite the human family. He was drinking from the bottle now. It would be fine. He would bring peace, dignity and equality to Planet. He would lead by example and make them all see - of course they would see! And if not - to hell with those mother-#´$!!

Killed two mindworm boils already, Laconia is not a land for pussies afraid to fight.
Also managed to get my starting scout rover cloned by a pod and found a bunch of nutrient resources, unlike last game when I played as Lal and got 0 of those.

After obtaining new tricknolodgy I managed to jump to first place in the score charts, which seems to imply that everybody except for the Believers is growing more or less equally and found someone to trade tech with.
TROYTRON's Gaians are leading in tech which means they must have made contact with at least two factions, or Absinthe's University. Or maybe they just got free tech from pods, either way tech has to be a reason since I never saw them get top spot in population. The top pop score has mostly been swapping between me and AO's Human Hive from turn to turn. Yang has +1 growth (or +3 if he has commie economics) so this is not surprising, probably the only reason I am largest by pop currently is because I lucked out on nutrient resources from pods.
Kalin's Peacekeepers are curiously in top wealth spot, and I think I saw him building the Human Genome Project when I checked the secret projects screen to see if people are building anything. Maybe he's saving up cash for the project.
Oldbonebrown's Believers are really behind in score, so I guess they got cuck island'ed or something and ended up isolated.

Brother Lal is keeping energy credits safe for democracy. 
Also: updated OP with EXTRA yuge tech tree by TROYTRON which shows everything each tech unlocks.
Vast improvement, should come in handy.
Edit: Asked for the thread to be moved back to Playground so TROYTRON can participate in the game.

M.Y. 2146 Report of the High Commissioner on the Progress of the Unity Mission
Last mission year marked the end of an era as more than four decades of tranquil isolation gave way to a new exciting phase in our great adventure: the discovery of fellow humans on Chiron! Survivors led by Unity Psych Chaplain Miriam Godwinson, now styled Mother Miriam of the Believers, have since become our very first treaty partners. The Believers appear most eager to support our effort to reunite mankind under the U.N. Charter, a development greeted with much enthusiasm among our loyalist population.
The trend of rapidly developing inter-factional diplomacy now continues with the discovery of Nwabudike Morgan's reborn corporate enterprise, representatives of which our envoys are currently in the midst of negotiating a treaty of friendship with. Although concerned citizens have already called for preemptive bans on potential Morganic narcotics, human trafficking and "shallow attractions which may prove detrimental to mission efficiency" the technological expertise of Morgan Industries is sure to prove a blessing to future endeavors. Reportedly, Morgan operates in close proximity to societies led by Prokhor Zakharov and Deirdre Skye, which leaves only the question of Executive Officer Sheng-Ji Yang and Spartan leader Corazon Santiago's whereabouts before a full reuniting of mankind can be initiated.
At home our geneticists continue their effort to develop a cure for the dreaded Prometheus Virus. Marred by healthy skepticism born from similarities with the infamous COVID-19 hoax which precipitated the second American Revolution and ensuing Crusader Wars, the project continues at a critical but stable pace with a completion date estimated no later than M.Y. 2160. Meanwhile, base efficiency has been highlighted as a paramount focus of improvement as per the findings of the Interdepartmental Committee to Combat Bureaucracy's decade-long investigation. Finally, Mission Command has been authorized by the public to deploy two additional squadrons for charting and patrolling the seas of the northern hemisphere.
As the 50th anniversary of human progress on Chiron continues to draw near we all have an opportunity to reflect on our shared progress, as well as our common future. As distances vanish and the human family is reunited we hope and pray that the vision and values of the Charter – based on understanding, mutual respect and cooperation – will continue to facilitate peace, dignity and equality on a healthy planet!

Double, double, toil and trouble! Fifty lifecycles after the first wandering witches flew down from the skies atop fusion-powered broomsticks to make their new home on Planet, our humble coven has grown into a horrific den of the deepest sin and debauchery! Psionic affinity exhibited by Gaian witches has remained at an all-time high since our arrival, a clear sign that the forces of darkness and devilry smile upon our ritualistic sacrifices and unrestricted carnal practices!
Nowhere is Gaia’s departure from all norms of human decency more apparent than in the role played by Pleasure Worms within our society. Whereas other human factions have learned to hate and fear Pleasure Worms as a matter of survival, here they slither freely among us, cavorting from one warm burrow to the next without a care in the world! Our most psionically gifted and morally degenerate members have even taken to using them as a form of luxury transportation, allowing them to be plugged in 24/7 as they go about their business! This is not only a pleasurable endeavour, but a profitable one to boot: we estimate that over 20,000 psi-hours are reclaimed each lifecycle through interaction with Pleasure Worms, proving to sceptics and puritans alike that hedonism is its own reward!
With all this immorality taking place, it should come as no surprise that empathic bleed-over from other factions shows them to despise and envy us in equal measure. As they very well should be: while they scrabble in the dirt for energy credits and scraps of old Earth technology, our haven of the occult is sinking to further and further lows!
SUMMONING STONES UNLEASH FULL POWER
Gaian alchemists completed the reactivation ritual of the Eleventh Summoning Stone at Garden of Indolence today, where it will be used to foster the healthy growth of another young coven of witches: by allowing them to spend less time on such mundane matters as agriculture, mining, and photosynthesis, and more time on the things that truly matter in life, like procreation and narcotics.
The successful reactivation heralds the near-completion of the ongoing Gaian project to unpack and restore to service all twelve of the Summoning Stones that were enchanted with black magic and smuggled aboard the UNS Unity as part of its botany contingent. As every young witch knows, the Summoning Stones were designed to provide witches with very possible material need so as to facilitate their eventual transcendence from the shackles of material reality. All it takes is one simple prayer to our pagan gods, and they will provide us with nutrients, minerals, and energy, completely free of charge!
The rationalist University of Planet and materialist Morgan Industries continue to watch from afar in utter bewilderment, as they vainly try to puzzle out the arcane mechanics of how the Summoning Stones function. Needless to say, it is unlikely that any explanation either of they arrive at would allow them any hope of reverse-engineering a Summoning Stone, for the irrational cannot be comprehended by rational minds.
INNER CIRCLE CRACKS DOWN ON JOYRIDING
It has come to the attention of Gaia’s Inner Circle that a number of young witches have taken to joyriding outside of secure territory using misappropriated Unity Rovers. These Rovers are frequently found abandoned in fungal fields, overgrown by fungus and often used as nesting grounds for Pleasure Worms, leaving them unusable and unrecoverable.
Contrary to what some members of our grand coven might believe, Unity Rovers do not simply fall from the sky so that any witch can get into one and drive it around. They are specialist pieces of equipment, custom-built to exacting specifications by the enginseers of Earth, and transported at great expense across the deep void; designed to be operated by qualified professionals as part of carefully planned expeditions, and not by reckless and irresponsible adolescents in pursuit of momentary base impulses.
In light of these incidents, the Inner Circle has mandated that psi-locks be installed in all Rovers recovered from Unity Supply Pods. Any unauthorized access attempt will result in the offender promptly suffering an empathic overload of their central nervous system. Should any witch be unfortunate enough to survive this experience, she will be petrified and subjected to involuntary direct interface with Pleasure Worms.
Unity Rovers are NOT toys!
It’s technically not 2150 yet, but I couldn’t be bothered to wait, so you get this a couple of turns early.
Since Kalin spilled the beans in his last post, I might as well confirm that I did indeed land on the same continent as the University and Morganites. Relations have so far been cordial, with several exchanges of tech and cash taking place, and otherwise keeping a close eye on each other’s development.
Almost all of my Unity Pods have contained either monoliths or Unity Rovers. I played somewhat recklessly with the latter and ended up losing most of them to random mind worms, which annoys me since any support-free units are a valuable resource. At least I can just capture more worms to replace those.
With all these diplomatic channels opening up, seems like it’s just a matter of time until the era of global intrigue begins!

Mankind Reunited - Pravin Lal elected Planetary Governor
10 Nov M.Y. 2152 - Mankind's first global summit on Chiron concluded today in a great triumph for civility, concord and common sense as Commissioner Pravin Lal was elected Planetary Governor by an overwhelming majority. Although the diverse factions of mankind still retain their autonomy within the new order of things, the formation of the Security Council and supervisory governing institution constitutes the first major step towards truly legitimate unified government on Chiron. Proponents of the Governor's appointment praised Pravin's stalwart devotion to Peacebuilding and his key role in collecting and connecting the pieces of the communication protocols puzzle through patient and proactive diplomacy, one frequency at a time, so as to reconnect with each wayward member of our human family.
A vocal minority simultaneously criticized the overall approach of securing support from a number of factions *prior* to establishing global communications, stating it effectively amounted to what constitutes electoral fraud. The complaints were respectfully acknowledged and welcomed by Governor Lal, who remarked that "freedom of expression is the cornerstone of human civilization" before ultimately debunking the valid though misguided concerns: "The integrity of the Unity Mission is at stake" the Governor remarked, concluding that "freedom is far too important to be so irresponsibly jeopardized. Come on, man!"
Governor Lal's new administration would thus like to reiterate its committment to the very highest standards of transparency and accountability possible within an overaching framework of pragmatic precaution so as to best meet the needs of every citizen by ensuring freedom, justice and prosperous peace for all; Pax Humana! In addition, the Governor voiced his complete and unabridged support for the territorial claims made by Mother Miriam Godwinson and the Children of God pertaining to their sovereignty over the entirety of "New Zion" as well as its surrounding waters. Development aid has also been approved to both the Human Hive and Morgan Industries in exchange for services rendered.

A New Hope
New Jerusalem moves!
A national day of prayer and celebrations took place to commemorate the launch of The Children's latest colony pod.
Great amounts of food was shared, and hymns of praise were sung. The Children finally rejoicing in the hope of a bright future.
The events of Planetfall had shook their faith deeply, and God had punished their lapse accordingly - with a hard and tough land.
Their first church on Chiron, New Jerusalem, had not fulfilled their prayers of becoming the Bulwark of Faith that they had hoped for.
Progress was slow, and fear of the great shadowy factions glimpsed in intelligence reports grew.
When Sister Godwinson was re-baptized in the waters of Chiron, by the shores of their third encampment, The Rapture, she appeared from the water with a Vision.
Their new home had been hard on them, but God still saw to his flock.
New Jerusalem, great symbol of their struggle to erect a House of God on this strange planet, was Not a single settlement - but the greater land that had been laid open to them.
Far away scouts reported back - that the continent where they had landed was empty. Momentary peace assured.
A Vision, of New Zion.
Then came word from other factions, and all was good for peace and friendship found a way.
The Children voted for the governance of the Peace-Keepers in the first global election.
A prayer for a Peaceful future, answered by the then newly elect Planetary Governor Lal, when he publicly affirmed The Children's natural right to New Zion and her territorial waters.
Now, the Colony Pods are reaching out to all the far corners of New Zion. Behind them they leave the site of their landing, now re-named First Church, before them lies a new site of worship
Neo Jerusalem, light of us all.

Violent Peace
NEWSFLASH - Commissioner Lal has authorized maximum levels of preemptive peacekeeping to contain and dismantle the appalling Gaian terrorist state. The declaration was made in close conjunction with his controversial decision to forego employing his Executive Veto, opting instead to throw full support behind Chairman Yang's proposal to repeal the U.N. Charter. "It is unfortunate and upsetting", Lal told the people of Chiron, stating that "while no one was a greater proponent of the Charter" it remained "wholly inadequate" to address the extreme situation at hand. "Deirdre's lunatics are not only sending spies and saboteurs to our bases; they seek to conquer the world!" Lal exclaimed, citing intelligence data gathered by his inspectors.
"The evidence is direct, precise and irrefutable: probe teams en route to Concordia and a shocking twenty-six bases to our mere twelve, all set up to function as future military-industrial production centers. Their ideology? Satanic occultism! The very disease that rotted the core of human civilization on Earth. As humanity progresses forward, Gaia seeks to impose a never-ending age of decadence by the barrel of the las-gun. Let me remind you, we are living in the third millennium! This is a case of Gaian against the world, against the moral precepts which define what it means to be human. This is the time to act!"
The first phase of Operation Weed Killer has been successful: in-bound terrorists have been intercepted and five military installations have been neutralized in surprise amphibious landings. We have done what we had to do; it brings little joy, for Deirdre's chaos cultists, twisted by torturous doctrine, were once our brothers and sisters from aboard the Unity. Nevertheless, had we remained idle, come a decade or two they would have absorbed us all. Great victories have been secured, but the real struggle for lasting and sustainable peace has only just begun. The mission ahead is clear: to end the Gaian reign of terror and secure peace and prosperity for all decent men and women.
They counted on us to be passive. They counted wrong.
*Pending U.N. charter revision Commissioner Lal reminds all faction leaders to exercise common sense and adhere to their inner moral compass. Say NO to nerve-stapling and please rule responsibly.

"It is unfortunate and upsetting", Lal told the people of Chiron, stating that "while no one was a greater proponent of the Charter" it remained "wholly inadequate" to address the extreme situation at hand. "Deirdre's lunatics are not only sending spies and saboteurs to our bases; they seek to conquer the world!" Lal exclaimed, citing intelligence data gathered by his inspectors.
"The evidence is direct, precise and irrefutable: probe teams en route to Concordia and a shocking twenty-six bases to our mere twelve, all set up to function as future military-industrial production centers. Their ideology? Satanic occultism! The very disease that rotted the core of human civilization on Earth. As humanity progresses forward, Gaia seeks to impose a never-ending age of decadence by the barrel of the las-gun. Let me remind you, we are living in the third millennium! This is a case of Gaian against the world, against the moral precepts which define what it means to be human. This is the time to act!"
The first phase of Operation Weed Killer has been successful: in-bound terrorists have been intercepted and five military installations have been neutralized in surprise amphibious landings. We have done what we had to do; it brings little joy, for Deirdre's chaos cultists, twisted by torturous doctrine, were once our brothers and sisters from aboard the Unity. Nevertheless, had we remained idle, come a decade or two they would have absorbed us all. Great victories have been secured, but the real struggle for lasting and sustainable peace has only just begun. The mission ahead is clear: to end the Gaian reign of terror and secure peace and prosperity for all decent men and women.
They counted on us to be passive. They counted wrong.
*Pending U.N. charter revision Commissioner Lal reminds all faction leaders to exercise common sense and adhere to their inner moral compass. Say NO to nerve-stapling and please rule responsibly.
