We will need some fresh blood for the next succession... and for the next pawns given how fast they are burned through

I built some sarcophagus and got some nice eulogies.
On a side note, AdvancedHero offered himself for the next succession.

I absolutely LOVE tindrli's sarcophagus description! Who's feeling loss, and who's the tyrant I wonder?Also, while I appreciate the sentiment, I cannot take any credit for this wonderful LP. I've bowed out of actually taking the reign, due to too busy a schedule between work and family crises.

Nice. Just to update my list (I edited the opening message with everything that happened in the last month) :
Andnjord SmartCheetah : You are supposed to be the two next ones in the playing list, for when asfasdf, if he survives. Still in ?

Can't do right now, sir
And won't be able to for a while, unfortunately. Got a lot of projects going around, lot of things to do. I'll probably pass totally because it could possibly take me so much time I won't be able to play any games till summer.

Found an Authentic(tm) picture of the artwork. At least it looks like I did my part in the fight against the deer menace!
Gonna have to back down from the succession I'm afraid, at least for the coming future

These are the events that transpired on summer.
Following suggestions, I released Azira and, yeah, he joined again.
Ok, instead of arresting the visitors, let us trade with them. I bought some medicine in exchange for an ugly sculpture.
Life is hard in primordia, and mechanoids are here once again
I accounted 2 lancers and 3 pikemen, will try something with emp near the turrets.
Here you can see me (former man in black) launching grenades at the turrets entry point.
The silly plan worked and, despite a taking few shots on the back from the turrets, we defeated the robots.
We arrested a couple of savages who were strolling around, our future colonists.
It is suddenly very hot
Heatstrokes are a common thing now. For now I am stationing people with heatstrokes in the fridge.
The scanner is bearing fruits, we got some deep plasteel here.
Someone up there likes us, and sent some potatoes.
An opportunity comes up, but I am not sure I can craft spines that fast.
Let us attack a base. A shuttle arrived and we need to send 6 warriors for a showdown.
I brought everybody but Azira. The enemy position seems weak, so let's see what we can do.
The enemies are quickly dispatched, with the doctor taking some minor wounds.
As a reward, comtesse reaps some honor. Local loot is garbage so I quickly go back, will tend my wounds back in base.
Steel (or lack thereof) is becoming a major issue. I started some deep steel grabbing operation
And the robots are back.
On the bright side, it seems to be only two of them. On a less bright side, they dropped inside the base, so no cheesing them in the killbox.
Luckly no centipedes. So I will merely rush them and pray.
They focus on the animals for some silly reason, this skirmish costs a horse one leg, and some damage to my solar panels.
SmartCheetah will get a bionic eye.
And the doctor goes in a daze in the middle of surgery, while the patient is sedated. Not very professional. Oh well.
Fortunately Azira manages to finish it without incidents.
We now have the flu.
Now some imperials want to slack around the base. I will try it for another colonist.
And we recruited one of the prisoners. He will be now Storyfag if I get this right.
New guy is a cook mostly, and that is what he will be doing.
And so ends summer. The battle against the flu is proving harder than fighting the bugs, and I had to provide SmartCheetah with some glitterworld meds (his immunity was lagging behind). The first half of my term is done.

You got me laughing at the surgeon who goes in a daze mid operation.
It would be, yes. Funky thing is, this time it was ValeVelKal who dazed out, and me who jumped in to finish the surgery. :mystary:

Who are the new prisoners, where'd you got em from? The friendly tribe passer-bys? And how are their stats
Also don't tell me you didn't hunt those thrumbos seen on the pics

The prisoners are from Bico people, a local tribe. For some reason they didn't turn hostile when I arrested them, some bug?
I am more interested in the other prisoner, particularly in the Animals skill:
He is Neurotic though, which is always a pain.
Thrumbos came when I was still recovering from the slaughter, so no thrumbo hunting.

All right, since it is weekend I played one more week. These are truly interesting times.
The flu is becoming a serious issue, I suppose SmartCheetah can be saved, but I am not sure.
Well, he seems to have developed immunity, so there is that.
One of the imperials is now on go frenzy, which means she can walk twice as fast. And now she can be twice as useless.
And a new challenge arises, we have to kill no less than 36 angry cougars. The way combat is built in this game a pack like this is more dangerous than a bunch of armed thugs or mechanoids. The question, naturally, is whether the sentry guns can kill these fast enough. I don't think there is any fun in avoiding quests like this, so let's try to kill the things. I will go for the psychic powers reward.
I added another turret before the onslaught, let's hope that is enough.
This time a group of allies joined the fight, I will use them as cannon fodder.
The critters are here. I placed people in shooting positions mostly, let's see.
My valiant allies are breaking down before the battle even begins, ugh.
Things start silly, some Bico People visitors are the first target of the cougars, I guess they won't stand a chance.
Life is never easy and one of the visitors managed to open a door, and now I have a bunch of animals inside the base.
The battle turns out to be quite bloody.
It goes in the usual way: everybody is down again.
One of the imperials died, so this quest is blown.
Ok, I scrambled the last standing colonist on a desperate rescure mission. It was a close call but none of the colonists is at risk of dying of blood loss. Now I need to deal with infections and our other bane, malnutrition. The mercs are all dead though. SmartCheetah is working around the clock to save everybody.
Since we are a magnet for trouble, things get heated up again: a raid has arrived.
I send ValeVelKal to rebuild the southern door, the only hope here is that the raiders choose to attack via the defenses area. If they decide to sap the walls, well, this might be my last entry.
The raid isn't that large, so let's see.
And ValeVelKal botches it, oh well.
All right, I confess I didn't even see the raiders beginning their assault, I was looking after my binging patients. The door was rebuilt by AgentFrancis, so they decided to go via guns. Fatal mistake. They were quickly dispatched and now we have more bodies piling up on the base.
Comtesse is on a murdering rage. She is going to jail I am afraid
There is this prison contract quest, but it needs constant caring of blood rotting prisoners. I will pass on this one
The unburied 'colonists' are making everybody nervous. So, I will start cremating everybody right away.
I managed to find a few roaming cougars and put an end to the menace. At least we got some rewards. Also Azira is throwing a tantrum.
And so goes another week of bloody affairs, I might even make it to the end of winter.

damn, it seems I got of lucky regarding the number of raids I got
Don't forget that Comtesse, with her title, has access to a bombardement and imperial reinforcements. Though Comtesse would have to pay some honor to use them, as I already used them last year.

Another week goes by, winter is coming.
I made a gunlink for our shooters. Too bad everybody sucks at shooting here
And our nemesis is back. Insects now dig up from our pacific drilling operation into their homes. Maybe this time I will have better luck
Well, it is just 5 of them this time, not the dozens we faced last time.
Ok, that was... anticlimatic. The bugs are gone, back to digging
And, out of nowhere, the mechanoids deployed a weather controller thing. Foggy rain isn't that bad, some people will complain of being wet but eh, at least no fires. I will send an expedition later, maybe.
Meanwhile, I have been asked to take care of a couple dogs. I am surely not wasting medicine on those, although they just need to survive for a day. I will risk it, maybe they won't die for a day on just basic tending.
I got a bunch of tribals to aid me with the raid.
I tended the dogs without meds, let's see if they survive
And here they are. Sappers are bad news, they will be trying to dig through walls.
While most of them go through to the turrets, some go west to try and break the walls.
Ok, after most of them died the rest fled. Now for the next raids.
For the next attack, they split in two groups. This one is on the west, the other one is on the southeast corner
I sent the tribals to hold one group
I am trying to attack the other group but some soldiers went around the long way north. On the other front, the tribals seem to be losing.
The tribals are overwhelmed, and now I got people banging my south walls
They broke down a west wall
It seems the east group decided to kidnap the tribals and beat it. Well, good riddance.
And a few comtesse sword blows convinced the rest to flee. The second wave is defeated
The third wave arrives, I will try to lure them into the guns. On a side note, I half expect we get quests to rescue the kidnapped tribals later. Fat chance.
I used one of the psychic insanity lances, they will fight each other I guess
Let's see if they chase me to the guns
It works, and now we have a battle with turrets
They are a bit persistent, and the battle cost me a few of the smaller turrets. It seems the quest is over, I just hope the damn dogs are still alive.
Ok, dogs loaded into the shuttle then sent away, we now reap the rewards
I got this... thing. Really. Sometimes I wonder about people who make these games.
I got some prisoners from the raid. I was thinking of getting another miner, or we can just harvest their organs.
Ok, I had enough of this rain, time to attack the mechs.
I will take everybody but Azira, who can't fight. I am taking EMP grenades also. Let us hope nobody attacks the base meanwhile.
As the caravan leaves, we recruit another prisoner. So RK47 joins us.
So, almost a full day of travel.
We arrived at the site. Battling these centipedes will be hell, I will probably try to sneak around.
This might work, I will chop the big thing and beat it.
It is done, now it is time to run.
Ok, that was silly, let us get back to base
And winter is upon us.

Winter has come and gone. These are the consequences:
We are back in the base, and a quest appears. We need to craft 10x shield belts of decent quality. Let me see if I can craft them fast enough. It should cost around 200 plasteel and 500 steel.
And another quest is available, this time we have to assault a pirate base, with no less than 9 soldiers. I will summon the shuttle immediatelly.
The strict requirements mean we are bringing everybody. The pirates are mostly waiting in a central construction, I will try to snipe them and lure them into attacking us.
The plan is simple, attract them to this enclosed space here, then chop them.
These trees provide terrible cover, and the battle is embittered.
A few chops later and they decide to flee
And we reap some honor
And now Comtesse earned the title of Praetor. I need a throne room with more columns or something first though.
The battle cost AgentFrancis several fingers on his right hand, I will try to make a bionic arm for him
And the spoiled lass is making nonsensical demands already.
My shield belt production is moving at fast pace, I will probably make them fast enough.
And everything is ready for the bestowing ceremony. Comtesse will now be a praetor
Ok, I crafted enough belts. Now it is time to send a caravan, and claim our rewards.
I will send just a couple colonists, and some animals to carry the burden.
I changed my mind and sent a doctor also. In other news, I made a monument to please our nobility.
The caravan arrived, and another quest is done. I got some plasteel and a monosword as a reward.
Some mechs landed nearby (again).
The situation isn't good, they have a dynamo, which will effectively shut down all of our electronics in a couple days. They also have a centipede, and these things are nearly unkillable. The mech beacon will bring reinforcement, which makes the whole thing unpredictable.
Meanwhile, the caravan is attacked by tribals. Time to shoot some savages.
They charge bravely...
... and are easily dispatched.
Back in the base, I ordered a mortal shelling of the cluster. My plan is to provoke them, then have the turrets pound the things.
It seems my mortar operators are terrible at aiming, so I will just snipe them instead.
My sniper sucks also, but at least the cluster is awaken. Let us see.
The beacon summons another centipede, ugh. My plan didn't work very well, either, they aren't charging.
After a bit more shelling, they decided to attack, the end is nigh.
We are now struggling against centipedes on the choke point of the defenses.
The first centipede is gone, but the other is charging my animals, I think.
It changed its mind, and decided to be pierced by turrets.
Victory comes, but it is not over yet. I need to kill the dynamo thing now.
Turrets mean I will try to snipe the thing.
With the sniper hitting every tree and rock and wall under the sun, this will take a while.
This was getting silly, so I rushed somebody with a charge rifle.
The caravan has returned, and one turret still stands. I will try to snipe it again
I got tired of it, and just sent some melee to finish the turret. The menace is gone
The installation of the bionic arm on AgentFrancis was a disaster, the arm is lost in the process
And another raid is upon us.
These raids are getting larger, let's see.
(I botched this screenshot)
One of them starts beating my doors, so I will finish him first.
The remaining raiders go through the defenses.
The battle is brutal, but we win.
Another recruit joins, another miner.
I will now harvest a heart from my prisoners.
Well, it turns out heart harvesting has some large mood penalties, -16 in total. Also, 'innocent' prisoner? Really?
I installed the heart in Comtesse, no more prosthetic hearts.
And it is done. AdvancedHero step in.

This was fun. The situation is pretty comfortable at the base right now I would say. The deep mining yielded a lot of steel, and there are enough potatoes/rice/meat for another year probably. The raids are getting larger, so more fun should come. I managed to tame a lot of animals again, so whoever is playing now can have all the joys of micromanaging them.

asfasdf AdvancedHero I understand there is some sort of issue with the savegame ? What is happening ?
Casual Hero
Augur
ahem
Let's get started, hm?
Let's get started, hm?
Ah... how many days has it been since I passed up the last apple tree? 2... no, 3 days. I thought I was going to die alone in the middle of nowhere, but miraculously I seem to have stumbled upon some kind of settlement by the Bangaltas Bay. Turrets line the shabby walls of this encampment, so I had to be cautious, but I managed to slip in somehow without being detected on the west side of the wall.
I kept hidden, and began to observe the goings on of this strange small colony, and in retrospect, I am glad I stayed hidden; things don't seem to be going too well. I sit here now, at the end of the day with my journal, and write- hopefully this record will be of some use to me in the future. Until things settle down, I will try to avoid interacting with this colony.
The first morning got off to an interesting start...
A person who I came to know as AgentFrancis seemed to be very irritated, and was running around the entire compound spouting off insults at people. The reason? Hmm, something about organ-harvesting and "morals".
Things began to snowball from here; you could feel the tension in the air.
And then without warning, some kind of fight erupted from the kitchen:
Yikes.
Storyfag was carried off to the hospital, and was tended to by Vale. Things seemed to settle down after the fight.
Well, I say that things settled down, but that would be a bit misleading. The ground had begun to shake, and before anyone could do much of anything to prepare, a swarm of Megaspiders tunneled out of the ground and began to charge right for the colony.
Things were looking a little grim:
Storyfag and AgentFrancis were quickly rushed to the hospital, while the Megaspiders ran around the outside of the base killing every animal they came across.
The colonists gathered in the north side of the camp, hoping to draw the creatures into the range of the turrets... but this didn't lead to much. After an hour of wandering the walls of the base, the spiders went back to the tunnels they came from and started to build hives.
Everyone was visibly shaken up by all of this, but ValeVelKal seemed especially on edge. Well, sure enough, SmartCheetah (equally bothered by all of this) threw an insult at Val- and it was not taken lightly. Suddenly overcome by some kind of craze of anger, Val charged down the hall after SmartCheetah, whipped their rifle out violently. SmartCheetah seemed to panic, and ran into what looked like the colony tomb.
This may have been a poor choice:
This mad chase scene continued through the halls, eventually leading Val to Comtesse's room, where they were sleeping. Val would have none of this, and while SmartCheetah ran out of the room, Val began to smash their rifle into Comtesse as they slept.
A short chase, and then a high-pitched scream.
Oh no...
A sudden wave of guilt seemed to hit Val, but this was apparently replaced with a rush for more blood, as Val began chasing RK down the hall.
It was blood for blood, and something had to be done. The commotion seemed to have woken the rest of the colonists, and someone came running down the hall to help RK47:
Apparently SmartCheetah decided to finish what he started, and knocked Val to the ground. They moved Val to the hosptial, and things seemed to mellow out a little- enough for everyone to feel the despair in the air.
Comtesse has been killed, a hive of Megaspiders sits outside the walls, and half of the colonists are in some kind of daze.
Maybe the new sun in the morning will brighten up the atmosphere? Until then, things aren't looking too good.
I kept hidden, and began to observe the goings on of this strange small colony, and in retrospect, I am glad I stayed hidden; things don't seem to be going too well. I sit here now, at the end of the day with my journal, and write- hopefully this record will be of some use to me in the future. Until things settle down, I will try to avoid interacting with this colony.
The first morning got off to an interesting start...
A person who I came to know as AgentFrancis seemed to be very irritated, and was running around the entire compound spouting off insults at people. The reason? Hmm, something about organ-harvesting and "morals".
Things began to snowball from here; you could feel the tension in the air.
And then without warning, some kind of fight erupted from the kitchen:
Yikes.
Storyfag was carried off to the hospital, and was tended to by Vale. Things seemed to settle down after the fight.
Well, I say that things settled down, but that would be a bit misleading. The ground had begun to shake, and before anyone could do much of anything to prepare, a swarm of Megaspiders tunneled out of the ground and began to charge right for the colony.
Things were looking a little grim:
Storyfag and AgentFrancis were quickly rushed to the hospital, while the Megaspiders ran around the outside of the base killing every animal they came across.
The colonists gathered in the north side of the camp, hoping to draw the creatures into the range of the turrets... but this didn't lead to much. After an hour of wandering the walls of the base, the spiders went back to the tunnels they came from and started to build hives.
Everyone was visibly shaken up by all of this, but ValeVelKal seemed especially on edge. Well, sure enough, SmartCheetah (equally bothered by all of this) threw an insult at Val- and it was not taken lightly. Suddenly overcome by some kind of craze of anger, Val charged down the hall after SmartCheetah, whipped their rifle out violently. SmartCheetah seemed to panic, and ran into what looked like the colony tomb.
This may have been a poor choice:
This mad chase scene continued through the halls, eventually leading Val to Comtesse's room, where they were sleeping. Val would have none of this, and while SmartCheetah ran out of the room, Val began to smash their rifle into Comtesse as they slept.
A short chase, and then a high-pitched scream.
Oh no...
