1.) Broodmother can now convert humans to mutant and join hivemind with telepathic ease. Not garaunteed but just "encouraging". Addition of other efforts to win hearts and minds still recommended. Offspring of these normal converted concieve and grow up in the Memor manner and don't degenerate the genepool.
2. Artificial breeder feasble. Can be useful for generating soldiers in quick sucession, but these should not be allowed to breed or risk degredation of future generations.
3. Broodmother discovered in underground facility. Increases fertility rate of reproduction and intercourse in her broodnest vicinity. Releases juices especially useful for healing, but which cannot be stored and must be used in her vicinity as well.
4. Absolute control of base functions and robots by A.I. restored.
5. Hivemind membership is by consent and mutation, all entirely easy thanks to broodmother. Once joined of volition, loyalty is, in practice, assured. The hivemind does not allow for slavery of it's members within the hivemind, nor crimes, and major actions within the hivemind are monitored and by consent of the hivemind masses.
6. Certain hero units have the strength and willpower to hide their thoughts from the hive-mind, even massive plots and secrets. This can lead to mistakes and unseen actions and conspiracies by the heroes, but the rest of the Memor masses do not and should not be feared of treason or action without hive-mind consent or supervision.
7. New strain of supervirus by Richard. One strain been deemed feasible for battle purposes. Other strain of contagion particularly deadly and left for "last resort/final solution" purposes.
8. The hivemind/overmind is capable of surviving without the presence of the Prophet of fate.
9. Radiation now heals. Don't ask how. It's mutation I ain't gotta explain.
10. Broodmother aura vicinity can make everything better, organics, machines and all.

>>27284941
so after reading over the last thread yesterday it appears some shit is going down in the jungle. and also the jungle is pretty fucking bad, like somewhere inbetween the deep swamp and our marsh.

also i vote we used our troops to go attack the bandits that we have left alone IN OUR swamp for FAR to long. we also produce another bombardier and whatever else we can with the res we have left over. lets save the last move for another roll of combat (if you let us) be sure to send Marcus, Alexis and Warlord Duel Fists. it will be a good chance to show alexis how conventional combat works. also be sure to have some scouts probe the perimiter BEFORE we strike, we dont want a repeat of last time

Mid term goal (i.e. this chapter or the next few)
1.) 2nd broodmother extraction of deep swamp. Develop enough force to support Marcus Special.

Long term goals (i.e. a very long time from now)
1.) At 100,00 population, and with research into irrigation, swamp construction, and agriculture we can begin construction of national border (via burned no-man's lands among other defenses and patrols) and swamp drainage/river logging to base to fuel bio-fuel factories and open up dry land for expansion
2.) 2nd tier of borders achievable when bandit forts taken an pop is at 400,000.
3.) Reconquest and reestablishing of mine's to fuel industry. Involves addition of roads and purchase of mining vehicles as well as possible railway system to expeidiate the process.

The ghouls ate up the bandits in our swamp.

lets wait on the last one for the bumfuckery that is about to occur

>>27285034
A few corrections could be made. A long time ago, we wiped out 2 of outmost bandit camps with the marcus special. Only the inner three were iradiated.

Also, as a generalized map that connects all the land it works well, but you would agree the smaller maps the OP drew are the more accurate yes?

>>27285219
anyway, can EDE confirm this>>27285201 ?

also, any corrections on the map?

>>27285240
Which facility is that though?
The 3 old skullfuckers bases are full of ghouls, and of the 3 remaining new bandit warcamps to survive the Marcus Special those were irradiated and ghoulified too.

>>27285304
its not a base, but one of the facilities. the facilities are the grey splotches on the small map. it's very high tech.

>>27285269
the yellow is supposed to be the irradiated ruins of bases. though i suppose i could change the color of the outermost bases

>>27285219
For recent events I am afraid I have some bad news user.

Strange bandits in our swamp have successfully pierced the Deep Swamp. They have also established quite the base on River where they have begun trade. It is becoming quite the hub.

For some more bad news a monster surge from the deep swamp has occurred...their pouring out from everywhere into the outer swamp. Luckily the really big ones are still in the deep swamp. Its just the smaller chains that have been expelled.

Now for some good news.

Ghouls have fortified and their war-bands are for some reason unusually well armed and even friendly? Feral ghouls have largely fallen into packs or holes.

Now for some really good news. The broodmother has really picked up on fleshbeast production and Richard has been trying to figure out mutant cyborgs. Apparently he either news some new 'proper' facilities unlikely and quite costly or he needs some 'volunteers/samples'. Meanwhile however he has been researching the zombie samples. His report is that the strain is still quite crude having to have lairs to convert. He also figured out why there is so many is do to the fact that somehow cloning facilities got zombiefied. How many there are or lairs for that matter in the Eastern Swamp is unknown.

>>27285201
They are indeed still around.

>>27285403
this is more accurate than >>27285420
it just bothered th hell outta me that the splotch of deepswamp was where eastswamp is

>>27285420
That depends what the Op thinks.
As much as I really want to perfect our maps, I feel it's bad that we saturate the quest with cartographical debate. Let's let the OP decide. And vote on those actions people.

East is the edge of zombie swamp.

West is Hillbilly swamp lands beyond that is massive penisula.

South is deep swamp

further south is everglades like area that turns disapears into the ocean.

Our area is the Northern swamp outskirts. To the west is the beginning of hillbilly mutant lands. To the east is the edge of zombie swamp. To our south is the deep swamp the heart of all the swamp. To our north is the city and wastelands.

>>27285463
so they're just regular old base ruins

>>27285502
he agreed on the geographical layout last thread

>>27285466
so we wipe those fucking bandits NOW. there is no way they can stand up so our massives, SSTs, and the marcus special. but lets still scout first

>>27285466
also, are the bandits who pierced the deep swamp and set up an outpost the same ones who took the facility earlier?

>>27285562
Same bandits. They have looted and fortified ad few high tech ruins mostly military grade and are familiar with psionics.

Tectus scouts got sent scout out bandits. On their return they state the marsh bandits have grown increasingly hi tech. They couldn't get to close as they had psionics users nearby. City wise scouts indicate that the bandits gangs have been laying low. Apparently there is a war going on between Light City and Crater Bulge. The ones who haven't picked sides are mostly laying low between preying on the both of them.

Research wise Richard has completed the mutagen serum. Now we have the mutant and mutagen variety. Our guys can pick and choose mutagens we have unlocked. We can even sell the new stuff. As Markus disappeared with a crate of freshly produced stock when it was spliced with luminescence. Deal is Richard is gonna get some new stock in exchange.

She and him have extra privacy/segration from the mind priveleges, and a tendency to run off on their own plots. And we've been fortunate that both involved nuking the bandit warcamps to send in the ghouls and building the marcus special.

Psionic cloaking research+hero bonus.

We got Prophet with the huntress and mostly Memor to crank out psionic cloaking. It worked beautifully combined with mind blank can make trained operatives nearly undetectable. Sadly only a handful of memor besides the prophet are strong enough to do so over any decent length in time as it is quite exhausting. Especially depending on how strong you want it to be.


Scouts report two bandit bases one on the border to the swamp and plains. Ever since this the ghoul pandemic and nukes though they had to expand their operations outward again. Apparently its becoming quite popular many bandit groups go there to purchase massive amounts of fuel. What is most interesting is that they don't really trade in slaves oddly if anything they buy in order to free them but anything else is good. The river is used to send mass amounts of fuel down river to a base in the city who trades it to the bandit gangs there.

Research ghoul reavers Notes
Hellishly tough I am talking one these bastards could survive getting hit by one of Miss Mox's mininukes(no don't ask where I got one). They still have the freakish ghoul agility and hit REALLY fucking hard. As in one could tear power armor to shreds. Range attack wise they barf up parts of their meals now hellishly radiated and hurls it at their foes where it explodes on contact. Disease wise their crawling with it and even radiation. If the reaver doesn't kill you your freshly nuked immune system and the disease or infection will. Only redeeming feature is how somewhat rare and even stupid they tend to be.

73
Scout wise ghoul camps our guys found a bunch of burrows and ruins where the feral tend to be. War band wise they tend to find some high or old ruins.

>>27288101
Mobile Fortress. Is the next and by far the largest tier. The Markus' Special Shop is a mobile base. The Markus special is a below that as a behemoth class. Supers are below even that.

Well, we've scouted the bandit camps and we've scouted the reaver camps. We have the knowldge of their forces and the lay of the land.

Research feral ghouls notes

Their mindless only caring about food or radiation. What is left of the brains is pure instinct. Their very agile easily moving around. Their lairs tend to be in cool, dark, and moist areas. Which this swamp is pretty much covered in. Without radiation as a lure we have to either somehow bait them or acquire wranglers. Basically unusual ghouls who can guide and control the ferals. Ghoulish War bands have ghoul wranglers to lead their pet feral ghoul packs.

Bait wise will take something special to get them riled up enough and heading where we want them to go. Radiation is easy way to do it.

Random event

strange bandits are clearing out the area around their base of all threats. I also believe that they maybe constructing more detection systems in the surrounding area. In a few months once their zone is cleared we can expect some major digging in. Also have detected that bandit forces are now once more being nicely fueled thanks to their efforts. Despite staying away from slave labor they seem to be able to produce quite the volume and high grade stuff too...

On the plus side though bandits are staying way the hell away from our part of the swamp. Shit they don't even like passing between us and city in that narrow stretch of land. though this is most likely due to the high concentration of ghoulish threats.

First team on the other hand gotta away thanks to the Forsaken Bandit sacrificed itself. Never seen something take so much fucking damage yet it still kept fighting and harassing the enemy keeping them off our back. Our crap maybe damaged but at least we gotta away unlike team two.

Meanwhile back at the bandit base.

So...why isn't the vehicle blown up?

We don't know sir we shot EVERYTHING at it. Its just no matter the damage its STILL capable of fighting even movement.

That fucking thing is monstrous. Have we used plasma, pulse even Railgun blasts?

Everything sir its taking on an amazing amount of punishment. We're are breaking it down though.

How about the enemy did they escape?

First team yes thanks to the new vehicle second team got wiped out to the man.

hm guess these mutants don't want to play nice after all. Tell Cortana that her precious rescue mission is will have to be on hold. We can't wage a two front war.

Sir she wont like that.

Hm don't worry she wont like it but she'll understand. In any case divert all forces back from the main battle-line back here. Its time for payback after all there is no such thing as coincidence.

In any case debate amongst yourselves plan whatever. All I got to say is now the strange bandits give a rats ass about you. They used to be live and let live because they had something better to do. Not any more. They can't allow a hostile force to remain at their back and gunning for their supply line. In any case I am gonna do some dishes. I suggest coming up with something and recruiting. Which I have hinted at repeatedly. You fuckers really poked the bear with a sharp and pointy stick on this one.

>>27290143

And look where it got us.
You agreed to an "attack", not a scouting mission.

The ghouls plan was a seperate endeavour that would take at least 3 turns (2 turns now) to attempt, and in the meantime we should've attempted to scout and test their detection systems with the new cloaking abilities.

Some folks wanted to "harras the bandits right away right now" and got us into that mess.

There is no close combat in harrasing if we keep the enemy away.
Which is hard to do when they know your locations and can just waltz behind your back.

Because the plan to scout test their detection systems and cloaking psionics was shot down in favor of a direct harrasment attempt into enemy territory.

They don't. But they do have vehicles, and a fucking forrest to hide troop movements. Things we could've seen if we sent advance scouts.

We have only one military move per turn. We sent our envoy the Ghoul leaders, next turn we were supposed to scout the bandits. NOT BEGIN THE FUCKING HARRASMENT.
We coudl've fucking delayed the harrasment attack to scout them. The ghouls had nothing to do with our ability to scout before we attack.

>and it said they were in the process of setting them up
>which means they hadnt yet.
Clearly wrong, seeing as how they were ready by the time we were there. I garauntee you the OP would agree. It could be as simple as laying a sensor on the ground for all we know.
>they also are not going to waste resources an set them up all over the fucking jungle.
What part of "everyone else can lift a finger out outmanufacture you in a day" is hard to get? And trading for fuel? Sendingo out sensors to the jungle is peanuts to them.

We used to build watch towers all over this place. They've had months to set shit like this up.

>>27290585
And they had even better tech and vehicles than us the last time they attack us. Fucking hovercrafts and shit.

Rolled 82

>>27290642
we can use the free action as a military action i have gone over this almost a half a dozen times now

and with op suggesting that in a turn or two they would be to dug in to attack you guys turned it into an urgent matter, when we could have scouted before hand and known

then op needs to explain a bit better, cause when someone says "setting up sensors/detection system" it definitely heavily implies that the system isnt up yet. that is why the english language has different tenses.

he said that there are some who can, not everyone could. we were also told that this is a lone bandit group who managed to get their hands on a high tech military facility, that implies that they are not production based. speaking of which we need to build a few more factorys or crack into some of those facilities or something cause we need to be able to produce weapons/vechs at a decent rate.

we also need to re set up that watch tower grid, i suggested it last thread but everyone fucking ignored it.

Rolled 99

>>27290667
and no they didnt, he said that their tech was on par with ours, they just got a hold of a advanced military facility,it doesnt mean that they can automaticaly mass produce any weapon system they want

and speaking of which, why the fuck didnt we choose military? why did we choose biotech then completely ignore it

>>27290862
We had to use the free action to scavenge for resources because at that point we had 0 and that's fucking dangerous not to have emergency supplies.

OP did not say they were digging in for an attack. When you plan to attack, you don't dig in, you mobilize holy shit.

And making any decision based on implications over personally witnessing and scouting the enemy is destined for failure.

The tower grid was only set up after a stroke of luck when we eradicated the forrest of monsters. Low and behold, the bandits moved back in a took them down to the last.

Very well

98 resources gathering

With news that our watch towers went down and knowing we only had a limited amount of time before the Bandit Horde was upon us the Hivemind sent its forces out in force to gather one final batch of resources while it was till safe. Which they did with despertate fervor.

10 Resource points acquired.

News for some reason the Glows Krew Raiders have joined the Bandit Horde. Richard has given us access the borgs sensors to see what we pick up here is what we got.

A bandit force numbering well over a 10000 troops(exact number unknown borgs are crude/stupid). Vehicles are few and far between but what is there are advanced considering they do not rely upon biofuels.

2/5 of bandits have some type of bandit craft power armor.
1/5 have a legit power armor.
4/5 bandits have heavy weapons of some kind(motherfuckers are packing BIG time)
1/5 bandits have outcast armor

>and he did say that they were "digging in"
Exactly. If they are digging in they are not preparing to attack. You do not fucking dig in when you prepare to attack thats fucking retarded. OP even says they were a "live and let live" type of group.

>and how else are you going to make decision if not based on first hand reports? which we had
Nope. We didn't because we didn't send a fucking scouting team before we tried to harras them.

>we were going to attack them sooner or later
And clearly later would've been the better option
>and he implied that if we waited until after they dug in their defenses would be to strong to attack.
No, he never once said they would be too strong to attack, only that they were digging in AND that they were setting up sensors.
Attacking at that moment in time and that context can not be justified under any circumstance. One more turn of scouting is all it could've taken.

They got access to military grade among other high tech level things. And unlike our under armed forces much less our paramilitary units theirs are at complete functionality according to Markus. With all the bells and whistles to boot.


>>27290862
They were indeed beginning to set up. Thing was they WERE planning to clear out the area BEFORE setting it up completely. Now however they plan to go into overdrive. Unfortunately their defenses are quite powerful considering they managed to acquire a military grade bunker.

The prophet has access the memores of the fallen to show us their capabilities.

You are Roy you pilot a of a Lancer SST. Your column was moving along when suddenly one of the plasma babies got hit with something it then froze up and exploded. Before you could realize what was a happening you heard a thud from outside your tank you thought it was nothing until you heard a whirring sound when suddenly plasma punctured through your tank.

You are Jack you were piloting a Bloody Bandit SST when suddenly you noticed the lancers when it down. One just collapsed and leaked a bit of plasma. You realized that must of been the one which Roy was in. That was when you started firing trying to get the enemy to back off. Before you knew it sensors indicated that you lost 1 of your legs somehow. That was when you saw several streams of somthing fly hit and hit the boom town. You and the other bandit pilots desperately made your way there to get to protect it but is was to late. The Bombardier managed to get off a single salvo before it seemingly got attacked from many areas at once. Missle salvos, plasma shots, pulse cannons, even rail gun blasts all came down on it at once. Bombardier took to much damaged and detonated in a massive explosion thanks to its ammo caches throwing many spider tanks around. A few crumpled not getting up again. You could feel the death screams on the Hivemind and the screams for agony especially one nearby. You opened fire on it putting the Memor pilot out of her misery. That was unfortunately a fatal mistake as you were bombarded with plasma shots and missiles. You did your best trying to hold of the enemy. Now that the artillary the primary artillary was down you bandits tried to get the forces to retreat. But boom towns were going down left and right detonating massively. Lancers were soon down after that not enough armor. Shit you couldn't even remember how fast the Paramilitary tanks when down. There were still a few survivors around though.

You are Mark a pilot for a Plasma Baby. Jack and Marry chose to stay behind to buy time as being in Bloody Bandits they could take the most damage. Not to mention their legs were heavily damaged. So they wouldn't be able to move fast enough. Hopefully their sacrifice will be enough. For now however your in the front as a Plasma Baby your duty is to blast through the enemy to puncture a hole for escape. Too bad your the only one left the enemy made to sure hit the plasma babies once artillery was down. The remaining bandits tanks are keeping the flanks covered. You can hear them firing away over the din of the crude plasma reactor. You kept on pouring out the plasma not caring about the complaints and warnings from the crude systems on-board.

You are Janice in one of two lancers SSTs remaining you just mark was in front clearing the way when abruptly a well placed shot took out his plasma reactor. It wasn't pretty. That was when you noticed an odd over tank the one who had sniped Mark opened fire. Your tank shotdown but amazingly didn't explode. Thank god for weapons batteries were only horribly toxic and NOT explosive. So you were able to get out. Only to see the that the bandits were the only ones standing by this time they had formed a circle trying to distract the enemy while the precious few survivors tried to make their escape. It wasn't enough but you were able to see the enemy at least. Strange thing was you could see the flicker of movement through the trees. You could see 8 legged spider tanks even 6 legged. there were also plenty of hover tanks. However what disturbed you the most was the figures moving around the ground using strange weapons capable of puncturing through even SST armor. They moved in odd ways. That was when you saw one said figure from a twisted tree leap onto one of the trees onto a tank. Where they placed a strange charge on the tank that then detonated. You notice the Bloody Bandit tank collapsed surprisingly intact.

You are Henry. You just saw Janice's head exploded. You had been freshly shot not dead yet thankfully but you can feel the live oozing out of you. By now there were only two Bloody Bandits left back to back holding of the tides. You noticed that started trying to move away from you and a couple others. Undoubtedly in futile attempt to draw away attention. You waved at the others to leave you behind as you grabbed your machine gun. Good thing it brought it along just in case. You knowing your gonna die anyway and worst still you saw some strange flickering of movement. Before you realized what happened explosions occurred all around you. You could feel the Memor you sent away all dying and for the first time in your life you realized that you were completely alone. You couldn't even feel the background din of the Hivemind anymore. That was when you realized that one of your legs had been cut off but you were already on the ground. So you crawled your way to a tree planning to set yourself against it as you open fired. Sadly you could feel a boot crush down on your leg stopping you.

Got a survivor over here.

Take him to the rest.

Understood.

You could feel yourselve being dragged away when you lifted up your arm with the machine gun you realized your arm was also gone...amazing you hadn't realized that. You were dropped off with a handful of others.

So we taking prisoners?

No we are not stated as another soldier with a strange marking.

You are Ravoanna a former bandit turned mutie. You were a pilot back then too. you were 'chosen' to pilot the Forbidden Bandit. truth be told for some reason no one likes being a pilot especially for the Memor due to the whole 'dying like flies all the time'. Not you however you always liked piloting from the type you built your first 4 wheeler since you were 4. Things were going great until the artillery unleashed their first salvo. That was when things when to shit REAL quick. Enemy came out of nowhere tanks got hit especially the artillery the one thing they weren't counting on however was YOU.

Like a whirlwind you moved throughout the battle field blasting enemies away left and right. Taking on direct hits to protect your comrades. Shit it was the only way they could actually hit you despite homing missiles and whatever. They had to strike your friends. They just can't touch you heh just like the male bandits. God it was good to be in such a ride of destruction. You kept on getting hit and over and over again using yourself as a shield. But despite this the Forbbiden bandit remained true to its namesake you only really DID need just one no matter the odds. Long after your allies got away you kept firing way. Eventually however you began to run dry. That was only when you were in a zone where nothing stood but the wrecks of your enemies. You must admit you had to have taken out at least hundreds for this much carnage to be evident. When they finally realized you had run dry you could practically see them come like sharks to water or psychos to a unguarded newborn for the sake of some new baby skin mittens.

They however made on fatal mistake that just because you had no ammo left you couldn't attack. That was when you raised the front two spider legs one of who was partially blasted away. But that didn't matter you still had five 'looks at damage readout'. No make that 4 legs.
