Strategy Rules

You are a voice for the Drogari race, humanoids on a planet in a different universe with ~early 2000's tech level, more information will be provided in game.

Attributes:

[6] Construction & engineering[6] Research & development[5] Economy & trade[3] Diplomacy[5] Espionage & counter-intelligence[5] Space/Naval Warfare[3] Ground/Infantry Warfare

What the scores roughly mean:

0 – Your people have no clue of what they are doing. How did you manage to reach industrial revolution?3 – Inefficient and inept, but not entirely hopeless. Compared to the output, your people spend more time on these tasks then they rightly should. With work they get results, and a true genius appears every few centuries to revolutionalize the field.5 – Fairly average. While your people have no real instinctive understanding of this, it cannot be seen as a weakness either.8 – Inherent aptitude. Your people have a real knack for these tasks, producing more for less effort than one might predict. Your geniuses in this topic are born quite a bit more often than just one or two in a century.10 – Natural mastery. From the dawn of time, even without modern tools your civilization has made continuous great strides in this subject and created marvels scarcely believeable. Your people keep coming up with concepts and methods other races find difficult to replicate with similar technology or at times even properly comprehend.

Rolls:

100 Divine Intervention critical success. You get goodies.95 - 99 Critical success. You get some goodies. Maybe you unlocked a new tech, maybe you stumble on a friendly alien in need of a little help.90 - 94 Really good normal success. A chance for extra goodies.60 - 89 sliding scale of good mundane success.40 - 59 sliding scale of neutral results/normal progress10 - 39 sliding scale of bad results / very little progress / difficult problems06 - 09 Really bad mundane result. Very probably zero progress, decent change for damages.02 - 05 Critical failure. Zero progress, something blows up for sure, roll for damages.01 Universe Hates You. Critical failure. Zero progress, something blows up for sure for massive damage, chance to loose something irredeemably.

(Note - certain expenses/perks/bonuses/etc are fixed and do not need to be rolled for)

You as the players of this game represent collective council leaders of this civilization. You have no in-game avatars or characters. Decisions you make simply become the result of the in-universe people deciding on their own as the best course. As such you have perfect control over the leadership of the race, but notice this does not include the citizen element. Revolutions or even outright civil war may become possibilities if you start down a path of self-destructive or IC controversial policies; in which case you'd simply take over as the leaders of the victors of the diminished species, once the conflict has been resolved.

There are no action-slots, only the budget to be divided among topics you decide as important. The budget represents everything from resources to factory runtime to man-hours of politicians/entertainers/scientists etc, in equal measure. As your population grows or shrinks, gain or loose colonies, the people become happy/unhappy and work more/less etc, your budget is

modified accordingly. However, this does not represent the absolute sum total of your civilization's capability: rather only the 'free overflow' available for prime subjects after the expenses for your civilization's standard levels of lifestyle, education, healthcare etc have been paid. Independent research might result in breakthroughs you did not pay for, or intend. Civilians might cause problems with their thoughtless behavior. Corporations might exploit resources or craft sticky situations for their own benefit.

Bonuses and penalties might be applied at certain times, or be gained via various means. These bonuses and penalties will either grant a budget increase/decrease to specific topics, act as multipliers to budget figures or give a greater chance at success or failure. These will be handled primarily on a case-by-case basis.

Most resources will be abstracted into the budget figure: Gaining a planet with plenty of rare resources and dedicating it to mining the stuff simply increases your budget more than a mining colony on some other world would. Some resources of strategic importance might be tracked separately. Some projects might be impossible without a corresponding fluff element: such as constructing an outpost on a neighboring star-system when you have no interstellar-capable vessels. Use your common sense on these. If in doubt, ask.

You can research topics I have not specifically listed, and are in fact encouraged to do so.

Feel free to give a little description of what you want. This will not only help me judge if what you want done is actually feasible for your technology level, but also what kind of cost I should give it. In addition, it will help create a more vibrant universe, with a feeling of it being alive. Keeping everyone interested benefits both you and me.

Issues/Events60, 41, 61

1. Scientific Investment Opportunity. One of the Drogari private research labs has asked you to fund their research. They are credited with having some of the top minds in your entire civilization at their disposal and would like you to invest 150 million credits to help fund their current research (it's top secret, don't ask). In return they will give you 50% of the rights to the intellectual property of the project as well as share all spare resources available to help with your own research. Should you accept this offer you will receive a +10 to any one roll in your own research as well.

2. Moral Dilemma. Your markets have recently allowed the sale of Geelvis, a delicious fish found in the depths of the ocean. This fish is currently selling well and producing large amounts of income (some of which you collect in taxes) but has a small chance of causing blood clots, some of which have turned out to be fatal. While the chance of this happening is very low you are tasked with addressing the issue. The markets want to continue selling the fish while some activists are beginning to protest as the death toll slowly rises.

3. Extraterrestrial Life? A member of the Drogari Astronomical Society (DAS) has been hearing strange feedback on his extra long range scanner but as of yet has not been able to identify what it is. He has, however, calculated that the feedback is coming from outside your system and that even FTL travel wouldn't allow anything to reach your system for at least another 10 years. He has brought this to your attention as he believes you are not alone in the universe. He will keep you updated as he continues to monitor the situation but has asked you to fund the DAS 50 million credits so that he can upgrade his equipment and hire additional staff.

Please note each turn represents 5 years unless otherwise stated

[6] Construction & engineering - 23.8% of budget (525 million credits)

87- 200 million for Telecomunication Infrastructure- With the recent development of high-speed internet, it is time for the government to provide the infrastructure for it to the entire world, increasing entertainment, scientific discoveries, the economy, and more information for the CIA.Fiber optic cables are produced and used to upgrade the outdated infrastructure already in place. One of the engineers has a contact who is able to provide materials at a discount price saving the team valuable money. Work is completed swiftly and budget rebates are in order.+50 million for next turns budgetHappiness +1Improved infrastructure (+5 for 1 roll from each of R+D, E+T and E+CT budgets)

7- 200 million for Upgrading Satelite Coverage - Full upgrade of satelite coverage for greater broadcasting capabilities, increasing entertainment and communications networks as well as greater observatory functions increasing CIA effectivenessThe Drogari build new satellites with no trouble at all, prepare new software for the satellites already in orbit and set up orbital trajectories. Everything goes well until the launch when the new satellites start colliding with those already in space. Apparently someone copy-pasted the orbital trajectory from the new satellites into the updated software for the old ones.Satellite coverage lost - 200 million to repair

99- 125 million for Infrastructure Developement (Spaceship research and construction labs) - Contruction of facilities to improve research of spaceship technologies as well as allow for improved construction of spaceshipsThe engineers and scientists assigned to these Research and Construction labs have worked with incredible efficiency and have produced outstanding results. The new labs are state-of-the-art and with the completion of the Basic Fusion research they have already produced a small spaceship prototype. They inform you that with minor adjustments you could create transport, exploration and possibly even other types of spacecraft from this prototype.Small scout ship availableSmall transport ship availableLong-range life support availableSRC labs complete (+5 to any 4 spaceship research or construction projects each turn)10 million credits expense per turn

[10] Research & development - 39.7% of budget (875 million credits)

38- 500 Million for Basic Fusion Power +10 Investment, +10 HistoryResearch progresses slowly at first as the Drogari seem overconfident in their abilities to complete it in the time allotted. However, they soon realise that fusion power is no basic concept even for minds as brilliant as theirs and although a few problems are encountered they persevere. With the additional resources spared by the private sector and the large budget assigned to the project they eventually manage to succeed in producing fusion power days before the deadline. The last few days are spent ensuring that all calculations are correct and that nothing has been overlooked.Basic Fusion Power completeAdvanced Fusion Power availableNew feasibility study - Fusion reactor miniaturization

46- 300 Million for Advanced ElectronicsWorking with circuits isn't easy but the Drogari are quick learners and soon find ways of enhancing them. Making computers and other devices more power efficient soon becomes their main goal and work progresses at a steady rate. They also begin working on numerous small gadgets and gizmos that would enhance everyday life for the average Drogari.Advanced Electronics completeElectronic Miniaturization availableNew feasibility study - Recreational Electronics10 million saved per turn from lower costs

42- 25 Million for Feasibility Study: Psychic Power TheoryPolls indicate that only 21% of Drogari believe psychic power to be real, 76% believe it to nothing more than hocus-pocus while 3% of the population just don't care. Scientists believe it could be possible but the lack of precedence in Drogari history doesn't seem to suggest it is very common.

93- 50 Million for Extra-Terrestrial Life - Issue #3After hiring new staff and continuing to monitor the feedback the DAS has been able to provide you with much information. They have determined that the feedback is coming from a large trade vessel accompanied by a small entourage of fighter class ships. They believe the civilization to be peaceful and have managed to understand small amounts of their language. Tracking the source of the feedback over the 5 years has given them a rough indication of where

these ships will travel and they estimate they will pass through your system in approximately 5 years.

[5] Economy & trade - 31.8% of budget (700 million credits)

6- 150 million for the Bank of Drogari - State Bank that has the purpose of wisely investing money so the economy would further flourish, have some market control, and as a safe investment for retiring Drogari.Funding the Bank of Drogari may have seemed like a good idea at first, unfortunately those in charge are corrupt to the core. It took nearly 3 years for the government to realise what was going on and by then it was too late. Millions had been lost and embezzled; and by the time they were able to replace the Bank's management it had become clear that the economy had suffered, not to mention the cost of investigating and replacing those who were corrupt. Interest rates needed to be raised and pensions cut in order to restore balance.Happiness -1Economic modifier - (2 turns)200 million expense for management overhaul

18- 400 million for Advanced EconomicsDue to the fiasco involving the Bank of Drogari most top economists were unable to devote time to advancing the understanding of economics. As a result the research team was made up mainly of students and burnt out former economists. Very little progress is made and most of the funds put into advancing economics are ironically wasted.Advanced Economics 10% complete

79- 150 million for Scientific Investment Opportunity -Issue #2Your investment in the private sector was kept secret for most of the past 5 years but a member from the Drogari Laser Institute has submitted their results to you. It appears they have been working on weaponising lasers and with your funding have managed to do so. So far they have created hand held laser weapons and provided you with enough to equip 3 of your Drogari Peacekeeper Forces with these advanced weapons. They have also submitted the blueprints for such devices so that you can manufacture your own should you desire.3/5 Drogari Peacekeeper Forces upgraded to Drogari Laser InfantryDrogari Laser Infantry available

[3] Diplomacy - 0% of budget (0 credits)

[6] Espionage & counter-intelligence - 4.5% of budget (100 million credits)

89- 100 million for Central Intelligence Agency - Monitor citizens for unusual behaviour detaining and questioning those who could pose a threat to societyDespite losing satellite coverage the CIA works around the clock to find and detain any citizens causing problems. They also monitor online activity through the upgraded Telecommunications and have added names to a watch-list of potential threats. No problems have arisen and the CIA feel confident in keeping it that way for the foreseeable future.+10 for next turns Espionage and Counter-Intelligence budget

[5] Space/Naval Warfare - 0% of budget (0 million credits)

[5] Ground/Infantry Warfare - 0% of budget (0 million credits)

19- Moral Dilemma - Warning LabelsYour people are not too impressed by the governments minimal intervention for this potentially deadly food. Minor riots have broken out in some of the coastal cities in which the fish is more readily available but no damages have been incurred. Some of the more radical citizens have taken it upon themselves to prevent the sale of Geelvis and have harassed local vendors to the point where they no longer sell it.Economic modifier - (1 turn)

1. A new company has been founded in your society by a wealthy mine owner. He plans to enhance the dense metals found in his mines but has not been able to attract enough top quality engineers and scientists to join this venture. He asks if you could spare some of your top minds to help him get started. He says that should he succeed the enhanced materials could be used as better armor plating on spaceships. You can choose to ignore him, spare a few top minds (100 million credits) or offer him the best you have available (200 million credits).

2. During training, one of your recruits for the CIA has shown exceptional promise. He seems to be naturally gifted to such an extent he may soon surpass your most seasoned operatives. The head of the CIA Youth Recruitment Center has asked you to spend 50 million credits to ensure that this young man receives the very best equipment, study materials, mentorship and training that is possible.

3. After the news that alien lifeforms exist there has been an influx of recruits wanting to join the military. Due to the large number of people available, all recruitment programs have been placed on hold. With these reduced costs it will allow you to train Ground/Infantry Warfare units at a 50% discount for the next 5 years.

[6] Construction & engineering - 18% of budget (380 million credits)

61- 200 million expense for repair of satellite coverageBefore repairs on the satellites can start debris needs to be cleared. This proves fairly simple as most of it was either burnt up in the planets atmosphere or flung out into the depths of space. The small amount that is still in orbit is quickly cleared and repairs begin. Before the final reprogramming of the satellites the orbital trajectories are checked an astounding 8 times to make sure the same mistake does not occur again.Satellite Coverage repaired

41- 180 million on interstellar trade facility and supporting infrastructure for the space stationSupporting infrastructure for the space station including a large scale launch site is set up in a remote part of the planet to keep possible malfunctions contained without causing civilian casualties. It takes a fair amount of time to start the project but once underway it progresses smoothly for the first 3 years. At some stage it is discovered that a few corners were cut and in order to keep the facilities safety compliant work is stopped for 6 months while all aspects are double checked. In the end everything checks out and the facilities are ready for use.Space Station Infrastructure (+10 to any one space station or space station module roll per turn)Space Station Trade Module available10 million credits expense per turn

98- 25 million feasability study into recreational electronicsWhen polled about recreational electronic products the Drogari people are awestruck by the idea. A local newspaper has already started a competition with a prize of 1000 credits to the person who can imagine the best possible product while virtual reality gaming consoles have been deemed the next big thing.Recreational Electronics availableVirtual Reality available

87- 25 million feasability study into advanced educationTop minds tasked with advancing Drogari educational standards have submitted a few proposals to the government and most of the ideas are sound. After much debate on the matter it is decided that in order to reap the highest gains these plans should be implemented at the youngest age groups first and slowly phased into all levels of education.Educational Reform available

48- 100 million on long-range life support with a +5 bonus from improved telecommunications and +5 bonus from SRC LabsAlthough the budget for long-range life support is small it seems to be a fairly easy concept. Ensuring ships have a way of producing and recycling oxygen, water and food is seen as relatively simple compared to the physics of getting ships into space. Progress is made steadily over the years and your scientists believe that with a little more time they can perfect the process.Long-range Life Support 60% complete

73- 150 million on Space Defence TheoryWith the imminent arrival of aliens the Drogari work around the clock to find ways of defending themselves. Ideas are thrown around and research is done to determine the best method of defending the planet but as of yet nothing concrete has been established.Space Defense Theory 80% complete

[5] Economy & trade - 25% of budget (500 million credits)

60- 200 million investment in industry-led research into denser plating, with a +5 bonus from SRC LabsThe metals from the mine are plentiful and experimentation on enhancing their durability proves successful after a few failed attempts. The SRC facilities are able to offer up a small unused lab for testing which helps make the final adjustments to the bonding structure of the elements. The final product is known as DESP (durable enhanced ship plating) and 5 units are given to the government as a "thank you" for your help.DESP available

95- 200 million to continue progress on Advanced Economics with a +5 bonus from improved telecommunicationsAfter the economic scandals involving the Bank of Drogari have passed, work on advancing economic theories and models progresses much faster. A completely new macroeconomic model is produced which promises to enhance GDP and reduce unemployment.Advanced Economics completeEconomic modifier ++ (permanent)

82- 100 million investment into manufacturing efficiencies to enable us to respond to potential trade opportunitiesManufacturing efficiencies are designed to produce more in a quicker time allowing the Drogari to mass produce items should the need arise. While these are not terribly useful for everyday Drogari life they should prove useful for trade.+1 trade modifier (3 turns)

59- 160 million on first contact protocols and communications analysisIf you throw enough money at a problem it can be solved. That is the basis for the first contact protocols. Despite their history of diplomatic failures there are enough funds and resources available for language analysis and the Drogari believe they are adequately equipped to interact with the aliens without the situation deteriorating into war.First Contact Protocols completeYorkon Language understood

13- 50 million on star CIA candidate with a +5 bonus from improved telecommunicationsSome government buffoon supplied Michael Weston with outdated textbook, a lackluster tutor and below average training. However, due to his brilliant aptitude for Espionage, Michael Weston is still able to surpass the rest of your spies and graduates with the highest score in Drogari history.

Michael Weston Super Spy available

71- 100 million on encryption countermeasures infrastructure to reduce what extraterrestrials may perceive easily, with a +10 bonus from CIA foundationHardware and software is upgraded to defend against extraterrestrial threats and protect sensitive data. It is not yet known how effective this will be as the aliens have yet to be encountered.

92- 50 million on expanded domestic monitoring as per Golden Age's recommendationThe CIA continue to monitor civilian activity concentrating on people spreading fear about the upcoming alien arrival. Those pushing their freedom of speech to the limits are temporarily detained and "asked" to refrain from such behavior.+1 happiness

After nearly a year of planning work begins on building this machine that many claim will launch the Drogari into a new era. Building such a contraption takes time but progress is evident.Small Space Station 30% complete

1. New Lab Equipment. The SRC lab has recently received new equipment from the government to ensure they are able to provide the very best help with all spaceship construction and research projects. As a result all SRC bonuses are +10 instead of +5 for the next turn.

2. Training Program Update. Due to rapidly advancing technology it seems that the military training programs have begun to fall behind. No longer can the old training techniques be used and as such new methods will need to be devised and implemented. The implications of this are that you will need to pay 100 million credits per turn for the next 3 turns and you will not be able to recruit new military units in that time.

It appears the Yorkon have no intention of attacking you despite their vastly superior military (at least 200 fighter class ships) and are also planning a trading mission to the Zuriri to acquire 400 million credits worth of ship building materials. Michael Weston and co have calculated the course the trade ship and entourage of 5-10 fighters will take and reckon a well coordinated attack could see you capture the ship and cargo without allowing the Yorkon to transmit a signal home to tell their comrades who attacked them.

1. Peacekeeper Casualties. During the anti-psychic protests a few Drogari Peacekeepers were badly injured and forced to retire while many more died at the hands of extremists. Due to the loss of numbers the remaining Peacekeepers have had to regroup and as a result can now only form 2 divisions.

2 & 3. Recession. After years of a prosperous economy the business cycle rears it's ugly head and a recession is predicted. It will take affect over the next 10 years, stay in affect for another 10 years and slowly return to normal during the following 10 years. Your economists forecast that this will have drastic effects on the economy and urge you to spend money wisely over the next 30 years.

1. Privately funded space station module. A group of investors believe that the small space station is key for the development of the Drogari race and have offered to help fund a module for it. An investment of 100 million credits will see them have it completed in 2 turns, while a larger investment of 150 million credits will see them have it completed in 1. Due to the nature of this investment they will allow you to choose which module they produce should you fund the larger amount while they will choose the module if you fund the smaller amount.

3. MPCV destroyed. An unqualified engineer attempting to improve your MPCV ran into some problems with the wiring of the vehicle. Instead of requesting help he tried to fix it himself to avoid the embarrassment of seeming incompetent, however, this has backfired and a spark from the faulty wiring has ignited the fuel tank. The machine is burnt beyond repair and those in the Construction and Engineering department are not too happy.

The Yorkon have provided you with new blueprints although are not impressed by your lack of care shown for the original blueprints.
