Played Takamo when it was a pbm in the 80′s – Duchy of Brunswick. I think I found out about it from a gaming friend who was also in the Air Force at the time…

I do not remember seeing ‘Inhabited’ as a status. Did this come from a ship or a probe? TL of ship or sending planet? I know I have seen planets that have been colonized to have POPs on them.

1) In prior games, the first increase was at TL 25. I don’t know if it will happen at same tech level this time. There have been minor changes in what has been available per tech level this game.

2) You know, I never thought about that. Hopefully Randy or Thom will weigh in on that…

3) I believe the game map was generated before the game started.

So since you never played Takamo before, how did you hear about it?

[Tregonsee – HMU (Heavy Moderator Unit)Participant]

Yes, you can have colony ships and colony base ships in the same fleet; or colony, terraforming, mc ship and pc ship in the same fleet and run out the actions as applicable.

Trade fleets: Yes. You just can’t mix colony world cargo with Terrestrial world cargo.

I generally buy from several colony worlds (to fill up fleet), sell at terrestrial world, buy from that terrestrial world, and then sell to different colony worlds. I could do another round, but I generally need the actions to do other things.

I thought I saw info in the Takamo-Tarkia yahoo group. I know that it is based on things like mining potential and military forces and pops. When a trading fleet goes to a planet to buy or sell, the Imperial or Colonial governor will say how much is available for buy/sale.

Charon, see my answer below.

If it is terraformed, it can have trade center and ag center (and smuggling center too… plug for the free traders)

If you conquer a planet that is below TL 10, it will become TL 10 when it is yours.

[Tregonsee – HMU (Heavy Moderator Unit)Participant]

The only info I have on that is the old info that Thom gave for the old Tarkia galaxy. You get 10% back in RUs, and it frees up a fleet number and ship slots. It was not listed as an active action code in the action code list for the full input page, so I wondered about that myself. Hopefully Thom will weigh in on this…

Charon, you can land colony, land colony base, and build colony bases all in the same turn.
