[edit] Assimilation by Cyborg Personnel

• Cyborg can assimilate Natives (on the planet) and enemies (in other bases) into Cyborg colonists.
• Cyborg can assimilate on the first turn, when they create a base with a pod.
• When another race makes a new base on a borg planet via ship transfer the assimilation will begin on the 2nd turn.
  • This is not generally true; It might be random, but when ever I pay attention enemy bases are assimilated from the very first turn. Rumata

[edit] Native Assimilation

1 to 20,000 Cyborg personnel can assimilate one native each. The number that they can assimilate each decreases at a constant rate from 1 to 0.2 as the Cyborg population increases from 20,000 to 100,000.

• Amorphous Worms, Siliconoids, and Chupanoids are immune to assimilation.
• Insectoids are only assimilated at a ratio of 1:6.
• Cyborg get .05 mc per native that they assimilate.

[edit] Enemy Assimilation

Cyborg personnel (colonists, crew, troops) can assimilate 1 enemy each up to a limit of 500. If the Cyborg have over 10,000 personnel on a planet they can assimilate enemy personnel at a 5% rate and grab more than 500 per turn (i.e. 100 Cyborg personnel can assimilate 5 enemy and 5 natives per turn.)

• Crystals, Robot, Borg cannot be assimilated.
• Solorian cannot be fully assimilated, they die instantly, but still produce money if done via a base.
• If an enemy base has more High Guard Rangers than the Cyborg can assimilate in a turn the highguards will NOT be assimilated and the base will NOT be taken.
• Cyborg get no money for assimilating enemies unless there is an Cyborg Assimilator assault craft present

[edit] Cyborg King

Cyborg can have only one high guard unit called the Cyborg King. When he dies or is captured, another Cyborg King is created on a random base. He has a number of special abilities that modify the game mechanics:

• The King at a base will increase local taxes to 300%, i.e. on the base with the King you get 3 times the normal amount of taxes.
• The King at a base will give the base a 5% interest on the cash present in the base.
• The King at a base will increase the growth rate by a factor of 8. This multiplication takes effect after Tank-o-Tronic Exotic Tech) is applied.
• The King at a base that has 5000 or more megacredits and no King's Palace will build one regardless of what your current planet tech level is. It will still cost 5000 megacredits. but no supply units. However, because of the tax and growth boost you should keep the King at the base with the highest population at all times.
• The King at a base will make it immune to Privateer money tap. The immunity is lost if the base has alien hull ship plans stored at the base.
• The King can assimilate an entire native Humanoid population on a planet in a single turn.
  • If more than 100,000 Humanoids are assimilated this way, the Cyborg get a free hull tech upgrade.
• The King can assimilate an entire native Ghipsoldal population on a planet in a single turn.
  • If more than 100,000 Ghipsoldals are assimilated this way, the Cyborg get a free engine tech upgrade.
• The King can take over ONE enemy Cyborg ship that is within 10LY of the base he is at or 25LY of the ship he is in, if the enemy's King is more than 300 LY away.

[edit] No Spying

• Can not be spied upon (except by Birdmen Praetorian Master Spies).
• Can not spy on enemies.

[edit] Natives

• Wild Chupanoids, Siliconoids and Amorphous Worms from the planet surface will not join a Borg Base.
• If Humanoids or Ghipsoldals see any ship of Cyborg design, belonging to any player, there is a 50% chance they will send a distress call to all empires (except Cyborg) requesting help.

[edit] No Contraband

• The Cyborg cannot buy or sell contraband in their bases. If they try to buy or sell contraband via the base contraband screen, they will get the base log message:

"Contraband traders will not make contact with us. Order cancelled. We are Cyborg."

• Contraband in Gold Pods cannot be sold by/to the Cyborg.

[edit] Special

• The Cyborg Assimilator assimilates enemy Colonists and Natives and gathers money from assimilation (more).

  • They assimilate all types of enemy assault craft.
  • Assault craft from the Robotic Imperium, the Crystal Assembly and the Solorian Unity are not assimilated.

[edit] Bases

• 20% of Borg colonists are converted into troops by either side having global attack on for each other and sharing a planet regardless of the number of enemy personal present, and even if both bases are locally set to peaceful. This occurs way before ground combat and before assmilation.
• Cyborg Troops change back into colonists at the rate of 5% per cycle.

[edit] Ground Combat

[edit] History

[edit] Host 194

New: Cyborg can not assimilate enemy Cyborg.

[edit] Host 188

New: If warp chunnel fails due to lack of fuel you get a log message.

[edit] Host 186

Fixed: Wierd things happen when Cyborg capture a ship that has high guard aboard.

[edit] Host 184

New: Cyborg have a new method of fighting crime.

[edit] Host 177

Fixed: The Cyborg King keeps disappearing and moving around and doing weird things when I put him on a ship.

[edit] Host 169

Fixed: Cyborg med lab keeps turning on.

• Cyborg Version 101 Revision 2 Released

Probe can now hold 100 guests

Explorer can now hold 500 guests

Iron Slave can now hold 50000 guests

[edit] Host 165

New: The limit on how many farms you can build in a turn. It has been replaced with you need 1000 colonists per farm you are building. If you have 100000 colonists on a planet and it has a soil rating of 100, go ahead build 100 farms... The changes to the colonists requirements for running farms (each farm needs 1000 colonists) have really hurt the Cyborg a whole lot, far more than other races. Now I could increase the guest size of one of their small ships so that it would be easier for them to build farms, but what fun would that be... it is not very "Cyborgish" to go out and farm the universe...

Changed: assimilation powers increased. Cyborg colonists can assimilate 1 enemy colonist each up to a limit of 500. If the Cyborg have over 10000 colonists on a planet they can assimilate enemy colonists at the old 5% rate and grab more than 500 a turn.

[edit] Host 162

New: Nanovirus yields 1/6 the number of natives as compared to the number of Cyborg killed. If you kill 60000 Cyborg you will make liberate 10000 natives.

[edit] Host 122

Fixed: Crystal X Field not blocking ground chunnels.

[edit] Host 115

New: Crystal X Field block all Cyborg starting chunnels at a range of 100 LY and non-Cyborgs at a range of 200 LY

New: Cyborg base with King (High Guard) is immune to Privateer money tap

Fixed: Cyborg assimilation of native log messages restored

[edit] Host 93

[edit] Host 88

New: Privateers: Lady Royale: Produces 100mc for every 1,000,000 colonists belonging to another empire within 200 LY. Causes a 5 point happiness drop in the victim race's colonists. Cyborg immune.

New: Privateers: Assault Gondala. 200ly range. Kills enemy colonists (10 each). Raid shelter protects 1000000 colonists and undercities protect 100000 colonists. (Yes, those numbers are correct.) Cyborg immune.

[edit] Host 86

Changed: Solorian: They can be assimilated by the Cyborg, but they die instantly.

[edit] Host 85

New: If an enemy has prisoners from your race there is a 30% chance per enemy person camp that your colonists will become upset and protest. There is a 100% chance of protest of your PC Factor is greater than 40. The Cyborg are immune.

New: Races can capture special races building of other bases, if the two are of the same race type (A Cyborg can capture an enemy King's Palace.)

Restored: Ships are again allowed to move after exiting a hyper jump point or warp chunnel.

[edit] Host 67

Fixed: Darkwing G failing to fire through Cyborg shields!

Fixed: Small programming error that may have stopped many race based traits from working, it is likely the Cyborg King, The United Enforcement Authority, and The Scavenger Tribes were troubled with this error

Fixed: All Cyborg ships and bases capturing nearby enemy Cyborg ships! (All ships and bases acting like they had a King!) Some players are losing contact with up to 20 ships a turn!

Tested: Cyborg Cube ships assimilating enemy bases with the Assimilation Beam.

Results: Works great, as long as "Attack Ground Targets" is off. Otherwise the base gets blown up in combat.
