A good deal of Mikroprosopos (tiny person!) now exists - the head is a bit small and out of proportion but will be bulked out when the helmet goes on. His fact is excessively flat too, but ah well.

That makes sense, yeah. The PDFs I think will have very very good defensive buildings, so it'll be quite turtle-based - occasionally having to make a push with your crap troops to secure an area, then advancing by way of building up defended points and mini-villages across the map. They won't have too much that can survive an open fight, but when they're really entrenched they'll be very nasty to attack and they'll probably pretty much never run out of resources (unless you work it strategically - given some of their buildings transfer resource types, if they have a lot of them and it gets unbalanced the factories could just end up eating all their power generation).

I'm only tinkering with this, but made a tiny bit of progress on the PDFs. They just have a single regular guard unit and a techpriest, but building-wise they now have:
- Control Tower (a battered, run-down watchtower)
- Plasma generator (copied from IG)
- Gun Turret
- Hab-Block (small, cheap building that increases squad cap by 2)
- Manufactorum (each one decreases your power generation rate by 5%, boosts your requisition rate by 10%)

At some point I need to copy over some of the graphical stuff and re-link things to new skins (because currently there are colour bleed problems). But really can't be bothered at the moment, graphics are effort. Particularly since I'd need to do some hex editing to link in new skins.

I will give this major bonus points if I'm allowed to serve people salted beer. :P

I definitely think we should keep a constituency linked system, by and large. People need a local representative who can do things for them, which is a lot of an MP's job: the outgoing Cambridge MP, Julian Huppert, managed to deal with an incredible 32,000 pieces of local casework over five years, which is probably a major factor in his vote only falling by about 5% rather than 10-20 like for some other Lib Dems.

I do wonder about scots-style mixed member; a lot of people like it less than STV, but for pushing in the next few years MM has the advantage that it's not preferential, so it can be distanced from the failure that was the AV referendum.

The UKIP comment was me attempting neutrality. :P

I'm happy to see UKIP not make gains, but I'd happily have swapped any of the main UKIP against for another 5-6 Lib Dem holds. Cambridge was only 600 votes away from returning Julian Huppert, but Labour got in instead. I honestly think this cock up is mostly Labour's fault, instead of attacking the Tories and making an alternative case they seemed to focus campaigning on LD and PC and so on. End result, Labour screw over their potential allies, who lose leads seats they were defending versus the Tories.

Results thoughts:

Oh portugal oh portugal oh portugal.

Which is to say: Tory majority for the first time since the 1990s, but a fragile one so it won't even have the advantage of stability, whilst the Scots Nats have totally swept the board up North, Labour have been flattened, except in the few cases where Labour were fighting really good long-serving progressive candidates from other parties where they seem to have done wonderfully. It's not even a good result for the independent right, with UKIP probably reduced to just Clacton.

Eight liberals. Eight.

Good luck to all of us trying to keep our net neutrality and encrypted communications over the next 5 years, we're really, really going to need it.
