Spar-

No, please understand... that was meant as a compliment! Please don't take offense. "Gutsy" loosely means brave, willing to take the risk.

To be more clear: it means you are willing to forego using defenses to apply pressure to an opponent early in the game. It is a good strategy to be able to use, because the threat of an early attack keeps your opponent off balance and guessing.

I hope you did not misinterpret my words. Sorry about that. I certainly respect you.

Thanks, Sparhawk http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Well... I certainly should be aware of using slang terms. It was a poor choice of a word on my part.

It is sometimes difficult to convey meaning on a message board with so many different audiences. One thing I constantly admire is that we have friends here from all over the world... who don't mind at all blowing up each other's empires... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

King Title Defense: Stone Mill vs. RexTorres, Turn 59?

The pot is boiling. Update on three fronts:

North: A sizable fleet of enemy ships boldly contested the Mercator outpost, using a credible strategy of breaking apart into smaller task forces to commence raids behind my lines. Mercator commanders were ready and scrambled together elite forces to extinguish the threat, without many losses.

Center: The main Mercator assault force successfully raided a deep enemy system, planets were either abondoned or destroyed. Rex's defenses pulled back, most likely to get first shot at the warp point. Raid still at large.

South: The pileup continues on the enemy outpost, 30+ ships. I have since recolonized my outpost, and protected it with a medium fleet, slowly reinforced to about 15 ships. The enemy has just detached a medium (12) sized raid force and is coming my way.

Also, I think I am getting plucked with infrequent ship bomb intel attacks, but they are easily shaken off without consequence.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">I don't think there is any need to apologize for misunderstanding in another language. And now that you have learned a new word (gutsy), I always think it's gutsy for a person to hop into forums and "speak" in a language they are not used to. I've been to the Netherlands (Holland) plenty of times and I am amazed at [edit] the number of people who speak English and how well they speak it. It's another of my favorite countries!

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">This kind of honorable sportsmanship is what makes me prompts me to give out a "5" rating. It's good to see this kind of play. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif
