Raging Ragnarok Empire (Ragnarok) -vs- Rambie's Empire (Rambie) 2411.9

"Fleet commanders log - Over the past few turns we have found many empty star systems beyond our borders in Rambie space. This is highly unexpected as the Rambie Empire has had plenty of time to colonize and develop these planets but have neglected to not do so.

We are still in search of the home planet of the Rambie Empire but we feel we are getting closer as now we know which general direction to go in. We were called back close to the system in which we shared with the Rambie Empire for many years to deal with a threat that popped up. Out of the unexplored jump gate in the southern region of that space came out a fleet of 15 ships. It stopped breifly on the planet that the Rambie Empire still had control of and the next month it proceeded to attack our planet there. The results were lopsided indeed. They lost all ships while we sustained no damage to the planet. They didn't even have a chance to fire on our planet as our mine field took out the whole fleet with many mines left over for possible future incursions.

We were not able to make it back in time to stop that fleet but as was mentioned we had no need to be there. We are currently taking out a planet of the Rambie Empire and from there we will continue south in search of the home planet of the Rambie Empire. Another fleet is being built up as we speak and should be ready for reployment withen the next 3 months. End log."

I feel that Rambies choice to not colonize all of those fine looking planets in the northern systems have led to his downfall. He would've been able to support a very large fleet of ships if he would've colonized them but as it is he is all but done for. I'm sure losing that fleet of 15 ships hurt him badly and possibly that was his Last few ships. More information will come as it becomes available.

Asmala, I am ready to play again if you want to put be back on the hill. I lost my Last game so it's to the bottom for me.

The United Floral Empire surrendered to Black Hole Riders Empire at 2406.3! Too bad I have to wait pretty long for the next opponent http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif

Welcome back Geoschmo! I'm not sure if Cheeze continues playing but if he does so he's your next opponent. Btw you can delete the Cheeze vs Asmala game.

Re: Are you tough enough to be the "King of the Hill"?
 

I may lose once again, but I am NOT going to be the nightmare of an opponent (slow turn submission-wise) that I was with Asmala. Really, that game would probably have been over in early May if I could have maintained a reasonable pace.

I get to play Geo..WOW!! I feel like I am facing the great wise zen master of SEIV!!! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Re: Are you tough enough to be the "King of the Hill"?
 

Well, one look at my KOTH record should disabuse you of that notion. 5 wins and 5 losses only demonstrates that I play a lot of games. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Well if you will loose regardless of submission habits thats a nice attitude http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif
But on the other hand, you might even win with less time to think... Has happend often to me that NOT following the first impulse has, after long and careful thinking, lead to a totally wrong decision http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/shock.gif

King Title Defense IV: Stone Mill vs. Rollo
Turn 16

Encountered the Vikings around turn 10. Initial border scirmishes were totally in his favor. Some of that due to my bad risk taking.

I am utterly behind the 8-ball in this match, and will have to count on Rollo making mistakes in order to win. That is a poor hope for the Mercators.

With my poorest start to-date, most of the systems on my half of the map are plain useless. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif Rollo will chisel out an economic win by just hanging around. We'll see... I'll fight it out!

[non-KOTH member with future aspirations]

Wow, I wish there was a way to watch pbw games. Watching the title game between the strategy article master and the AI design master sounds really appealing.

[Back to lurking in this thread. But I like all the play by play updates. Thanks guys]

Mathias Ice vs. RexTorres: The Green Meanies of Mathias Ice have resigned in hopes the empire of RexTorres spares my people from slaughter. Set me up for my next victim. Or is that my next whooping. I AM learning though. Soon the Green Meanies will be a name to be feared... Hopefully... someday... eventually... maybe...
