<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">I do believe this is just our second king. Stome Mill was the first if I'm not mistaken.

Edit: I just thought of this after posting my message. But perhaps this could be added to the KOTH page. Make a section showing all the kings that we have had. How long they were able to hold their crown and so forth.

No, I rememeber now. It was Preacherman, not Gandalph. He beat me to become the first King. There was no King at the time. Then StoneMill unseated him.

What happened to Preacherman by the way. Haven't seen him lately.

Geoschmo

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">That's right. I forgot about him. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/rolleyes.gif I haven't seen him around here either.

The Book of the Kingdom of the Hill

In the begining the hill was dark and chaos reinged and all were embroiled in petty wars about it's base and sides and none was worthy to sit upon the throne.

And by the by did two step forward and through the right of victory over their enemies did lay claim the right to the mantle of the King. And thus did Preacherman face Geoschmo on the field of battle, and thus was Preacheman victorius and took his rightful place on the throne and Geoschmo was cast off into utter darkness.

And so Preacherman was the first true King and his reign was one of peace and light and all was well in the Kingdom of the Hill.

And by the by the good King Preacherman did grow old and feeble from lack of challange, so that when a the Mighty Stone Mill finally rose from the depths of the Hill he slew good King Preacheman with his sword and a twist of his hips.

And Stone Mill the magnificent took his place upon the throne and was crowned the second King. And he looked upon his Kingdom and said, "Thank you, Thank you verra much."

And thus all was well in the Kingdom of the Hill and all it's citizens lived in safety for Stone Mill the Magnificent was a mighty warrior. Three times did challangers rise to face the Stoney one, and three times did he slay them all in their course.

Asmala the Wise, 1FSTCAT the Brave, and RexTorres the Strong did all seek the throne, and all were denied in turn for Stone Mill was truely the King.

But by and by did the King grow fond of looking at himself in the mirror and practicing his snarl and eating the royal peanut butter and nanner sandwiches.

And thus did a new challenger come from the Northlands. One who was a king in his own right in the land of his birth and born and bred to the task of fighting. And thus did Rollo raise his sword up to smite King Stone Mill. And as King Stone Mill lifted himself from his throne to face the challenge of Rollo, he did by and by slip on a nanner peel and was slain.

And thus did Rollo the Fearsome become the third King. And all was good in the Kingdom of the Hill, for Rollo had brought beer.

LOL!!! Great stuff!! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Just daydreaming... perhaps it would be nice to add a "King's Corner" on the KOTH page with the legacy of the Kings, length of the reign, number of defenses...

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

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Great idea but I don't have time to carry it out. If someone can do the King's Corner it would be great.

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

LOL Geo.

Great book, keep it updated.

Ragnarok vs. Mathias_Ice

2406.4 - I have held first place for awhile now but a turn ago I lost it only to gain it back the next turn. This past turn was the first major battle. Mathias charged into one of my systems with if I remember correctly 20-25 ships. I had a fleet of 32 ships at that very warp point. Battle took place, I lost 2 ships, 3 others were damaged while he escaped with 2 that didn't get killed off that are now sitting at the warp point on my side waiting to be destroyed. Who knows what this means for me but hopefully it will be good. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif I am very suprised I am doing half way good with how much space I have and how bad of a start it was. But this has been a very fun game and I look forward to seeing the outcome. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

More updates to come.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Ok, you slug, you have been resting long enough. Get back to work on your Strategy Articles. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

p.s. Hmmm... I sure am in a butt-kicking mood all day today; the people who work for me are walking on eggshells. The "good cop, bad cop" plan works! I'll probably buy them lunch on Friday...

Slick.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Sorry, Slick, I know I owe you the final update to 17.3... It's been on my back-burner. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif
Let me get right on that sir.

Can you FedEx lunch?!? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif
