Geoschmo

If you are talking about my game, I didn't ask for Tesco maps. And I don't think DavidG/Kazarp did either. I just assumed you generated it from scratch.

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

Come on guys, work with me. I am trying to find a reason why this isn't my fault. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

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

Do Tesco's maps definitely have ruins on them? If so, I want to reconsider my earlier statement about our game start.

How strange, I still haven't gotten the email. Anyway, uploading my Empire now. I guess if you need to message me for some reason post a PM here.

FIGHT!!! FIGHT!!! FIGHT!!!

Well, as I said, there were ruins (standard KOTH startup specifies "no ruins") on planets. 2 planets that I could colonize in the next 4 turns. Having ruins adds more luck to the game than is needed.

In the interest of fairness, I asked for a restart. I did this even though I had 6 colonizable planets in my starting home system, 2 HUGE breathables and a SMALL breathable. Not something I see every game.

Well, now that I think back on it a bit, I believe you are right, Geo. I think I was the one who made the mistake...I apologize profusely ( http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif )

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

The Tesco's map that we are using does have Ruins. We have colonised 4 Ruin planets and discovered "Massive Engine" and "Massive Shield" Destroying Weapons and nothing on the other 2.
Might need to remake the maps, Tesco.

Ragnarok's "Baron Chasers! Federation" vs. Baron Grazic's "EEEvil EEEmpire"

2406.1 - Still no action in our game yet. The EEEvil EEEmpire is still in second place, and has been for some time.

In the one system we share, the EEEvil EEEmpire has 3 colonies, and a 17 ship strong fleet, with more ships incoming, while the Baron Chasers have only 1 Colony.

The Baron Chasers have attempted to explore furhter into EEEvil territory and have discovered a few minefields, and in the only warp point that wasn't mined, ran into our Ship Capture fleet. Thanks for the Tech Rags. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Secret details (No peeking Rags) = Although Warlord Ragnarok "imagines that the warp point is mined to the teeth" we have been very slow in discovering mines, only just launching a few mines before his scouts hit them and this is is the resaon we haven't attacked. This will be rectified very soon... Didn't I tell t=you not to look Rags. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif

KOTH Geo vs Cheeze - Turn 2408.7

The Flora had suffered massive setbacks, and it seemed the Reaper (hehe) was coming for certain. The Flora prepared several Last stand defenses, but it was clear that the Memnorak were far too superior in combat, and that was without their great advantage in numbers. An unexpected positive result in a crucial skirmish delayed the Memnorak advance, when their warfleet engaged three Flora fighter wings. A support convoy had met the warships but the fighters were between them, and one group of brave fighters swept into the support craft and did far more damage than expected. Three important colonies fell to the Memnorak, but went down in some great battles.

The Flora have devised new plans. When roots and tendrils cannot go through rock, they find ways to under or around it, and then wear the hard surface away. It apppears that some unexpected attacks have born fruit, and the Flora have taken root in some Imperium colonies.

For a game that seemed at an end around turn 40, it's still going!!! This is getting interesting!
