<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Score means very little in most games, and even less so in Koth. You may have been in second place the entire game and only behind me by a few points the whole time. In fact I think this is rather likely as it seems every time we have a major battle where I lose a few ships you jump into first for a few turns.

Latest update - turn 2411.7

Having decided that no advantage is to be had by waiting for the Flora ships to come to us, the Memnorak have sent every ship that can be spared in Last ditch effort to take out the weeds the only way possible, at the root. The fleet of 46 ships has used the cover of a nebulae system and has already reached deeper into Flora space then any Imperium ship previously. We estimate we are within four turns of the closest Fauna homewold. Meanwhile, knowing there is no chance to stop them outright, all efforts are being made to slow the advance of the enemy forward elements. Depending on the number of ships the green ones have left to defend their core systems it may be possible to strike hard and starve them of the resources neccesary to continue the war. If not, things will be going very badly for us soon.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">That's interesting because I'm the other way around. Early game is my worst time... Then as the game progresses I get better and better. So the longer the game goes the better off I'll be. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Geoschmo vs. Cheeze, 2412.2

Scratch one Flora Homeworld. Lost a few ships and not sure how much longer my fleet is gonna Last, but I got one of his homeworlds. The other two are in my sights. Gonna give it the old college try.

My fighting retreat in the north is progressing. The flower children came through a warp point expecting a big battle and found only a deserted system. If his ships need resupply they are gonna have to build their own this time.

In the south I pounced his small fleet that was capturing my planets. I am sure it's no big loss for him but it should give him something else to think about since I hadn't used capture ships previously and his war fleets have no shields, security stations, or SDD's on them. Wouldn't it be sad if his big fleet got all the way to my home system and all got captured coming through the Last warp point. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Geoschmo vs. Cheeze, 2412.3

Scratch two Flora homeworlds. Two down, one to go. And the small capture fleet he provided me with Last turn was put to good use recapturing my planet he had just taken. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

No matter the ultimate outcome here, it's been fun.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Another nail-biter, I'd say. Is there a "fat lady" singing somewhere?

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

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Well, it is quite tense at the moment. He appears to be throwing caution to the wind now in an effort to take out my homesystem. I have seen little or nothing in the way of defenses in his core systems and my fleets biggest problem at the moment is a lack of supply. He managed to take out my troop ship so I have not been able to capture a planet to use as a resupply base. I think I have my problem in that area remedied now and will begin again destroying his planets soon.

Meanwhile he came at my homesystem from two different directions simultaneously. I stopped the first fleet cold. The second, larger Flora fleet is on the other side of the warp point as we speak. Everything now depends on the results of this battle. If my fleet holds at the warp point I think I will win. If I don't, I will have nothing left in a position to do anything to stop him from gutting my empire.

The next turn will tell the tale.

Dundas Redneck Clan (Kazarp) -vs- Trithian Empire (Slynky) 2405.8

Latest update for Last 20 months or so: Nothing happening.

Military Intel suggests that the Trithian Empire are bunch of spinless cowards who will be the first up against the wall when the revolution starts. Despite their diabolical declaration of war and their 1st place status they are too cowardly to press the attack.
