<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Hey, Tesco, by "stellar", do you mean Stellar Manipulation in a KOTH game?</font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Yeah, I'm sure that's what he meant. I can hardly believe it myself. Not many people will go for that technology in such a game. But if you have the time and it won't hurt anything why not? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Oh, nice wrap up BTW. I enjoyed seeing your reports. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

I was going to post a map to wrap up Ragnarok and my Last game, but I just could find out how to upload the file... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif

Grazic's EEEvil EEEmpire vs Grandpakim's Confederation 2401.8

3 turns ago an EEEvil colony ship warped into the central Hwansul system only to find a colony already there.
We sent a friendly message demanding them to get out of our system and the Grandpakim's Confederation insulted us by calling us UGLY...
The EEEvil EEEmpire may be insane, but we know an insult when we hear one, and the only reply we know is to crank out the War Ships...

Once there you will be in a reply screen, on the left hand side of the screen will be a link that says "Upload File Forum" click on that and it will open a small pop up with your browse button and the upload button. Find the file on your computer and upload it. It will then give you a link to use. Copy the link and post it in any message you want on the forums. Hope that helps. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Thanks Rags.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Check out my empire file. You will note the wee mistake I made. I forgot to increase my Intellignece and decrease my Repair. Going for intel was probably a mistake too. All that research and all those facility slots.

Here is another porblem I had. Check out how easy it is for you to move ships from 1 to 2. Now look what a pain it was for me to move between the 2 systems north of them. Made it hard to defend both systems or to have an attack fleet come out of either one.

Mark the (Un)mercifull is ready for a shot at the King. Primitive surrenders at turn 64.

I never got started in this game. Production was never enough to get any sort of usefull fleets together.
Only the threath of the rusty (yet pointy) spear kept Mark from crushing me much eariler http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Asmala:
It's vacation time. Can't start any new games before mid August. I'll send you a note when i am ready again http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

The Beer Chuggers Group (Ragnarok) vs. The Chin Empire (GozGuy)
We would like to post a correction
The Chin represent the Non-alcholic malt beverage Users and the Lollipop guild. Hopefully you Beer chuggers won't lick us.

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

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">OK. KOTH page updated.

There is now a very interesting match, Rollo vs Mark. Neither of them have lost a game http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/shock.gif

You might have been better off putting those 300,000 toward Ice (or Gas) tech and those intel facs to research and resources.

And, yes, I DID notice the difficulty you had defending points 1 and 2 (the reason why I decided it was a strategic point for me to control early in the game). I could move back and forth between #1 and #2 defensive points and you couldn't. Another possible mistake (always so easy to see in hindsight http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif ) was continuing on after you wiped all the planets at point #2. Might have been better to put a defense at the bottom hole in that system and consolidate. Then you would have had better access to point 1. But who really knows how that would have turned out, right? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif
