<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">I know how you feel but one needs to give it a shot anyway. Besides a bit of luck to swing things your way, the way I look at it, if I lose, perhaps I will learn something.

Oh...and there is always the KOTH cronicles one gets to appear in... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif </font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">You got that right - I was merrily taking out BB's planets with my fleets and all of a sudden I run into warp points with some surprises - which I won't divulge as a courtesy. Not to mention he also surprised me with a fleet out of nowhere which takes out three of my 10 home planets. Anyway my confidence is shaken and next time I'll remember to guard my rear more forcefully. Still I have plenty of fight left in me so he shouldn't get that crowned sized just yet.

Time to bump Gecko up and me down. At this rate I should invest in a padded stop at the bottom. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif

K.O.T.H. Master Belisarius vs Katchoo

Katchoo surrenders. Congratulations to MB on a well fought match.

Nothing exactly went right for me in this game. Rock Planets were scarce, which led to low Resource Mining, which led to me having to mothball every Ship that came off the assembly line right away. Even if I unmothballed my reserve Fleet of Frigates in time to strike first I would have either lost the Ships to MBs Warp Point defenses or lack of Resources.

Asmala, go ahead and bump MB up to the 3rd Floor. I'm taking a bit of a break with Christmas barrelling down, but I should be ready to be victimized again by the start of next week.

RexTorres (Rex Enclave) vs BBegemott (Vengeful Dreamers)
King match
Turn 2406.9
10 starting planets + Tesco Map + default

I was successfully resisting RexTorres pressure so far. If 'resistance' is the right word to mean that I was basically watchng his fleets destroy ~40 or so planets, including 6 huge breathebles. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/shock.gif

For the first time in the game I found myslef in the 1st place in this turn. However stats mean very little when stellar manip ships come into action.

I have glassed 5 Rextorres homeplanets already, but there are ~140 enemy ships split in two fleets in my teritory. And they pretend to rampage my homeworlds as well...

Now things are starting to heat up. The homeworld rush continues http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

David, do you actually play SE4, or just hang out in the forum making avatars? If so you should join KOTH.
