Re: PING: Ruatha
 

Yes, this war is only the biggest war going on for now and for quite a while. I know about the Kilrah/Argon conflit, but this one involves much less warships. And of course, the Zax/Rorg/Nyxian war will alter the fate of the galaxy, while I am not sure it will be the case for the other war. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif (Or of the other wars currently going on for that matter)

Your Empire is one of the three I don't know about, although I can guess where it is located. If I am right, that is not exactly an enjoyable position, even if it is definitively better than being right in the middle of the Three Empires aforementioned. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Re: PING: Ruatha
 

I am just trying to stay out of the major conflicts. On the other hand the Argons are probably my most trustworthy ally at the moment. However a potential conflict between me and the Brhaozuinf (I don't even bother trying to spell it anymore) has been averted and peacefully settled. I just hope I get enough time to get my fleets upto par for the course, so I can at least put up a decent fight should the big boys look toward the middle of the map. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif

Heh. The Kilrah/Argon conflict... I tried so hard to keep peace between those Groups. *sigh*

Re: PING: Ruatha
 

does the death shrine increase seeker damage? or only direct fire?

Re: PING: Ruatha
 

Yes, it cannot be spelled so I basically say the Free Communist Socialist Republic or rather, the Republic. (It should be like Bzwerzxv or something along these lines) A potential conflict between the Alteri and me has been settled as well. Good, it seems like neither of us wanted to fight.

Let's pray none of the big Empires will have a look at what is going on in this sector of the galaxy. If they destroy each other, they will pave the way to our future domination after all. *Smirks*

The death shrine *should* affect all weapons theoretically, but I never checked so.

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Hey, I didn't sneak, the warppoint was opend with a loud Bang! clearly to be heard in the whole system (despite the vacuum surrounding it, but who cares for physics when it interferes with fiction;)).
And you can hardly call 20 ships a "large" fleet - more for exploration than for combat. Look at the Zax+Rorg / Nyxian conflict - number of ships less than 3 digits = just not worth mentioning http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Re: PING: Ruatha
 

yea but from the distance it looks like you must have justabout maxed out the opening warp point tech...

and "20 ships" is a large amount if they are somwhere you dont expect them.

Re: PING: Ruatha
 

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">It wasn't SUCH a loud Bang! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif Only a 100-LY Bang! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif
Well, even one ship is a lot if it is blowing up a sun where you don't expect it (hi, Atrocities!) http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Re: PING: Ruatha
 

yess well,

*** gets out his list of players to be wary off and adds "likes to use warp tech and sd" under Roanon's name ***

I must say though, it did suprise the **** out of me, didnt expect it at all, and Im not even on the receving end!

Re: PING: Ruatha
 

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">That pretty much sums it up... my entire navy would have difficulties to challenge even what they call a "small fleet" http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Hehehe... perfectly understandable. I would be curious too. Well, I'll try to use a picture: Imagine a cute, innocent little squirrel caught between a lion, a wolf and a tiger...

I had no idea what to expect when I took over the Nether'noS. What shall I say? Normally, when you take over as replacement player, most of your time is dedicated to play the turns. In my case, it took only two turns until most of my time was dedicated to diplomacy... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

BTW: I was able to solve the Pickaxe situation http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon6.gif

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">You are going to do what? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/confused.gif Do you have suicidal tendencies? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Can you do yourself and us a favor and make that "later"? We already have enough trouble here http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">With emphasis on "afraid", I guess...

Re: PING: Ruatha
 

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Definitely. Whoever will prevail in this conflict, is likely to become the most powerful empire of the galaxy. To stay with my picture (see previous post): The squirrel will sit innocently beside a Tyrannosaurus Rex. Well, at least I can smile at approaching doom, hehehe... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">So, se5a, consider yourself lucky http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif Altough, if I'm getting killed it doesn't really matter if that's done by a lion or a Tyrannosaurus...
