I'm up for anything. How about a strange new Tesco map? <hr /></blockquote>Until the maps get a "lookover", how about one of Geo's maps from his Balance 1.1 Mod (I'd say one of his "balanced random" of the medium size with an adjustment in starting positions that puts a minimum of 5 systems between starting systems and a max of 10)?

Other settings (since you didn't make any suggestions)...how about:

1 or 3 GOOD homeworlds;
3,000 racial points;
No intel
No events
No AI
No Ancient ability

Joachim:

Uploading my file now. Hopefully, Geo won't mind spending a few extra minutes adjusting starting positions.

(Sure will be nice when the patch comes out...seems like I remember them tweaking the placement issue a bit)

Re: It\'s time for a new Tournament...Ratings Bash I

I will in about 4 hours when I get home.

Good Luck!

Bash final - Rex Rex and his Rex Empire VS the Primitive Hordes � Turn 50

Spiral arm of approx 80 systems 3 normal planets, no stellar and no ancient (Tanx to Rex for allowing the restart when first map was not as expected).

- First mad colonization rush:
The Horde manages to grab a slightly larger piece of the map. Holding it is another matter http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

- Some early skirmishing:
The Primitive ones favourite toy; cloacked mine layers, turned out to be largely useless as Rex had his sensor satellites up at approx the same time the first mines was placed behind his lines. Losses (for him) were disappointingly small.

- First small attack:
A fleet of 29 of Rex famous destroyers crosses the border in the south. The Horde refuses battle and vacates a partially colonized system. Rex presses into the next and glasses a planet very close to the warppoint. Before he gets to the next (only 2 in the system) a small fleet of hastily upgraded LCs intercept and destroy the raiders. The Horde won the battle, but the border is moved one system closer to home.

- Lull (sort of):
Guess both of us was busy colonizing with our second tech and researching.

- New attack:
This time a fleet of 70 of Rex�s ships (50 % LC�s, 50 % Destroyers) enters the southern system. The Horde once again refuses battle and vacates the Last planet. This time Rex don�t (dare to http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif ) follow through into the next system but turns back. Only the Primitive one knows what would have been waiting at warppoint http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif

- Turn 50, The Horde strikes back:
A raider fleet of some 25 LCs strikes into Rex territory in the far North and captures a planet. Rex has a small fleet of older ships there which should be easy meat if they engage. Only Rex knows if there are more ships hiding nearby. We will soon find out how much damage the raiders can manage to do.

- Status:
Don�t have a clue. The Horde still holds a slightly larger part of the map, but Rex has been in front on points for the entire game. If he is only a little bit in front then there is no problem, as he gets quite a bit of points from base shipyards and the (at this point in the game) useless destroyers. If he is far in front, then I�m in deep ****. The Tech he has shown so far is not too impressive, but who know what he has been hiding. A spyship hiding in a storm deep into Rex territory spotted some battleships at a disturbingly early date (turn 45 or something), but they need to have better weapons and speed than he has shown so far to be effective.

I�ll keep you posted. This is the most exciting/fun game I have been in for a long time. To those not voting for Rex in Slynky�s poll: WTF are you thinking, this guy is gooood http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: It\'s time for a new Tournament...Ratings Bash I

Nice update, Primitive. Thanks for letting us "little people" know how the "big guns" are doing.

You mean other than Joachim outproducing me (leaving me in 2nd place) even though he has much less than half of the galaxy map (Balance mod)? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif

Nope...nothing else to report. <hr /></blockquote>Yet everytime a new uber fleet engages a rat-tag motly collection of Slynky Junks I get wasted?? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Am I back in first? I gave up looking about ten turns ago as you'd been in first for a while.
