KOTH BBegemott vs Asmala 2402.1

We took 10 good starting planets so both of us have expanded very fast. The map is a special one, Geoschmo made a 177-systems sphere-like grid map (extra warp points from top to bottom and left to right) map to us so there's a lot to exlore and expand. Actually there isn't lot to explore since we both took ancient trait but at least there's lot of space to expand.

Not much happened yet but the fierce expansion. BBegemott took religious trait and he has already researched the talisman so he has some advantage. I have destroyed a few planets using fighters, but that's all.

Borders are forming gradually so some battles are coming, but how soon, it will be a mystery.

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Yeah, you're very brave to use (nearly) the same start-up that he (Bbegemott) beat Rex with. I bet this game will be another "nailbiter", too.

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

It's actually 117 systems, not 177. But he is still to have his hands full with a religious player and a ten planet start I am sure.

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

Yep it's 117 systems, not 177. But even that is quite a lot against religious player, especially when the map is a grid map so there's no choke points to defend. Which means there's no warp point battles which are good when playing against religious player using nasty max range tactic. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif
