Right.

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

A few tips which would have helped me quite a lot in my first game:
- ECM, Combat Sensors and training are very, very needed. Fleet training is easy to handle, but you will need some time to train your ships. I guess you have heard about this one quite a lot of time, but it is one of the most important areas in the game, and can truly ruin the day if forgotten.
- There are not too many good weapons around ; above all, do forget about torpedoes and, to a lesser extent, seekers. Torpedoes are weak, and seekers are a bit hard to use with strategical combat, so you will want to be careful with these weapons. (I can tell you losing nine ships to two enemy ships, all else being equal save weaponry, does hurt. *Smirks*)
- Expansion is the key, as being cornered into a corner means a slow death. And if you are playing with someone fond of technology, you will want to do your research as quickly as possible. (Having at the very least 1,000 research points times the turn you are in is needed in all games. But having three times as much is not unusual if you do want to play a tech race)

Welcome to you and good luck! Hopefully you will not run into Asmala himself for your first game, or another similar player. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Rand vs. Grazic
Turn 2405.6
Rand surrenders.
Thanks Rand, You certinaly did a few things differently and I know things would have turned out differently, if I hadn't quickly mined that south key system. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

How long is it before a player is considered to have forfeited a PBW game?? Currently in my game vs Dav, the Last time he uploaded a turn was the 30th of May. Now, PBW has been down a lot recently, but what should I do?? I wanna play (I'm winning http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif ) but he isn't playing so...?? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/confused.gif

Thanks for the tips Alneyan...

I'll certainly keep that in mind once I get in my first match!

Hi Asmala.
Can you take me off the Hill because my free time has just crashed to almost nothing. I should be able to handle the games I'm in, but no others.
Sorry.

Just wondering if someone could point to the place in this massive thread where the 'standard' KOTH settings are described? Basically I just wanted to know if Intel was an issue along with the standard amount of Racial Points to create my KOTH empire...

Zhakartas and I are gonna duke it out and it should be nice and interesting!
