Re: Are you tough enough to be the "King of the Hill"?
Well...
(1) I get to make post # 1600 (2) And I was bored, so... (3) Looked back over my KOTH games and discovered I've only played people OUT of the US... (4) Which made me wonder...how many people are in KOTH that are out of the US -vs- people in the US. Truly a worldwide game! (5) And finally, this post bumps the KOTH thread back to the first page where it belongs... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif |

Well if Primitive is up for a rematch I'll take another shot at the hill.

Re: Are you tough enough to be the "King of the Hill"?
Now when the PBW site is working again I'll do the updates to the KOTH page. If I forgot something please remind me.

Re: Are you tough enough to be the "King of the Hill"?
Holidays done, PBW back, it's time for another attack on the hill.
Asmala, put me back in at the bottom (or the base or the abyss or whatever its called at the moment) http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif |

The man called Primitive hefts his rusty (yet pointy) spear. The "Eye in the sky" has returned. Maybe this time he will get a poke at it. Better don your protective eyewear Geo http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon6.gif
Standard settings or a Tesco map ? I'm cool with any setting. Slynky, Rating is OK with me. Is there an extra bonus for beating Geo http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif |
Re: Are you tough enough to be the "King of the Hill"?
Slot me back into the hill as well.

As expected, the Baron has hung me out to dry. Every encounter was a devastating loss for me with minimal damage to him. Chalk one up for the Baron.
Asmala, I will be taking a break-- a bit busy lately-- but I'll be back at a later date. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif Good luck to all! |
Re: Are you tough enough to be the "King of the Hill"?
What can I say?
I won't say I'm not happy to beat Grandpa Kim, because he has taught me a lot in previous games, and I was worried at the start, but I would have preferred to take the win under fairer circumstances. After looking at the whole map - GK's side had 8 useless systems, where I only had 1. Plus the fact that I could defend a single warp point that led from the middle circle into my entire system, where GK had 3 Warp Points to defend from the centre. |
Re: Are you tough enough to be the "King of the Hill"?
KOTH page updated (again).
|
Re: Are you tough enough to be the "King of the Hill"?
I've surrendered to Roanon, so move him up.
This is my first KOTH game and I was outclassed from the beginning, making such newbie mistakes as building three mineral miners on a planet in a new system before remembering to build a space port, letting a heavily damaged colony ship limp around at speed 1 and suck up resources etc. I'm a bit sick right now (fainted clean away from an antibiotic injection this morning) so I don't feel up to a new KOTH game yet. Maybe next week when I feel better. I'll let you know Asmala. Thanks for the game Roanon and sorry for being such poor competition. |
Re: Are you tough enough to be the "King of the Hill"?
Sparhawk vs kazarp.
me not like this. 30 system map and we are next to each other !@#$%^&$%^&^, sorry.. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif Is this a bug in the program, because I have this now for almost 50 % of my KOTH games.... Well maybe we could have a restart or may the fastest win Sparhawk |
Re: Are you tough enough to be the "King of the Hill"?
Yes, it's a bug.

Re: Are you tough enough to be the "King of the Hill"?
Phoenix-D vs Steal Dragon
This one's a Devnull game. So far I can sum it up in two words: logistics nightmare. |
Re: Are you tough enough to be the "King of the Hill"?
Slynky -vs- Georgig 2406.2
Tough battle brewing here. Georgig has slowly been pushing me out of his area, the north. Early on, he wiped my first colony outpost so I settled in a system one jump down. More recently, he's clobbered all the planets I colonized in THAT system. In return, I'm managed to kill 2 colonies while he's removed 5 of mine. I suffered a bad ship loss about 10-12 turns ago and since then, both of us have been building shipcount up. But for me, minerals is a problem and even the asteroids in my area suck! Georgig owns a lot more systems than me but of those systems, there are a several "useless" ones. I'd say we were even enough in startup that neither has a lot to complain about. |
Re: Are you tough enough to be the "King of the Hill"?
Primitive -vs- Geoschmo 2403.2
We met fairly early. Before turn ten, and this is on a Tesco map too. I think maybe we were lucky on that though and both sent early ships in the same direction. The Primitive one has made heavy use of fighters early to considerable effect. I had some problems taking them out. Much more so then I remember ever having before. Lost more then a few escorts and frigates. The ships with no PDC just can't hit his fighters at all. I did finally overwhelm his defenses in that system and have taken a colony and few million Primitives. Though intellectually inferior we have discovered they can be taught remedial tasks well enough to be useful. And they have the advantage of being able to live on planets with no atmosphere. We are relocating them now. So we wait for the counter attack, or if it takes too long we move on forward. More to come. |

Re: Are you tough enough to be the "King of the Hill"?
Yeah, Primitive won. I could have fought a while but his force was overwhelming. The end was clear.
Asmala move him up and take me back off the hill. I think maybe I got back involved too soon. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif |
Re: Are you tough enough to be the "King of the Hill"?
Thanks for a great game Geo.

Re: Are you tough enough to be the "King of the Hill"?
Asmala, strike my previous request to remove me form the hill. Go ahead and put me back at the bottom. I'll give it another try.
|
Re: Are you tough enough to be the "King of the Hill"?
Please put me back on the hill as well. The group games simply move way too slowly.

K.O.T.H. GozGuy (Federation Oligarchy) vs Gecko (Andromedan Invaders)
Middle of the Hill Game Date: 2402.2 First Contact. An acceptable interval between game start and first contact. Our win/loss records in K.O.T.H. are virtually identical, so I am interested to see how this one plays out. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif Gecko |

K.O.T.H. Roanon vs. Primitive
A fairly small galaxy with starting positions not too far away. After a few territorial successes, I'm struggling to keep Primitive under control, and battling vs. my resource management. Will my poor resource management or Primitives hordes win, or do I have a chance to keep him under control? Very exciting game right now... |

Contact established turn 2401.2. How long can a poor newbie Last against Mr. PBW himself? Stay tuned. |
Re: Are you tough enough to be the "King of the Hill"?
Asmala vs Cheeze
It's over. Last time we played, I was so outmatched I couldn't even see how much better Asmala played. That might have happened this time too, except that I played so badly Asmala didn't need to put much effort into it. Once again, I go down in defeat, but I had fun on the trip. On the bright side, I had a couple of successful attacks, I just could put together any kind of coherent offensive. Among many things I should have done smarter was prepare defenses. With the ancient trait, it doesn't take a genius to figure out that Asmala would prepare an attack that would take the shortest route to my homeworld....just someone smarter than I was this game. One of these days I might make a better adversary, but that wasn't today. Nice game!!! |
Re: Are you tough enough to be the "King of the Hill"?
KOTH - Gandalph vs. Joachim
Standard map and settings Stardate 2411.3 Borders have been established for sometime. At first glance, the galaxy seems split evenly. I suspect that is not true as he has been outproducing me at every turn and has maintained a 1st place position for quite some time. There have been many battles fought in the border systems. Both of us have pushed through the border systems, at one point or another, only to be cut down by defending forces. I am only alive because my ships are technologically and militarily superior. In most battles, he has a hard time hitting me with his APB's and when he does, he has to get through my shields. My PPB's, however, are hitting him with regularity and, naturally, bypassing his shielding. Game is far from over. |

Primitive has won, having conquered my only resource planet that was too close to the border unfortuntely. Asmala, please give me a break, maybe I'll rejoin later. |
