So, looking at your avatar, where is the crown? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Are you tough enough to be the \"King of the Hi
 

Well, hello.

I just recently joined the K.O.T.H. League, and I thought I would say hi. I just won my first game, so I guess I'll be seeing someone on the second level http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif

I am relatively new to PBW. Up to this point I have only played against Stock AI. Really, I joined this league, at least in part, to learn to play PBW better. I think that the quicker turns, as well as the skilled players, will help me to learn how to play well against humans. Also, I want to be King. I expect that I will be de-hilled many times before i make it to the top, but I will be up there someday.

I look forward to facing your empires in battle.

Well, that's a pretty good accomplishment. The AI is fairly easy to beat and some people get a real shock when they start playing against people. So...congratulations!

Re: Are you tough enough to be the \"King of the Hi
 

Well, it was kind of a fluke. We started out, literally, in bordering systems. My early expansion strategy worked out better than his in that situation. It made for a really quick game (21 turns). If we had started further apart his strategy would have worked out far better than it did. It also shortened the game considerably, limiting his ability to exploit my lack of knowledge of how to play against human opponents. Next time I'll suggest fixed start locations so we can get a better game.

Post in here or email Alneyan. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Re: Are you tough enough to be the \"King of the Hi
 

He has posted here, so it's fine. I will also check the status of the game if either player withdraws, as it is almost always a "game over, come in and check" signal.

There was no update yesterday because I was away for most of the day; in any event, I'm afraid you will have to wait for a while to meet up with someone on the second level of the Hill.

Parabolize v Joachim... turn 70

Its all over, Parabolize has surendered. It was a very back and forth game with some systems changing hands twice. I had two col techs and a training edge that made all the difference in the end. Of course, if you had given me two more turns I would have opened two warp points!

Thanks for the game and your great turn turnaraound (especially compared to my tardiness!).
