No seriously. That was a real humiliating experience (for me at least).
Thinking I'm doing quite nicely, and then: BOOM !!! 10 - 15 turns and I'm dead. At least I learned something (hopefully).

Congrats to Asmala for a very well played game. Lucky me who won't have to face him again in round 2.

I am playing in the 2003 PBW Open Tournament, rd1gm7. I was just curious how the other games are going. We are up to turn 2410.3, one empire is dead, and the leading two empires’ alliance was sundered recently by large fleet actions in their mutual forward edge of the battle area. To my knowledge, the leading empires have been batting around the two remaining empires at will. The tech level is getting very advanced and each empire’s navy numbers in the hundreds. The real fight for supremacy has just begun… http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/shock.gif

Game 4, rd1gm4 has ended at 2406.3

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">64 turns?! That seems quick for a 5-player game on that size of map. What happened?

Game 5

Turn 80. Two empires have withdrawn (leaving AI, I guess). So, there are only 3 players submitting turns.

"Hundreds of ships" ??? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/shock.gif Guess I have some serioius building to do to get to that level by turn 103!

Game 3

Turn 66. Probably another 30 turns before the Worms of Woe liberate the galaxy from the wretched tyranny of Other People.
