<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">What the??!! Looks like the King is already suppressing the scribes and changing the records. This game took 5 days. (or maybe Rags just forgot to count both the start and the end day. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif )

Geo -vs- Slynky: ("pick-up" KOTH game for fun)

At turn 64, I'd like to offer geo the opportunity to resign the game. It's a gentleman's offer. It may sound a bit pompus and I don't mean it to (read ahead before you decide).

His ships fight well and he does well against my ships even though he has inferior tech in almost every degree. If he had tech equal to mine, I'd be dead fast! The only problem is, it seems, that my empire design and starting location seems to have given me an insurmountable lead. It's hard to overcome someone who can throw "numbers" at you (though not being able to design and fight well).

At turn 64, I have nearly 200,000 minerals and 300,000 rads. I put 120,000 into tech a turn and will be getting another colony type in 2 turns. That's from 66 colonies in 18 systems. 51 ships, most of which are battle cruisers or cruisers. (and 12 more in SY's).

So, unless I am wrong, it seems pointless to continue and I would rather end it with a "handshake".

I would have him on my team in any contest...though I suspect he would choose many others before he chose me.

So, geo, what say you to calling an end to this game (which I REALLY enjoyed)?

PS: Remember, my empire design is a secret... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

2402.0 - Nodachi surrendered to Asmala.

What did I learn from this game? Don't step out in front of a speeding truck!! Still had fun though, got slaughtered, but had fun.

Stone, watch out, he coming back up! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

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

DavidG gets to move on up. I surrendered to him on stardate 2407.7. He had me outresearched by far, killing me quickly with a combo of large trained fleets and intel. I will start my climb again from the bottom.

Good luck on the way to the top Kazarp!

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

Quick update:

Asmala is stomping me into the dirt! I've never had so many "what the.." or "holy sh*#" moments than in this game. This gentleman is amazing!

Looks like my streak will continue! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Amazing that he could have researched "Trucks" and "Speeding Engines" by 20 turns into the game!

Slick.
