Re: RTH has filled all slots; discuss the game here!

Turn 60 should be about right time for the serious fighting to start. That doesn't mean someone won't try a raid or two earlier, but they would leave themselves very vulnerable to counterattacks if...

Re: When all planets are lost?

That’s a cool offer. 20 turns of peace does sound like a good deal for 100 ships. You should have plenty of time to either get on his good side or to rebuild your fleet. Remember; in 20 turns he...

Re: AI not attacking undefended planets

Which AIs and patch are you using ?

In general the AI’s lack the killer instinct of a human, but the best TDM AIs are much better than the stock.

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