2403.2 The Arcadia League (Alneyan) against the EEEvil EEEmpire (Baron Grazic)
"Insanity at its best. We are puzzled by the behiavour of these... EEE beings. They do not seem to make any sense, no wonder since they pretend to be insane. But why would one say she is insane? Lunatics usually do not admit they are lunatics, unless they treat this trait as a quality. But why?
We can communicate with them, but nobody is able to decipher their babble and their ravings. Yet their speech can be fathomed, while their actions are indescriptible. We have seen them sending ships loaded with civilians against our own ships, and their main goal is to take control of wormholes. Such strategies were unheard of by the League until this encounter, and we were far from being ready to face such a threat for the very existence of galaxy and all civilization as we knew it. But whether we win our struggle against these malicious invaders or not, this moment shall be know as our finest hour."
As you can see, Grazic outwitted me on the military side of the conflict. I reached the contested systems a turn or two after him, and I made a few mistakes here and there. I expected him to grab a slightly bigger part of the galaxy, which may be quite a problem.
I believe my economy is in a somewhat better shape than his, if I can assume he told me the truth that is.
But it won't help me much if my military keeps on losing badly.
Incidentally, this game has been very fun for now, and the exchanges between the Puzzling League and the Insane EEE. In fact, I have been more interested in the exchanges themselves than in the strategy for these few turns. I'm afraid it will not help my side though.
