Slynky vs Parabolize: 2405.5

Parabolize surrenders.

The fleet that I invaded with is set, by looking at the surrender map, to invade without much of a problem. Anticipating a successful invasion, I built a colonizer to move in behind me to settle and make me a resupply center (though I had supply mods on the sweepers, they wouldn't get me too far).

As to the fleet of his in the middle of the map (I guessed correctly when I said 50 or so), it would have had a hard time breaking through either of the warp points it could have chosen as I had fighters, sats, and a fleet of 40 (trained) ships as both places.

I''m still amazed at his empire management and how he could build and maintain over 100 ships! I guess I still need to learn more. As tough an opponent as he is, I don't understand why his rating is so low. I wonder if he has had too much bad luck in other games (though, after a while, the luck should be averaged out).

Good game, Parabolize! I was on the edge of my computer seat till the end.
