VadimBey vs Cheeze, turn 227
VadimBey has won. This game went on incredibly long and was so much fun to play. I thought I was finished over 100 turns ago, but I was given the opportunity to recover and re-engage. I tried several different ideas, but mostly I lost because I was unfocused and erratic, changing things around and not following through on others. There was a point where I probably ought to have won as well, but Vadim was too spread out through the galaxy and was extremely well-served by having troops on many colonies and an enhanced happiness. Had I been playing someone who guts their happiness trait, they would have fallen apart at that point.
Playing VadimBey was like fighting a constrictor snake. Most of the game he moved slowly but decisively, and once he gained ground he rarely yielded. And he ended up choking me out until there was absolutely no way I could fight much further.
