Olden Ones -vs- Black Hole Alliance 2405.9
Key:
Olden Ones - top of the map
Black Hole Alliance - bottom of the map
Numbers - More than 1 homeworld in system
Letter T following name - Religious (has Talisman)
Greyed-out system - Nebulae or
worthless systems
PINKish lines - New warp lines (also note with earlier map down in the thread "blown" lines)
BLUE systems - Systems having major battles
General info - Both teams took one ancient race and two religious races.
Update - Well, it's been nearly 10 turns since the Last update.
As noted by Geo, things have taken a quick turn for the Black Hole Alliance. With the advent of "hole openers and closers", deadly raids have been made into 1FSTCAT's area, then into Geoschmo's area, and leading into RexTorres' area. Truth be told, most all of this has been Asmala
. Of course, as alluded to earlier in the thread, the matchup of people had its good and bad. Good for us and bad for the Olden Ones is the fact that Asmala was facing the person without the Talisman and pretty much left to expand and grow. Against Asmala, that's not good.
On the other side, Lord Chane has managed to withstand the onslaught of Intel ops against his empire...a fairly incredible feat if you ask me! At one point, half his empire was rioting and he had no resources. Not to mention "stolen" ships and invading fleets to contend with. But, he's turned the corner now.
Me? I'm just the guy with Ancient ability. I help out with research and a few ships here and there. My placement was a good location (having Talisman people left and right of me) except for expansion (my teammates are hogs....
).
Unless the Olden Ones have some surprises for us, the game might not go another 10 turns. (of course, IF they have some good surprises for us, it STILL might not go 10 turns...just a different outcome
).
1st Place - Asmala
2nd Place - RexTorres
3rd Place - Slynky
4th Place - Lord Chane
5th Place - Geoschmo
6th Place - 1FSTCAT
(I believe these are correct positions for the Olden Ones)
