Game update: Geoschmo vs Slynky: Challenge Part Deux 2406.3.
Geo controls a slightly bigger part of the galaxy than I do (though I don't know how many are "worthless"). With no mines in the game and no stellar manip, it's very important to control vital points

. I've been pushing him back in a few places but it's scary. There are 4 defensive/offensive areas of much importance on the map.
I've nearly reached the "two" stage of the game: Nearly 2 million points, over 200,000 research, and over 200 ships.
