RexTorres vs Slynky: Slynky surrenders. Not much point in investing time in this one. If I know anything, I know I need to have better than average systems and planets to work with in order to beat him
.
Me (in orange) having so many worthless systems around my home system and so few breathables with no minerals to speak of (my only colonies with minerals above 99% were 2-fac places)...well, I can't even keep 6 shipyards going and build other facs. I took a chance and didn't spend precious materials on mines in outlying areas (but he took a chance and killed 2 colonies anyway...
). My best systems were under constant contention while he started with a 46 fac-ability in his home system (I had 18).
He outplayed me as I tried to get to the only available breathables without benefit of any mines to cover them. I held them but at a cost that put me behind the "expansion curve" (so to speak).
Good playing, Rex! A mistake here or there and it might have been a bit different...I just don't think you made any.
Side note: Over one third of the systems were worthless. Wow! Also, second time I've played Rex (once for the KOTH) and we've only had 3 systems separating us both times...
