Re: It\'s time for a new Tournament...Ratings Bash I
Actually, I'm a bit astounded you did all you did! I had 141 ships when I saw your fleet of 106 heading my way. I had remote mining on asteroids of less than 200% (I really hate that!) for nearly a total of 40k that way. And could barely keep my fleet in the air (and build a few more things). You had 45 colonies at your biggest and I had 67 (73 at turn's end as my Ice colonys started landing). So, you had a heck of a fleet with an empire two thirds of mine.
We both know the map played a key role in this one. If I had to work with less than what I was given, I'm not sure what I would have done against you.
I was worried my 53 ships might get slaughtered against your 106 (a bit less than 100 warships). I had to hope my superior tech and full training would save me...that and first shot (where I managed to get 16 ships to start off the battle).
You played an excellent game, Baron.
