Parabolize vs Slynky - 2407.8
Well, the game has been running a LONG time! Not that anyone cares (
) but I started the game with a bad placement (on the edge) and Parabolize was 2 systems to my inside. And, certainly, he was smart enough to block me in with mines to 7 and a half systems. Which means he had about 23 systems for expansion.
I lived with those systems through turn 50 when I got lucky and took 2 systems from him. Oh BOY...now I have 10 systems
. Tried a run on his property around turn 70 but got chased down by 15 kick-*** carriers that wiped all my sweepers and fleet out. (oh well, what could I expect, right?)
And, of course, I'm subject to intel attacks now for about 20 turns or more.
Managed to capture a planet and get some breathers...which gave me some "breathing room" (pun intended).
And somehow, I'm in first place (he must be mothballing everything he builds!). Just seeing how long I can Last but with 2 and a half times the empire as I have, it shouldn't be long. Amazed already it has gone this long!
