Koth: Parabolize vs Renegade 13
Turn 27, I surrender to Parabolize. This was a very odd game...we started out in systems right next to each other! I made an early attack at one of his homeworlds with some missile frigates, but was defeated. I also didn't colonize very fast, hoping I could beat him fast with frigates with missiles. Unfortunately, that didn't work. Soon after that he mined me mostly into my homeworld (I only had one colony outside my home system). Once he mined me in, that was basically it. I held out hope for the next 15 turns or so, and made some minesweepers and took a warp point. However, he struck back, captured some of my minesweepers, and destroyed all my warships. Next turn he glass 2 of my 7 worlds, and after that I surrendered to him. There was no way I could overcome his massive advantage, both in time to colonize, and ship numbers.
It was a good (if weird) game Parabolize, and I only wish I could have offered a bit more of a challenge to you. Good luck at the top!
Alneyan, please move me to the bottom of the hill....and damn, its a loooooooong way down from here
