Yes, It was a great game.
I don't know if it was a close one (well me and my partner were not even close to our homesystem), but it was certainly a great victory for stonemill and dinglehopper.
about the game: Early in the game everyone was just friendly to each other, untill I had contact with whatsit (stonemill). He was really starting to play hard game just from the beginning(I like that!
) and I had no time to prepair myself for his forces
.
For me it went down from that point, got first beaten by 1fstcat and had to wait for 20 turns before I got some planets running.
During that time I also was allied to hiruu (because two players quit), and because we were first enemies (turn1-20) and now allies, we layed somewhat behind with the other teams.
For me it was fun to play, first knowing that you have to coordinate the colonization and exploration to find your homeworld and partner.
And secondly that the game can be won, even if your are not winning (well, stonemill and dinglehopper were winning on both terrains) the game by force, but also if you colonize your homeplanet.
Thanks to all the players and Geoschmo for making this game a great experience.
