I've enjoyed the game very much. The map gave the opportunity to build a huge empire, but it was so big that I had very few relations with empires that were at the other side of it. Too bad some of them have grown powerful enough to win without problem, and I've never even met them !

It also took me a lot of time to handle an empire with more than 120 planets...

I've got my *** kicked by the Taerans, which were attacked by me and the Xi'chung because of their refusal to enter into a partnership. Too bad the Chaos was busy fighting elsewhere, or this three empire alliance could have gone far and win this stupid war. It was a good lesson for later : if you have partners, don't declare a war that one of them can't join... After the fall of the Xi'chung and a brief period of subjugation (very hard to handle too, I had to mothball almost all my ships !), it took me a lot of time to go back to a normal situation. I wanted to fight with my allies the terran threat and gathered some big modern fleets, but it was too late, the game was over...

I forgot : Great game administration and mod too. After a long period of peace, I felt the global political situation getting worse and worse, and then exploding into several conflicts at the same time. It's been very exiting to see alliances and interests evolving...

I won't play the next sweet game, because I've got already two PBW games running and can't handle more at the same time, sorry.
