Oooh, Thermo, I have read a lot of your epics in the looong KOTH thread. Nice to see reports of how things are going. Some color, as it were.

NOW, in my game (do I hear yawning?), my poor peacful farmers, who had just recently discoverd space travel, built a few colony ships to explore the nearby planets when, suddenly, warships from an unknown species warped into their home system. Knowing they had not mastered the ability to build thier own warships, they worked overtime (read: EB...LOL) to build defensive platforms to try to ward off the potential enemy. After a few months, preparations were made and ships launched and the evil aggressors departed their home system.

Years passed and minor skirmishes ensued as each race tried to eek out a colony in the same system. Mines exploding, baited traps, and surprised by a development called "fighters", our empire plodded forward.

Fronts were being established and research carried out at frenzied paces.

It has turned into an interesting game and a few turns I even found myself in 1st place (only God knows how).
