Geo -vs- Slynky: ("pick-up" KOTH game for fun)
At turn 64, I'd like to offer geo the opportunity to resign the game. It's a gentleman's offer. It may sound a bit pompus and I don't mean it to (read ahead before you decide).
His ships fight well and he does well against my ships even though he has inferior tech in almost every degree. If he had tech equal to mine, I'd be dead fast! The only problem is, it seems, that my empire design and starting location seems to have given me an insurmountable lead. It's hard to overcome someone who can throw "numbers" at you (though not being able to design and fight well).
At turn 64, I have nearly 200,000 minerals and 300,000 rads. I put 120,000 into tech a turn and will be getting another colony type in 2 turns. That's from 66 colonies in 18 systems. 51 ships, most of which are battle cruisers or cruisers. (and 12 more in SY's).
So, unless I am wrong, it seems pointless to continue and I would rather end it with a "handshake".
I would have him on my team in any contest...though I suspect he would choose many others before he chose me.
So, geo, what say you to calling an end to this game (which I
REALLY enjoyed)?
PS: Remember, my empire design is a secret...
