Trithian Empire (Slynky) -vs- Kif Hegemony (Mark the Merciful): 2409.0

(standard KOTH game: 1 medium starting homeworld)

Well, not sure what to say. The game has been awesome. No matter how many ships I kill, he has more! For the standard game KOTH game (instead of the "quick start" some people choose with 3 good planets), the fleets and ship count is awesome! At one time, I had 138 ships. Then Mark "trimmed" it some .

The battle he talks of involved about 30 ships each. I won it but with lots of casulties. I thought I was safe, then he sent another 30 ships through the hole the turn after! Mind you, these were mostly battleships. No way I could hold under those conditions.

Of course, the "assisted" reduction in maintenance cost has allowed me to load up more yards.

I've been "porked", "chicken'd", "onion'd", and "cheese'd" till I think I've lost my taste for Pizza! If you have ever encountered his ships, you know what I mean.
