Most likely the final update: Cheeze vs Asmala
I started this game in 2nd place, and it just got worse from there. It would not be true to say that Asmala was one step ahead of me the entire game....it was more like 3 or 4 miles (that's about 5-7 kilometers for you metric types
)
Barring some truly bizarre turn of events, like some 3rd empire entering the game and plowing into Asmala's exposed systems (if there are any), this game is over. Perhaps I can be toyed with a while, to pass the time until another unfortunate player faces this excellent opposition.
I have not had a chance to play my style of game because Asmala never gave me the opportunity. As I saw it, I had one real weakness to exploit to achieve victory, but I never came even slightly close to being able to take advantage of it.
Thanks for the beating...although I was so out-played I don't think I'll be learning anything from it...beyond fearing to play Asmala in KOTH another time!!!
Very nicely done!!
