Re: Are you tough enough to be the "King of the Hill"?
Trithian Empire (Slynky) -vs- Kif Hegemony (Mark the Merciful): 2410.5
(standard KOTH game: 1 medium starting homeworld)
Well, 105 turns into the game and again, I think (since I haven't read it before in other games, especially in standard 1-planet KOTH games, some different tactics:
Seemed like I was battling against a wall with Mark. Fleet after fleet thrown against each other. Mostly battleships for the Last 20-30 turns! I thought I was building well enough to keep ahead of him but he came back with large fleets and, latest of all, phased shield IVs! Put a real halt to my PPBs.
So, stellar manipulation was put in priority and I began closing holes that I was worried about. Five of them altogether, so I built 2 "closers". Behind them, 2 "openers".
This turn began my "wormhole" tactics.
Resource production is over 600,000 (to keep me in builds and my fleet of over 150 ships in space)!
This has turned into one WILD game...and all from one medium homeworld! Mark is a damn good player!
