Geoschmo vs Cheeze, 2406.9
Deja Vu all over again.
For those of you that remember my epic battle with GozGuy this one is shaping up to be something similer. Here's the map.
All the red circles are my systems, although not every one has planets of course. Everything else I assume to be his systems, although probably not all those have planets either.
System A is one of mine for now, but Cheeze has a moderate sized fleet tearing it up and i have little in the way of defenses to stop him. System B is a Cheeze system and I have a large fleet doing the same to him. It's starting to feel like the ring around the rosey that GozGuy and I played for a while.
I believe I have been in first place for every turn, but that hasn't stopped Cheeze from dealing me several serious blows. Capturing planets, wiping out fleets, etc.
If I had to pick, I would say I have a slight advantage at this point. Mainly because I know where his Homesystem is (C) and and I have a pretty good size fleet fairly close to it. I don't know how much he has there to defend it, but I know how much I have, and I know how much he is throwing against me in the North. So for me to still be in first place he can't have all that much anywhere else. At least that's what I am telling myself.
Techwise I'd call it even. He might have a slight edge. Unfortunatly though I have allowed him to live long enough to develop his organic technology. I am starting to see organic armor and some decent Organic weapons. If that trend continues I could have some problems.
He has yet to counter a single intel project that I have thrown at him. Mostly I have been doing nuisance projects so perhaps he has just decided to ignore them. The only one that has failed was a crew insurrection I pulled on a carrier that I blew up in combat the same turn the project completed. Ah well...
