Geoschmo vs Cheeze - Turn 2411.4
The Flora have begun moving forward on some fronts. The large battle in Cuyrok was heartening for the Flora empire, but it was by no means a certainty. The fleet was heavily damaged, and a second planet-assault fleet was almost entirely wiped out after also suffering heavy damage over a Memnorak planet. The ships needed resupply and repair. The captured Cuyrok colony allowed for both. Flora ships have moved into the neighboring system of Quesstris, which offers incredible colonization opportunities if they could be exploited. The Flora empire has never been stronger, yet is very vulnerable to any major defeat, and this makes any move one with agonizing possibilities. Perhaps 4 systems have been wrested from the Memnorak, 1 system remains contested, and 2 Flora systems are still in Memnorak control.
Geo- Playing with you? It's more like, "I can't afford to lose any fleets or ships so I must peek anywhere to find out how things look." I'm rather surprised I'm still in this game, as I figured I lacked any ability to defend myself. Do I point out I have been in first place for perhaps 7 turns the entire game? And one of those turns ain't now.
