Turn 2404.7 Geoschmo versus Alneyan. The Astaralis Imperium (that's them)
against the Arcadia League (that's us! *Cheers*)
Contact was made as early as 2401.2 in a remote system, which was to become the theater of the most ludicrous battle the Galaxy had ever watched. Indeed, a powerful fleet of nine warships came from the Arcadia League against the three ships protecting the only planet of the Imperium in this system.
And, against all odds, the Imperium ships won the day without a single scratch. They were rumored to have bribed the Arcadian ship supposed to protect the invading fleet from seekers, but other darker rumors say the Arcadian gave wrong directives to their ships. (Actually, I did a "slight" mistake with Strategical Combat and the design of my ships, as I forgot to give my PDC ship a regular weapon. Thus, it fled the battle leaving my fleet exposed to seekers and hit and run attacks. Lesson number one, put a PDC on every single ship and put a weapon on every PDC ship)
Afterwards, nothing happened on this front, as the League was too ashamed for thinking of going back to the offensive. There were nothing but skirmishes involving scouts of both sides for two years, until the cold war became slighty hotter with the beginning of a new front on the Western side of the galaxy. And as I am speaking, a fleet from the Arcadia League is threatening a system of the Imperium, hoping history will not repeat itself.
We shall see who will be the victor of this war in a few months I guess.
Geo, am I the only one who has the distinctive feeling this game is rather peculiar?
(Incidentally, cheers to you for your impressive rate to play your turns, almost 50 turns in no more than two or three days. The game might be quite long, except if one of us has a secret weapon handy that is.
