Top of the Hill Game
Primitive (Primitive Horde) vs. BBegemott (Mokulioni-2000 Empire)
Tesco Map; 3 planet start; other settings-default
Turn 2402.7
We both included Ancient Race in ours empire. I had better starting conditions (two smalls and one huge breatheble in one of my homesystem). I was able to box him in sending my first 2 escorts to block the key warps, thus limitting his expansion and leaving 5 systems to his control (The galaxy consists of 23 systems). Bad thing about this is that all planetless systems are in my side. The good thing is that I have aproximately twice as many colonies as my opponent. Despite of that Primitive was able to hold the 1st place for the Last 3 turns.
The game start was clearly in my favour (at least I thought so). However Primitive had different opinion...
The Last turn Primitive Horde fleet of 10 light carriers warps through one of the critical warps. It was protected with small garison of missile ships and 45 mines. (The minelayer ran out of mines the turn before
) That's funny. Primitive had exactly 45 minesweepers to sweep them out
and after destroying my warpsitters has open way (I hope he thinks so
)
into my territory...
The things are starting to heat up.
