KOTH Match: Slynky -vs- Rextorres
2406.3
Trithian Empire surrenders to Rex Enclave. A few battles this way and that in the earlier game but the Last battle where the Enclave broke through one of my main defenses with over 50 ships was a blow I couldn't take. I would complain of bad luck, but as things were, it wouldn't have mattered very much. My 71 satellites were as far away from the warp hole as I have ever seen satellites placed before
(which put his fleet too far away for me to have much of a chance of hitting a ship...I believe I got one hit in around 125 shots). But when they closed in on me, I couldn't hit but one shot in 20 anyway. Besides that, my fleet was on the opposite side of the satellites...so his fleet moved out of range of the satellites. Though my fleet of around 15 ships was technically out teched by ECM 2/Sensor 2 (I had 1 and 1) and fully trained to 20/20, I could only hit him about 1 out of 10 shots (and only about 2 out of 5 if was beside a ship of his!). I just got ECM 2 Last turn and Sensor 2 this turn...not EVEN enough time to refit the other 50 ships I have built (and fully trained).
Map distribution was about even, I guess. Rex got a bit over half the map to himself. So, I can't complain about that. Basically, he just outplayed me with solid play. I tried to play a bit differently than I usually do, taking a few chances, but he caught me after a few turns and "fixed" things...
.
Congrats to Rex the KING!
PS: Ahhhh, what was I thinking...if he beat Asmala, what did I expect anyway, right? Also, I didn't post any game updates as I usually do since it doesn't seem to be Rex's style. So, we played in "silence" so to speak.
