It\'s lonely here! (First post!)
There's no threads here, so I was compelled to make one...I just couldn't help myself!

Re: It\'s lonely here! (First post!)
This subforum could have used a better name... "after action report" sounds wrong somehow. Seems too limited, only applicable to battle reports. I think "game stories" would have been far more appropriate.

How about "Game Synopses?"

Re: It\'s lonely here! (First post!)
The AAR name is just a standard for the forums. This would be the place to put game stories.

I think that's because most other forums out there call it AAR, regardless if this is making sense.

Re: It\'s lonely here! (First post!)
Tessellates keep killing me on high bonus and high difficulty. One of these days I'll start right next to them and then I'll try to destroy them before they become powerful. All the gamey tactics and using tactical combat and exploiting the A.I. hasn't helped so far in beating them...

Re: It\'s lonely here! (First post!)
Interesting. How about more details on the game settings, your race, etc?

Re: It\'s lonely here! (First post!)
Maybe they should call this board "The Tactics Talk" and we could compare stratigies and ship builds here!!! I'm not familiar with the Tessellates (I've downloaded them but not played against them) so what is the general tactic that they use to defeat you?

Re: It\'s lonely here! (First post!)
The Tessellate won AI Deathmatch III, beating the United Flora for AI bragging rights.
In a 2000 point game I'm playing against the AIs, the Tessellate have Advanced Storage, Religious, and Crystallurgy. Their Strength is pathetic, Research and Mining are somewhat enhanced, Aggression is reduced, but Defense is improved. According to Master Belisarius, who ran the Deathmatch, the Tessellate beat the United Flora (another Religious race) by outbuilding and outnumbering them; Tessellate Construction is 120 in my game, and Maintenance is only 10%.
Given time to develop, I'm guessing a high-bonus Tessellate empire could overwhelm a human player with huge fleets of Crystalline-armored ships firing with the supernatural accuracy of the Talisman. I haven't seen that in my game, however, probably because I captured the Tessellate home system early.
