Thanks for the kind words.

It was a good game with a good map and good players. I was always on edge wondering just how far I was in 1st place. Of course, I wasn't in 1st place the whole game, you held it for quite a few turns.

I like the game because it wasn't a "one-battle decided it all" sort of game. We risked some large numbers a few times and had some 10-20 ship fleets a lot of times. I took a system, and you took it, and then I took it back, then you took it back. You captured some breathers and wiped out a system on the outside edge. Then I resettled it and broke through your defenses in the middle and outer edge. So, like I said, it was a fun game with a good turn-around time of game turns with a good sport. *bows*

And thanks for the ego boost. I agree, it was a fun fun game

Ok, They are now posted in the After Action Reports section. Just to warn you there is not too much information about playing styles, more on a measuring stick to see where you are in a game and what tech choices one person has made. Since you play him next, I would be fair and pass him just a bit about your setup and race in the last game. Maybe trade info before the start.

No problem. How shall we advertise we are ready to take on a team of two in a game with no mines and no intel (at the least)? Hmmmmm?

Well, it looks like we need some settings for the final game, Nomis. I'm sure Geo has set us up with a wonderful map (or will ).

What kind of settings do we want? Let's leave intel out of it, what say you? And since this is the last game, what better way to go out in a blast of glory than a full-tech game (grin)? Of course, I'll understand if that's a bit of a wild suggestion.

Anyway, what kind of proposal do you have, sir?

"No intel" sounds good. About full-tech, well I don't know... I've never played that way, but I could try.

Standard start settings are pretty fine for me. Perhaps, we could add few other rules. I've played only three 1vs1 online games, so I admit that I don't know how to make a game more fun.

When I watched Final of Champions League, one guy said "final shouldn't be played for show or fun, just should be won". I know that my chances for winning are rather low, so I'm gonna get some fun, at least

If you consider yourself the underdog, then I shall do the honorable thing and let you choose any settings beyond these:

No mines;
No intel;
3 good planets;

The rest is up to you--racial points, races, and any other settings you would like to ban.

Looking forward to a fun game like the last one where I was on edge for 3/4 of the game.

[edit] - I like the thrill of fulltech but considering your relatively newness to the 1 vs 1 games, it might not be very fair.

No mines.
No intel.
3 good planets.
100k starting resources.
Tech start lev: low.
Tech cost: medium.
Racial points: 2k.
No ruins and events.

Anything else?

Agreed. And I'll leave the power plant alone in your town. Errr, where do you live?

PS: I'll work on my empire in about 2 hours, I have something to do right now.

My empire done and uploaded.

I live in Krosno - little town (~40k inhabitants) in Poland. Believe me you won't be able to find it on a common map.

And you've asked me about my nickname. No, it isn't a reversed "Simon".
