Last Friday I was in an car accident, and had to take a few days off this week as vacation to get things in order. In addition, I get two day off in the middle of the week any ways, so it worked out fine for me. On Sunday I started another game of SEIV this time with the intent of actually finishing it before I change something around and screw it all up again.
I am playing as the UCP Dominion, and having a great time of it. I have the UCP Fed, Klingon, and Rom as computer controlled advisaries in addition to the EA, Narn, and The Borg.
All in all, the game has progressed well. I gave the AI good bonus and started on low tech with high cost. Somewhere between turn 120 and 160, the Borg were defeated as were two of the neutral empires.
Right now, I am stomping the crap out of the UCP Federation, but they are doing a grand job of keeping me on my toes as they work into a defensive posture. The Romulans and the EA just declared war upon me and attacked. The EA's first assualt took out one entire system. (Very impressive AI here Mephisto) The Romulans, using a variation of Mephistos AI, are intelling the hell out of me. I have had to beef up my intel 10 fold over the course of the Last 20 turns.
The Narn are just hanging back as are the Klingons. I wonder what they are up too?
Stay tuned.
(Oh ya, like I really have a life!
