**** EA
I have been at war with them for over 100 turns. They declared war on me after I met one of their colony ships (which I did not attack). They are like all the way across the galaxy. It took me 15 turns to get a fleet over to them to fight. refueled the first few systems that belonged to my allie, then had to cross unfriendly systems of races that had most of their ships off fighting the colonials so they let my fleet pass unharmed, which was good because I was out of supplies at this time. My hungry crew keep to the mission and finally entered EA systems. Lucky for them that my spies convinced the EA homeworld to switch sides. (this was 60 turns ago). this gave my lone fleet a place to dock and make raids from. I have been stealling 50k supplies every turn from them, yet they refuse to surrender. It is almost like they have a second homeworld somewhere. They keep sending small fleets to test the island defenses. I sent two other fleets to help them and one fleet to take a couple of planets in other areas to set up a way to hop ships across to the war zone. Which now has the EA fighting me, the colonials and the rage. The colonials are fighting me, the EA, the RAGE and the EEE. My lone fleet is fighting the colonials and the AE. Planets in the war zone switch owners so fast that no one can build anything on them. I am determined to hold onto the EA homeworld at all cost. I can not get them to surrender for nothing.
The sad thing is the Pong have made allies of all of us and have colonized planets in every system. Parking a fleet over My outer planet, the EEE's ouher planet and the colonials ouher planet. That was 50 turns ago. They remain happy and seem to hold on to 4th place. The EEE have taken first place since they are not fighing much which 2,3 and 5th keep switching between me, the AE and the colonials. All three of us are hiiting each other with ship conVersion intells and not one of us has a single fleet that does not contain 5 or more ships of another race.
(ps we all started with a single homeworld, so I still do not know why the AE have not crummbled).
Oh, man the new patch just put this battle on hold. The AE have errors.
