The race begins!

[Slick]

It's turn 103 against the 9 best TDM AI's in a large quadrant. I just got the dreaded "your sun will blow up in 3 years" message in my home system. I have been building up my infrastructure as I'm still at peace with all AI's encountered. I prefer to let the AI's develop themselves before I go to war. Makes it more fun IMHO. Also with only 10 players, the AI tends to have more room to get established before they go to war. Makes them tougher and allows them to put their AI bonus to good use.

Fortunately, I'm making roughly 300k research points.

Unfortunately, I haven't researched Stellar Manip. at all yet nor have I researched Bases.

My plan is to shift all focus on building a ringworld around that star within 3 years or KA-BLOOIE!

Think I'll make it??? I think so, if I don't have too many battles to contend with before then. I just hope those darn Tessellate stay cool for a while...

I'll keep you informed.
