Why, we did not resort to such violent means for obvious reasons Slynky. Do not forget we were the ones being attacked, and we responsed to their offensive actions with proper use of diplomacy and limited tactical engagements without any involvement of civilian personnel. We were merely attempting to promote our ways in order to insure mutual prosperity with these two other Empires when our ships were shot down with no explanation. For the very survival of our societies was at stake, we had to take a few measures without jeopardizing our integrity and our honourable cultures.

Should I translate the above? It would be something along these lines: "Our hegemony being challenged by arrivists, we went on a full-scale war against them, sparing no effort to drive them back to the black hole they emerged from. To keep them at bay, deadly force was initialized against every and all enemy forces, ranging from lonely scouts to military battleGroups and encompassing threats such as asteroids and dust if their allegiance was questionable." I guess this is a bit closer to the reality than the above League propaganda.

Overall, a very enjoyable game and a most weird one. I admit I am quite surprised by how it plays out, as we have discussed a few times. We shall see what lies in store for our alliance Slynky.

WELL!

I'm convinced your verbose explanation of the space-strewn debris is most accurate, your Highness!

Finally Simplify and I agreed our game settings:

KOTH standard
+ intelligence
+ no none population
+ Random map with a manual placement.

Please, could someone moderate this?

Thanks in advance!

I'll get ya started, Master Belisarius

There she is guys.

To make sure I understand, you want intel on (the 'none' atomosphere is up to you guys), and a random small spiral (like in KOTH) with a fair placement of your empires. This right?
