Default Re: Players wanted for PBW PvK Proportions Game #1

One powerful spot is still open in this game - the Space Vikings. The Vikings still have a powerful fleet of close to 30 ultra modern BC's and hold two Homeworlds - a major advantage in a Proportions game.

On this latest turn the Vikings AI demonstrated just how dangerous a Homeworld assault can be in Proportions and destroyed almost 40 invading ships (taking grave losses to their own defensive fleet, however). Meanwhile, their Primary Homeworld is well defended by BC's, and is in a position to strike back at the Human Confederation forces which have appeared in their back yard.

I'll be honest, the Space Viking position is challenging. However, the empire remains strong and is in an EXCELLENT position to counter-attack for the moment. A human player would really liven things up, and through diplomacy (the Vikings have several allies) might polarize a currently sleepy galaxy. It would be great to see someone take back the Viking's helm.

Agreed. The main trick may be balancing their budget, and developing new sources of income. They can't afford to maintain their entire fleet, so much of it is mothballed... but an influx of resources (from several possible sources I can think of) and careful play could really turn the situation around.

Ok, so the Proportions #3 game has already slowed down and it's only the fifth turn. Is this a temporary situation? If not, what are the options for speeding things up on a regular basis?

Just wondering...

Thanks,

Alarik
