Are you tough enough to be the "King of the Hill"?

Hey Phoenix! Yeah, was a very strange game, we didnt meet each other till late in the game. LOL. I kept thinking I was playing by myself. Yes, you were very sneaky. I enjoyed the game.
Take care and good luck,
Til next time,

GozGUY has surrendered to the Thermolian’s. Can’t say it was much of a game, GozGUY was pinned into his home system the whole time. I did a little raiding early on. And he managed to break through the warp point once about mid way, but had little left after the battle to exploit his gain. I just moved another fleet to the warp point and re-mined it. His fighters did a little damage to my home system but were used up in a couple of turns. I just took it slow and played not to loose, which makes for a boring game. In the end it was economics that carried the day.

KOTH has been updated, at last. I blame my ISP for failing to give me access to the FTP for sixteen hours or so.

Did you realise we are the sixth thread view-wise on the boards? The thread was started quite a while longer before views started being counted, so I guess we lost a couple thousand more views (one or two of the threads that beat KOTH were started much more recently). I sure am popular. Kinda.

I have surendered to Glyn. He played a good game. I was a little unlucky as my half of the quadrant was severly mineral deficent. I had a lot of turns with planets sitting idle because I couldn't afford to keep them building. By the time I found a nice juicy mineral rich system (And oh what a system it was with 4 breathable worlds) it was on the border and I couldn't really take advantage of it. Spent too many turns building weapons platforms and not enough building mines.

But don't confuse my griping. Glyn probably would have won either way. He's a skileld player. But I would have given him a better game of it.

Alneyan, take me off the hill for a while. I need a break.

Good game Geo! My side of the map was mineral poor too! Half of my colony mineral production was in the system to the south of the border nebula system and it was five systems away from my home system.

From the final turn I estimate the production of our colonies to be nearly equal.
Geo: 169k min, 5.3k org, 11.3k rad
Glyn: 176k min, 1.1k org, 4.3k rad

But then when you add in my remote mining.
Remote: 131k min, 5.2k org, 56.6k rad.


I was worried there when we first meet, because you were ahead of me in research. You had fighters and an extra colony tech, but then you clamed only 1/3 of the map.

Thanks for the good game!

I can *recieve* email, but not *send* it at the moment, so let it be known I agree to the settings Dex Solo suggested in his email to the admin and myself.

I couldn't go any farther then that. By the time I got my economy straightened out to where I could expand again you had firmly established your defenses along the border.

KOTH has been updated. The last few days have been the busiest since I took over KOTH, with merely one game running at one point, even though there are now 19 players (that would've been 20 if not for you, Geoschmo!).

Please let me know if I've forgotten someone. For future reference, Parabolize gets dibs for moving up, as Tesco is not available for play at present.

Damn KOTH is amazing. I had more then one cardiac infarct during the game against Rathar. I guess for every ship I killed he shot down 4 of mine . Well I won this because I dominated the map and he could never reach my home system. Was a hard and funny fight. Lol and I had in the last rounds around 20 planets rioting, I think I should keep an eye on happiness this time .

[Slynky]

Congrats on a very precarious win. Not to mention, Rather's a rather good player... . Winning with planets rioting doesn't happen often.
