Are you tough enough to be the "King of the Hill"? - Page 132

Sorry for your loss Rags, but at least I now have an opponent.

Standard Game, ALPU, with one of Tesco's maps for an even start?

Sounds good to me.

Especially the even start part.

It's a shame Asmala seems off-line, or we could be starting now...

...Give me some time to catch my breath!

No, if he were Online that would be cool to get right into the heat of things.

Ragnarok vs Mathias Ice

WOW!!! What a game! I can't believe Ragnarok held out as long as he did. How did you manage to keep ahead on research? That still has me scratching my head.(The PPB V's were on their way.) Considering I controlled 3/4 of the galaxy for most of the game it seems to me I should have been able to end it sooner than I did. Chalk that up to newbie cautiousness. Ragnarok mentioned a while back that he initially felt confident about his opening position. I thought that was kind of ironic because my first thought at starting this match was "Oh no, he's gonna be right be on top me."

Thanks for a great game, Ragnarok!

"Movin' on up"

You guys could always start the game yourselves.

Of course you may end up not being matched. You don't know who might have sent an email to Asmala in the mean time that might end up playing against Grazic.

Hmmm, I didn't even think of that.

That would work as long as no one else joined or other games have ended that we know about.

I don't know either.

I guess I just had most of my research centers in the middle of my empire allowing me to keep researching even though you were taking out some of my outer planets. When battles were not taking place I guess I just research in a way that allowed me to get 2 or 3 techs while you were researching a bigger item? I really don't know about that one, but I did have a good research base going for me that certainly helped prolong the end.

Heh KOTH gang - this thread is excellent so I couldn't resist stepping out from behind the peasants and gazing upon the hill in desire...

Gandalph V Joachim

Only done my empire, just waiting on getting to my home 'puter to do the first turn. But, Empire set up was very hard, knowing that it would be quick and nasty makes for a very different empire construction! Hopefully I will learn heaps from you guys as I grub around the bottom of the hill!

Stay tuned for more peasant updates...

Greetings to Joachim, from a fellew peasant.

Do a search for a forum called "Koth Clone" which talks about the best Koth setup. Somewhere deap in this thread would be setup options too.
Make sure you seriously think about maxing Combat Attack & Defense, Construction & Maintenance.
But then again, I'm on the bottom of the hill so that doesn't mean my setup is best

, and besides I am still changing my Empire from game to game...

Rags - I'm going away for the weekend, might be able to get on-line but doubt it, so start on Monday, assuming we are matched of course.

Edit - Sorry should have said Oz weekend, in about 1 hour...

And most important of all (IMO), assume your ships are useless cannon foder untill they are trained to 20% and in a fleet trained to 20%
