Uh-oh, sounds ominous. I guess I should find you and kill you before you get your hands on something really nasty like a Talisman heh?

Seriously though, the only reason I asked to tweak my empire file was because my original one was set to assume that I'd have some breathing room at the beginning. When we changed to a random map, I had to account for the possibility that we might start right next to each other. I guess I should have stayed with the original .emp file then.

Parabolize vs. Deccan (Devnull Game)

Turn 30 and no contact yet. Sheesh. We must have started *real* far apart.

Arrrrggghhhh!

Still it takes guts to try for talisman in a game like this.

Chronon's Veruran Cooperative Vs Grazic's EEEvil EEEmpire - Ratings 3 Game - 2404.7

Things are starting to hot up. After the EEEvil EEEmpire cornered the Veruran early with mines, we were unable to take out the 2 Veruran planets behind the lines because of strong Organic Weapon Platforms already built.
We have populated 2/3rds of the Galaxy and have just recently come into contact with Organic Fighters.
So far no major battles, but the Veruran Cooperative can see our 20 ship strong fleet in Lapzooli to the south.

When will the EEEvil Lapzooli Fleet attack the lone colony of Lapzooli IV is the big question, and when will the Veruran attempt to clear the mine fields...
Only Time will tell, and shortly at the rate we are flying thru the turns...

Parabolize has me really confused. Obviously, he's building towards the talisman, but I keep entering systems expecting to find him there, but they're empty? Yet he's been leading for most of the game.

Hey, "dec", maybe he had a few of those systems where there are 40 planets in it and all of them are breathable...

Turn 60

Okay, Parabolize has the Talisman and is going on the offensive, and is still leading. I have no illusions about being able to win this game (*sigh*), but I'm not going to surrender just yet because I can see some cool battles looming ahead.

I do think I was screwed by the map though. Before I started moving into Parabolize's half of the map, I had found only 2 breathables.

From the planets of Parabolize that I've been able to see, he has far, far more than that. But again, it was gutsy to take Deeply Religious in a game like this, and I'm glad to see it paid off him at least this once.
