Morning all.
"Chronon vs Grazic, part deux" has finished with a win going to our "Rock Empire".
It was an extremely small map, and very early we were able to sneak a ship past the Nautilus Pirates defenses and was able to blockade their HomeWorld for a couple of turns, which certainly stopped their expansion.

Geo - Can you not delete the game for a day or two, because although I won, I surrendered to Chronon so that he could see the whole map, and my setup. Thanks.

[Chronon]

Yes, the rematch ended the same way as the first one. You're right BG, the blockade did slow down my expansion quite a bit. Note to self: don't let the homeworld be blockaded...

Everyone starts off with a loss or 2.
Fortunently for me, my first 2 one-on-one losses were playing 1.49 KOTH matches, so no-one knows about them.
Good luck, and you might as well join the KOTH games.

Slynky vs Geoschmo Ratings Challange 7

Well we met finaly around turn 25. We used a medium randomly generated map and for once it seems to have done a fairly good job of spacing us out.

This will indeed be a great challange and test of my ability. On top of being a highly skilled player and a fast expander, Slynky has chosen to play a religous race in this game. Being that we both had so much room to expand he has had plenty of time to develop the talisman. I expected it, and had it confirmed in our first combat this turn.

This will be a good test of those theories we developed for dealing with a talisman race. No allies to rely on to gang up on him this time.

Geo vs Slynky (that would be me):

Yes, very interesting map/matchup. In fact, one of Primitive's map preferences ("choke-point boy").

You can see the map (altered by me to hide warp links) that shows the point of contention...in the middle of the map. I am on the left and he is on the right (a slightly bigger portion...the pig!). There is another connection point that I am aware of (on the south) but that's it for now.

Funny part is that I was 1st place the whole game till we met. RIGHT after that, he swooped into 1st place. Been building everywhere I can and have LOTS of ships off the line but can't change position. So, is it the Talisman vs "brute force"? Throw in a mixture of strategy and skill and who knows.

One thing I DO know: Never take Geo for granted.

Glad I have over 100k in research; glad I have lots of resources; glad I have the Talisman (I think I will need it).

Primitives Challenge 2:
Well so much for me being in first. The organic scum has overpopulated his side and moving into my side
We are still flying same size fleets at each other.
I have been killing DNs in Groups of 20.
He has been killing base ships in Groups of 15.

edit: turn 52
