We are kind of in the middle of doing that. That's what's causing the problems.

But it should be ok now. At least for the rest of the night.

Yep does seem ok now, Thanks.

Hmmm... No Ancient + No Intel and you have an agreement.

What about a Tesco map and 3 planets ?

Does not really matter to me. Could you inform Geo of whatever

Agreed.

Turn 69 and I have surrendered to Slynky.
Even before Slynky's offensive, my ship Maintenance was 100% of my income, with nowhere to colonise. Ice Colonisation was in queue, but I was destroying my Research Centres to support my fleet.
We attempted an offense of our own only to loose our 100+ ship fleet. We now have plenty of money but no way I'll be able to stop Slynky now.
Congrats and good luck in the next game Slynky.

Actually, I'm a bit astounded you did all you did! I had 141 ships when I saw your fleet of 106 heading my way. I had remote mining on asteroids of less than 200% (I really hate that!) for nearly a total of 40k that way. And could barely keep my fleet in the air (and build a few more things). You had 45 colonies at your biggest and I had 67 (73 at turn's end as my Ice colonys started landing). So, you had a heck of a fleet with an empire two thirds of mine.

We both know the map played a key role in this one. If I had to work with less than what I was given, I'm not sure what I would have done against you.

I was worried my 53 ships might get slaughtered against your 106 (a bit less than 100 warships). I had to hope my superior tech and full training would save me...that and first shot (where I managed to get 16 ships to start off the battle).

You played an excellent game, Baron.

I said when we first met that I wanted to change Home Systems. If it was the other way around, then things would have been different.

After that fleet was destroyed, I had a total of 3 ships and one of them was a Mine Layer. It was a Last ditch move that was going to prove the game one way or the other.
Give me a week or 2 break and then I'll challenge you for a rematch.
