NGC3 Game over

I learned my lesson with score victories.

Damn, and I just sent out the first blatent bull$hit red faced lie, diplomatic message.

To whomever took over my Trandosian empire in NGC3, how did you fair in the game? I started out with a couple of good ruin planets and no close enemies, but with None atmosphere, I had somewhat bad luck in the beginning with not too many planets to colonize. Unfortunately, I was forced to bail out (due to real life time constraints) somewhere around turn 80 just as my neighbors were starting to poke at me to test the borders. I'd really like any feedback on how well or how terrible you thought my empire setup and initial expansion was.

Nobody attacked you Slick, although I was considering it, and would have taken over your Empire if it wasn't for the East Alliance which was slightly more dangerous. I don't know how was your Empire when you left it, but it did suffer from AI leadership and was much weaker at the end of the game according to my intelligence.

My own Empire was built over a gold mine, with the Talisman and a lot of systems (only Kilrah had more systems, and the Swedes had about as many), and they could have been quite a lot stronger without the AI leadership and my own silliness. They were mainly behind in technology and space yards, and so had a few hundred outdated light cruisers. (About 400 equipped with PPB, with effective APB coming Online a few turns later.) Does anyone know a good course for this subject: "How to properly rule an Empire in the age of space travel"? Thanks in advance.

FYI, A new 20 Player PBW game, slightly different to the NGC series but incorporating lessons from it, has been started (as has NGC4, by the way).

It was requested that I mention this on this thread as many NGC3 players might want to get in on the game.

It's listed on PBW under "Zeta Quadrant" and the thread is at:

Thanks, and sorry for the cross-post
