EEEvil Empire has arrived...and brought friends :)

[Deathstalker]

oh, as a Last note, this is a sim-move game so it is played just like pbw/pbemail, strat combat only, move at end of turn etc. Makes it much more difficult, AI's are set at max difficulty and on Med bonus...

I have only met up with the Orks, seem friendly, mainly playing a defensive game and not taking advantage of the AI's weaknesses.

I noticed that in your game, the Vaxin are dropping in the standings. I'm curious if you have any observations on how they are doing that might make them better.

[Deathstalker]

I attribute the Vaxin dropping due to the fact that their home system has little in the way of planets to colonize, the adjoining systems are all non-planets(just asteroids) or nebula, except for a system they are fighting over with the Orks and the Addisian home system, who they are also at war with. Combine this with the fact that both they and the Addisian colonize gas giants this spells trouble from the start. The system was a med cluster so the AI would have time to get a good start in their own clusters, didn't quite turn out that way...Am compiling turn 50 stats right now, havn't posted due to other things happening but I will post stats in a little while. As of turn 50 the Vaxin stand in 10th place, at war with two empires (Orks, Addisian), with only 4 planets (Aquilaeian have 27!!, Empire has 18 and the EEEvil have 12...).

Yep, I would put their place totally due to their starting position, which means everything in this game..No matter how good the AI is....(other games I have played they have remained top 3-4)

Anyone else have thoughts on the Vaxin?? (or for that matter, how are the EEEvil doing?? Anyone?.......)
