Default Re: finally finished my first game

Give PBW a shot. It really doesn't take all too much time. Especially if your only doing one game. It might take many months to finish but the most it will ever take in a day might be 15-20 minutes and that's only late in the game. In the beginning you'll be lucky if it takes a full minute to do your turn....

There is no better challenge than human players and the variety of their play is far more interesting. Human players will do things the AI would never ever even concieve. Some things will boggle your mind! Some will make you shake you head with the stupidity of it and then a few turns later you're shaking your head at the genius of it.

I've had a player actually bait me. I ran over a few of his systems that appeared to be defended though weakly. In my arrogance I thought I was just either better or farther ahead in tech and or something. In reality he had seen my attack coming.

He'd loaded those fringe systems of his with his scraps...

A few turns later no less then 3 cloaked fleets RAPED me. And then the kicker, 2 wormholes open in my rear area.... He didn't even bother capturing my homeworld, just nuked the star....

Ouch....

Play PBW my friend... You won't regret it...

Ken
