Chane's Clan (Lord Chane) vs Taera Hive Imperium (Taera)

Turn 2400.1 had just been played - the game is just starting, not much to report. Just letting you know the game is on, and for now looks promising for me

but thats only my opinion, i realy cant tell now what Lord Chane is up to

Congrats to Grandpa Kim, and commeserations to Gozra.

Kim, unless someone else has jumped up also, it looks like we could be matched.

It will be a good game, I've learned a lot from you in our Last (non-koth) game, and more since, and will try to put that knowledge to good use...

Standard KOTH, ALPU, Tesco's new maps?

Well, I'm still managing to be competitive. I had hoped to Last longer than any other of his opponents but when Ilooked at his record, I see he has a game that Lasted nearly 150 turns. DRAT! Guess I'll have to settle for second longest game...

Hey you know you might want to consider starting to lose.

With all these doom and gloom updates you'd better or your credibility will be shot.

Poisened Bic Macs!!! Gosh were did they come from?? Here have some nice McNuggets...

The Kif (Mark the Merciful) vs The Primitive Horde (Primitive) turn; 2404.4

(Standard K.O.T.H. settings)

Our efforts have been heavily concentrated in the Eastern side of the galaxy, in a group of four disputed systems. Primitive managed to colonise the systems first, but I quickly established space superiority by getting ramships into the area (knocking off a few scouts and colony ships), and then managed to be the first to start laying mines in the warp-points.

I then started to get colony ships into the disputed systems, just as Primitive's fighters began launching into space. In one system (the furthest into Primitive's territory), they managed to clear out my colony as soon as it landed, and caught another colony ship on its way. However, the rest of my colonies and most of the space lanes were protected by mines, so while he tried to seal the four systems off from my empire, but couldn't actually do much damage.

Also, I'd already researched PDC IVs, and had PD Destroyers building. In a couple of turns they arrived, and quickly cleared any Primitive fighters out of open space.

Now, after a bit more skirmishing, maneuovering and minelaying, we're starting to build real warships. Primitive has moved onto Light Carriers (built on the Attack Carrier model with 5 Heavy DUC Vs). I've got some Light Cruisers with DUC Vs and Armour III. I've managed to lure one of the first carriers into a minefield (while re-establishing my colony in the South-Easternmost system), and blow up another with a small squadron of 2 LCs and 2 PDC DDs (taking heavy damage in the process). But Primitive has a squadron of five carrierrs collected and on the move. Where are they going? Are we going to fight a real battle soon? When do we get to see some evidence of the (in)famous rusty spears?

Tune in next week, for another exciting episode of Pigs in Spaaaaaaace!

Well, it took me about 10-12 turns to whittle that a big fleet of yours down. Meanwhile I've not seen any other fleets. Since your fleet was "cleaned out", it's been 4 or 5 more turns. So, I'd be rather silly to think something isn't going on that will bite my butt

.

And though I spread the word throughout the galaxy, my idiot population seems to be hooked on Big Macs from the skies...

Hey, Mark, I'm kinda curious what ship names your are using. Your "Pigs in Space" comment makes me wonder if you using such names as, "SizzlingPork, PorkBelly, or PorkMe"...
