Sure you can! The hard part is playing 70 turns in one day...dawn to dusk, so to speak. Sort of brutal and "happy as a clam" at the same time. Speed chess, anyone?

K.O.T.H. Roanon vs RexTorres (Default settings)
Game is over, I surrendered.
Set me up at to bottom again, I'll try again to run uphill!

We met very early, around turn 5 or 6 as far as I remember. I wasn't prepared and he was too near already, so my homeworld was blockaded on the very next turn before I could react. Even though I was able to break blockade next turn and even advance for a short time, RexTorres kept sending warship after warship and he managed to push me back, reinvade and glass several of my planets - only a few turns before I finally finished researching mines - too late for me. Even though I was cornered I tried to keep up colonization in the vain hope that if he has more than double the warships than my whole fleet he didn't have that much colonizers. Unfortunately, I was wrong, plus of the 5 systems behind my home system that I had hoped to be able to colonize I encountered 1 nebula, 1 passing gas giant and 1 black hole sucking in one of my precious early colony ships. I doubt that I could have won, but maybe with less bad luck I may have Lasted longer.
I surrendered turn 34, when I had to notice that, in addition to frigates and all this fancy ship and combat stuff, RexTorres had researched mines too a few turns ago and was already busy laying them. Unable to leave the few systems that I was confined to, I had to give up.

I'm hoping for the next game and a few breathable planets larger than tiny...

I doubt we'll be able to do 95 turns in four days, my Father' Day present was to get to play SEIV all day, Does she love me or what?

Geoschmo vs Cheeze, 2403.9

Things are starting to warm up. I managed to throw together engough mine sweepers to overcome his planetary defenses and "Task Force Gardener" and succesfully eradicated the infestation from the Xiria system. That's one less system we share and one more in my control, for now anyway.

Ragnarok vs. Mathias Ice
2400.0

Our new empire is now underway. Construction queue is full and continuing to operate at peak efficientcy. Other then that...Nothing.

Hmmm, I guess I should wait until something more exciting happens to post an update, eh?

Thanks Tesco.
Have they fixed the phone lines permently yet?
I was always worried that when I advanced from that system with 2 Warp Points into your area, I would see your fleet advancing from the other warp point.
