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?
Absolutely NOT! It's very interesting how people start out turn 1. ( )

Cheeze vs Geoschmo - Turn 47

I might as well concede now. Geo just entered a system with a killer fleet, and I don't see any way I'll either catch or stop it before it does real damage. I'll keep fighting until the absolute end, I'd hate to deny him every little bit of well-earned gloating. And to add to the frustration of it, I'm getting an error during the combat replay, so I cannot get an absolute sense of what happened during the battle.

Oh, and did I fail to mention he's going wild with the intel operations?

Slynky -vs- Gandalph: 2407.8

(standard KOTH start with exception of GOOD starting homeworld)



Orange is Slynky and green is Gandalph.

Since Last update, mostly juggling for position. I sent a fleet south into location 2 to try and clear the area of Gandalph planets. Received too much damage and had to retreat for repairs. Also, moved eastward from location 1 to move toward his home system. One system away, I saw 42 ships and turned my *** around (had a fleet of 28 or so ships and felt VERY uncomfortable!). Went back to guard location 1.

Then later, headed south to location 2, again. This time with more success. This fleet joined up with various small fleets in location 3. Cleared location 3 of Gandalph colonies and moved to the west clearing more.

At Last turn, he showed up at location 2 with a fleet of 57 ships (I'd say 50 are warships). Will he move west toward location 3, or move north toward my colonies? I have respectable defenses ready for either. And, seeing the fleet I ran back to location 1 from many turns ago, does he have enough resources to support another fleet to stop me from invading to the east from location 1? And are they as well-trained as mine?

Surely there are casulties to be seen soon, so I have ordered 24 cruisers to be built. It's a drain on my resources (supporting over 150 ships is ALREADY a drain!) but I figure I will have resources available as soon as the serious fighting begins.

Another fun and nail-biting game springing from a start of only one homeworld.

I am consistently amazed at the numbers of ships some of the KOTH players are able to field! Maybe I'm just too conservative or something, but I take much longer to get all those ships out. With nearly every report posted here, I see how much further I have to go in my SE4 skills.

Well, I concede I have the advantage, but not knowing what else you have out there or where the core of your empire is I am not ready to say it's over just yet.

By the way, why are you here posting? Let's play already.

Grandpa Kim vs. Gozguy -- turn 75

The GK juggernaut rolls on! I have now relieved Goz of 2 more systems against only token resistance and am moving to take more as we speak. Whatever surprise he has in store he must use soon before riots bring his empire to a standstill. My two original fleets operating on opposite wings will soon be joined by two, more modern fleets.

I would say the end is in sight but experience says different. There's always something unexpected awaiting me.

Gandalph vs Slynky - 2407.9

Gandalph surrenders. My Last ditch strategy move failed and I lost my entire fleet. Slynky is now wielding Cruisers with PPB V and I am stuck on LC's with DUC V. I am not sure how I got so far behind in this one. I tried a new opening strategy that I thought would result in an advantage on colonies (at least the numbers suggested it). Oh well, back to the drawing board.
Congrats Slynky, it was a thrilling ride and I look forward to meeting you again.

Hey Asmala I notice there is still a game on the Hill that is over. Georgig defeated Zarix June 14.
