I wish I didn't have to believe it. We'll see how things go in the next few turns to find out if I will tell you why.

Re: Are you tough enough to be the "King of the Hill"?
RexTorres's Abbidon (Rock Oxygen) Vs Grazic's EEEvil EEEmpire (Ice Methane) - Standard KOTH match - 2402.6
Rex and myself started this game in earnest today.
So far it is a big land grab with Rex taking the advantage, keeping me locked into a third of the Galaxy.
No fights as yet, but mine layers are working over time, and Rex's Colony ships seem to just get their mines launched before my ships attack, giving his settlers a nice Firework display to celebrate their new colony.
Death Toll to mines :-
EEEvil EEEmpire - 2 Escorts & 2 Frigates.
Abbidon - 1 Colony Ship.

I think you'll find that same URL in all of Geoschmo's Posts in here, too. He used to take care of it.

Re: Are you tough enough to be the "King of the Hill"?
KOTH Title Defense IV: Stone Mill vs. Rollo
Turn 40
It's the beginning of the end.
I managed to piece together a medium-sized raid on Rollo's outpost system which ended in tradgedy. Note to self: if you are using ship capture, you must set that strategy to "ships- break formation." My boarding ships sat around and got pounded. He had the edge with some armor and sensors II vs my sensors I, but most else was even.
I managed to capture a planet (lost to a counterattack) and capture some of his ships in a second raid, but then... 
The reality of a bad ecomonic start and early mistakes finally rears its ugly head- Rollo comes busting through with a 70 ship fleet.
Rollo is a great player who needs no advantage... and I know what kind of start he had... I took Ancient Race. The luck of the draw made this one very tough for me... I scrapped together resources from most every available planet, but unless he was sloppy or careless, it would be impossible for me to keep up.
I hate playing games where I have to gamble from behind the 8-ball... I often guess wrong.
So... my production can't even come close to stopping that big fleet. I may be able to delay it with creative tactics... but the end is in sight...
...Bags really packed this time. Time to issue Last minute executive orders and pardons...

Re: Are you tough enough to be the "King of the Hill"?
Wow, Stone. Looks like a tough game. (Not to take anything away from Rollo).
It would have been interesting (to me, anyway) to hear more about growth and progress along the way...after all, the battle is taking place on top of the hill!
(perhaps you have a surprise for him and are keeping it secret from this thread... )

Re: Are you tough enough to be the "King of the Hill"?
Hey, is that "fat" Elvis I see?
Nice streak, Stone. Well done!
And congrats, Rollo!
(Rollo must have used a secret weapon...donut-shaped ships )
