I know the feeling Tesco, it happened to me as well against Geoschmo. It hurts to see the destruction of fifty beloved light carriers equiped with heavy-mounted DUC V against a mere fourty of his own ships. Guess I should have tried a ramming tactics, it would have proven to be most amusing.

*Snickers* Such a waste of minerals, but it was an emergency after all.

But I will comfort you Tesco, it might be worse if you are fighting an opponent with Combat Sensors III /ECM III and full training while you don't have any of these. Then it is definitively a one-sided battle, that is, a single ship of yours against a whole enemy fleet. (Well, unless these annoying weapon-platforms are on station)

RexTorres vs Slynky: Slynky surrenders. Not much point in investing time in this one. If I know anything, I know I need to have better than average systems and planets to work with in order to beat him

.

Me (in orange) having so many worthless systems around my home system and so few breathables with no minerals to speak of (my only colonies with minerals above 99% were 2-fac places)...well, I can't even keep 6 shipyards going and build other facs. I took a chance and didn't spend precious materials on mines in outlying areas (but he took a chance and killed 2 colonies anyway...

). My best systems were under constant contention while he started with a 46 fac-ability in his home system (I had 18).

He outplayed me as I tried to get to the only available breathables without benefit of any mines to cover them. I held them but at a cost that put me behind the "expansion curve" (so to speak).

Good playing, Rex! A mistake here or there and it might have been a bit different...I just don't think you made any.

Side note: Over one third of the systems were worthless. Wow! Also, second time I've played Rex (once for the KOTH) and we've only had 3 systems separating us both times...

Rex's homeworld marked in yellow.
Worthless places grayed out.

Tesco never spells people's names right... I think he does do it on purpose.

Listen...

Hear a noise?

BUMP

Bash Round 2 game.
I surrender to Asmala. I just couldn't couldn't catch a break this game and the 2 good systems that I needed, Asmala got to before I could take them.
Hopefully my early attack at least worried him for a little while.

The Arcadia league (that's me) surrenders in the Georgig/Alneyan Ratings bash game. What can I say? I have been obliterated by better strategy and a much stronger economy, while I made quite a lot of mistakes of my own. (Why you should *not* lower Environemental Resistance and Reproduction too much to name but one.) And then the long-term approach has never been a good idea when you are in a quite small galaxy with no choke points, not to mention using Light Carriers against Destroyers. Poor ideas, poor execution, poor leadership, uncontested victory for Georgig. Well done!

Now you should beware, for I am attempting to seize the much sought after Crown. That is, the Crown you earn when you lose all your four matches. For now I am half way, and if I keep on playing that well, I don't expect to win any game in the Tournament. (However, I do hope to win a certain KOTH game with Grazic. I can daydream, can't I?

)

Unless they were disabled, there is always the possibility of ruins.

They were disabled.

RexTorres, the enemy I have feared most to encounter. Lastly I met him in KOTH game and he kicked my butt so hard and thoroughly it's still timid.

Geo, are you going to update the Tournament Bracket? When you do it could you also correct the typo: Skynky has vexed me a long time.
