Are you tough enough to be the "King of the Hill"? - Page 159

Wouldn't call it initiative if I am forced to produce warships instead of colony ships.

Asmala, Georgig and I have agreed to use standard KOTH start with a GOOD homeworld.

Space Vikings Clan (Rollo) vs The Kif Hegemony (Mark) - Turn 2402.2

(Normal KOTH settings)

Well, we've just met, on both sides of the map. So far all we've seen are colonies and colony ships. No one (as far as I can tell) has any "geographical" advantage, and we have pretty similar race designs, so it's going to be a close fight. But we haven't been able to move very fast (two turns a day, most days).

More news, as it happens.

Asmala, move GozGuy up a level and assign me a new foe. I have surrendered on date 2407.9. I lost my large fleet and there was no way I would be able to rebuild fast enough. I will post you all a map tomorrow evening to show you what I was going through.

But he did a great job taking care of me quickly. He's a very good player and one ya'll should watch out for up the hill.

Grazic's EEEvil EEEmpire vs Grandpakim's Confederation Update - 2406.8

GK now knows exactly where the EEEvil navigators took our main fleet. We went home to resupply and retrofit our fleet. Kim now knows that we have new technology called "Shields V" & "Combat Sensors III" on our fleet. He learnt this the hard way. A GK fleet warped into our system 1 day before our fleet could defend it. The battle took place on the EEEvil side of the Warp point to the southern central system. First shot didn't help GK with 17 LCs (1 captured) & 9 DCs destroyed, with EEEvil loses totalling 5 FGs, 9 DSs & 4 LCs, plus 5 ships damaged.

GK's colonial office has recolonized Ghedran I, one turn before our Mine Layer "planted nasty little mines" over the warp point.

The EEEvil EEEmpire has not recolonized any "stolen systems" but we did recolonise our Hwansul V planet in the south central system, only to have GK destroy it (this planets 3rd battle).

Will the EEEvil Fleet attack, or repair itself?
How long can the GK colony of Ghedran I Last?
Will a new colony be created on Hwansul V & can it survive?
Why has all the heavy fighting taken place in the south systems?
Are their any Fleets to the north?

Stay tuned for the next episode?

Thank you.
The game was up for grabs until The main fleet battle turn 2407.8 Thanks for great game. I really enjoyed the BeerChuggers group shipset.

As did I.

I guess you could say I held on by the hair of my "chiney chin chin" eh?

(Pun intended of course.)

Ok, as promised here is a map of what I was facing in my Last game with GozGuy.

Blue systems are GozGuy controled. Red are my systems. Of course the rest of the map belongs to GozGuy as well. In my 1/3 of the map there were pretty much no worthwhile planets to work with. I don't know how it was on his side but my side was awful. You can see my home system is clear down at the bottom there of my side. There was no way I was goingto be able to match his economy due to my limited space. But that's the way things go in this game and it was still a fun game to play. The major battle took place in GozGuy's system (going from left to right (1st yellow line)). It was there that I lost my huge fleet basically on a suicide mission but trying to clear up some more resources. (Seriously)

I needed more money to build intel centers to defend myself and get top of the line ships out. But I decided it was futile to even try to come back. Anyways...I'm blabbering here.

Edit: sorry about the poor map. I don't have time to make a fancy one.

Perhaps next game I'll get fancy. I mean fancy. Just wait till you see what I have planner. *evil grin*
