Yes, I agree this has been a fun and mentally stimulating game. Not the least because we have been doing runs of quick turn-around turns. We also have some great moves-countermoves going.
Just realized I have been posting to the forum for a year now. Maybe I gain a rank by the end of the month.

Re: Are you tough enough to be the "King of the Hill"?
ohhh this is exiting, Phoenix-D has been a little more agressive than me, but my defence has stood up to the chalange. in a 2X DUCfrig vs 1X CSMfrig battle my lone frigate nearly took out one of his DUC frigates, might have goten both if he didnt have all that armor on!!!

Re: Are you tough enough to be the "King of the Hill"?
K.O.T.H. Slynky (Trithian Empire) vs Gecko (Andromedan Invaders)
Default KOTH, No Intel, Home Planet Value = Good
Tesco Map
2407.5
I concede the game to Slynky. We had a great time - solid plays and good sportsmanship.
Up the Hill for Slynky, back to the recycler for me.

Re: Are you tough enough to be the "King of the Hill"?
2403.5 Nodachi vs Alneyan
Settings: a good start, 100,000 resources, high tech cost, no racial point, no intel, a Tesco map.
Thirteen frigates. It says it all. Nodachi was hiding a small fleet in my systems, fleet that took out a colony before mines were Online. Now I know why he has been leading as far as score is concerned until this turn, when I eventually took back the lead. I knew there was something planned, but I hadn't expected him to send that number of warships. Unless he has a strange conception of the meaning of the verb "to scout". *Giggles*
As far as I know, I have a bigger share of the galaxy under my greedy hands, and I would expect my economy to be stronger, but I don't quite like the looks of it. I mean, thirteen frigates lurking, it doesn't bode well. Thus the question: who will earn his first victory in a KOTH match, Nodachi or myself? The bets are open!

I think it's about time to get back in the fun.

Re: Are you tough enough to be the "King of the Hill"?
And a welcome from me too, Gandalph  . The more the merrier. After all, the KOTH competition, I would hazard, is the longest and most active one.

Re: Are you tough enough to be the "King of the Hill"?
I thank GozGuy for a good game, who never conceded until the very end, even though for most of the game I had him contained into 2 'good' systems, plus 2 other blockaded planets.
I was to afraid of his minefield & defenses to continue the attack until I could be sure of victory, only to learn there were no minefields or Sats. Good con, Goz.
