Rage vs Aquilaeian.

The Aquilaeian defeated the Rage before the turn 290.
Although the Rage offered a good combat, always looked like the victory for the Aquilaeian would be matter of time...

Here the link: Rage_vs_Aquilaeian_C3.zip

Also... the standings in the group C3 are:

Fazrah 3 points
Aquilaeian 3 points
Rage 0 point

Then, will need to run a tie-break between the Fazrah and Aquilaeian to determine the first place.

Orks vs Gron.

Like the first game between them, was a very interesting game!!
The Gron had the initiative and conquered Aargau, and believed the Orks will have problems to resist. But slowly the Orks recovered and won the game by points at the turn 500 (near to the turn 700 they killed the Gron).
Is very interesting to me, because the Gron is a "combo" race, and in theory, they should have a great advantage in the final sprint... but no, the Orks won 2 times, after be in a worst situation and recovered in the late game.

I had problems to run this game... once my computer crashed, other time, needed to cancel the process, because my wife needed to use Net2Phone.

Then, the standings in the group C5 are:

Tessellate 4
Orks 2
Gron 0

I guess Orks fight best with their backs against the wall.

Yeah, that was my guess, too.

This link is for the match Toron vs. Piundon. Could you please post the Ork-Gron match, I'm very interested in the savegames. Just want to figure out what went so terribly wrong.

Oh sorry. Are so many games, then, time in time I do mistakes...

About why the Orks won, really I'm not sure. But one reason think was they used the stellar manipulation with success.

Vikings vs Khrel.

This was the first game to decide who get the first place.
The Vikings won at the trun 310, and this will make hard the things for the Khrel, because the next game they will start in the upper side.

No problem. Without all your efforts there wouldn't be any savegames at all.

Yeah, they destroyed the Gron homeworlds. The only Gron system which had no system gravitational shield.
However, at this point (ca. turn 430) the game was already decided. The Orks had twice as many ships as the Gron (turn 255: 329 vs. 204, turn 355: 389 vs. 209). Very slowly that superior strength changed the course of the game. I guess the talisman protected the Gron from being buried much faster. (They still had a higher score for lots of turns but only because of resources/research etc.). However, at a certain point not even the talisman could help. The riots began (some colonies were lost but mainly the appearance of more and more Ork ships caused them). And riots equal being doomed...

A very interesting game affirming two former observations. My AIs don't use the abundance of resources provided by the bonus, at least not to the same degree as other AIs do. And secondly troops are crucial to prevent riots, which especially is true for the contest but for the "normal" game as well. I guess I can't help designing troops for my peaceful AIs...
