Slynky wins. We started by agreeing to make the skill involving more planning and variety. So neither of us took the bezerker handicap or raised aggressiveness above Average. I took Oranic and Advanced Storage.

Perplexing game, Cheese. I never saw an organic component from you. Also, I settled in a system that was the 8th jump from my home system at the same time as you settled in it and it was 3 jumps from your home system. And, in another system, I settled which was the 6th jump from my system and 2 jumps from your home system. I realize you had to explore and I knew where to go but I had to halt on the way, waiting for a refuling point to be built. I think you should have expanded better than you did.

Anyway, you played with a strong heart till the Last hope was gone.

I have to build resupply Posts too, only I don't know what's in the next systems. And there were enough empty and nebula systems to really hold my progress. But not an unbalanced map, as far as I could tell.
I didn't see any reason to research organic. When you demanded my surrender around turn 40 I figured I was done inside of a year. I searched out as quickly as I could, since I was feeling my way around the galaxy. If I had known it was going to take another 5 years, I'd have lost with more variety.

Koth page is updated.

Cheeze, I took you off the Hill. Welcome back when you've time again.

K.O.T.H. Parabolize vs Joachim
Turn number: 2407.3
I surrender!
He expanded East faster than I did and slowly outproduced me because of it.
Slynky list this as a rated game.

Thanks for the good game - and the turn rate! You really had me worried with the first rush of CVs. Had you been able to push just a little further...
Only four jumps bewteen home systems is Scary

Wow, I'm getting dizzy up here - what a view!

Asmala, would it be possible to have a restart for the Ragnarok/Alneyan KOTH game? The map was biased against him, as he is basically boxed into the North East corner, while I am a bit more to the South than him. So a restart does seem in order, and he agreed to it in-game. Thanks!

Re: Electrum v Primative

The Electrum surrenders.
Thanks for the exciting game. How did you feel about the balanced mod? I thought it worked well

Electrum · #**2568** March 28th, 2004, 10:35 PM

Asmala,

Please put me back at the bottom.

primitive · #**2569** March 29th, 2004, 12:11 AM

Thanks for a fun game Electrum.

Dunno if I like the balance mod though. It takes away a lot of the excitement of the exploring part, but on the other hand it reduces micromangement a lot. Guess the mod is OK for a few games , but I would not like to play all my games with this mod

Asmala, Spoon: Is the King game still running ?
Don't dent that crown
