KOTH has been updated.

Alneyan · #**3162** January 3rd, 2005, 02:16 PM

KOTH will be updated momentarily.

Renegade, I didn't hear from Warlord Ragnarok; did you? If not, I think you will play with Alex, and I will keep Ragnarok out of new games. (He hasn't posted on the Boards since Dec 20 or so) If you want to wait for him, please tell me so as well.

I will be sending you game settings shortly.

I don't post much here anymore due to work and RL responsibilities but I still play my games every day. I have been uber busy the past couple weeks with out of town trips the past two weekends. My apologies.

No worries, I was just checking if you were still here.

I will be creating the game.

KOTH has been updated.

Gandalph surrenders to Joachim at 2409.3. Him opening warp points throughout my side of the galaxy and obliterating my well trained fleet on his side of the galaxy was really the Last straw. Could have drawn it out another 20 turns or so but saw no reason to. Thanks for yet another lesson Joachim.

Please take me off the hill for awhile. I can never seem to get more than 2 wins in a row and think I am going to take some time off to reflect.

THanks for the good game Gandalph, I though I had no chance for the first 30 turns, and it was only in the Last 10 that I started to think I had it.

I had an horrendous map start, my home system had two exits, to the south there was then five out of six wasted systems! To the North I ran into you after four warps - so I basically thought I was trapped and stuffed early on. I think that stealing your breathers and madly researching the other colony types was the only thing that kept me in the game during the middle phase.

I was surprised that you had not colonised every planet in your space? You also had me very worried when your first PPB ships hit my normal shield ships - if you had pushed really hard at that point I may have been in serious trouble.
Thanks again for the game!

You will be delighted to know KOTH has been updated. Well, perhaps it won't matter a lot for you, but I have to bypass that "post already exists" thing.

Alneyan, dude, could you please give us a restart? Seems our request for the Balance Mod and manual placement didn't work out too well.

(1) There are only 2 systems between our homeworlds and
(2) For some strange reason, the Balance Mod didn't give me a breathable in my home system (but it DID give Joachim one).

Alneyan · #**3169** January 8th, 2005, 08:45 PM

There were at least five/six systems in the map I made, and both starting points were not set on any planet, so you should have had both a breathable planets in your systems.

I have nothing against restarting the game of course, but I would rather wait for someone to explain what went wrong. Either I made the mistake of not actually loading the map when I created the game (apologises in this case), or there was another glitch somewhere.

The former seems the more likely of course. I could give it another try (taking extra care with that kind of matter), or you could ask someone else to make the map; either way is fine with me.

Alneyan · #**3170** January 8th, 2005, 08:51 PM

*Slaps self repeatedly* The mistake was fully mine. Instead of setting one starting point for player 1, and another for player 2, I made two starting points for one of you (Joachim), and none for you Slynky. The correct map was used, but the problem was in the map itself.

Full apologises are in order then. Feel free to let me know if you want a restart with myself as host, and I will set it up as soon as I get your word. Otherwise, please let me known once the new game has started so that I can update KOTH.
