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

The war continues to go well; the Last known Sumiak Assault fleet just spent itself against a little Territorial Guards Fleet and some fast attack cruisers that had been shadowing the Sumiak fleet from my side of the frontier. Just some scattered colonies left to mop up now.

Sounds like Rags has you right where he wants you. He is obviously practicing the time tested strategy of "SEIV Judo", where you use your opponents strength and size agasint him.

If only that were the case. There was no chance of coming back in that war. I was heavily out numbered, out gunned, out teched, and out smarted. A very good game. I just surrendered my empire to the Thermolians as I lost my Last fleet of 20 ships and my Last change that lied within them. Kudos to you Thermodyne.

Geo, I am reporting the loss now. For the KOTH site, the information for the game is, it went 122 turns. Game end date is 12-13-02. Game start was, I do not remember and I don't have my first save game file.

[geoschmo]

Ah, well. Such is life. Do you want rematched right away Rags? I think I have someone waiting on an opponent, I will have to check my emails.

So Thermo. It's mano y mano. Do you recall the results the Last time you and I faced off? You might not, it ended so quickly . I sure do. Of course that was SE3...

This was a very good game, from about turn 50 on it was full of tension and activity. I must also say that Rags is a very reliable player. I tend to do a lot of turns in a short period of time and he stayed right with me. I would recommend him as an adversary or an ally any time. Thanks for the game Rag’s

Nope, can’t say that I do. Did I win? Sounds like it might have been one of those 12 turn SE3 games. I think I might be found lacking this time around. Unless you want to do SE3 again

Hah! 12 turns! You DO remember you sly dog.

No, ahem. I don't think we'll be playing Se3 this time.

If you have someone waiting for someone to play against sure I am willing to get going right away.

Thanks for the comments man. You were a great adversary as well. Look forward to meeting you again. And I was more then happy to keep the pace going for turns. It was nice to have a fast moving game for once. Usually I am waiting for turns all the time and I am bored. But with this I had something to do at all times.
Good luck to you and Geo both in the next round.

I love the KOTH! This is the most interesting game I've played before because you cannot rely on your allies (because there are none) and must play alone. With stock AI that was not a problem but with real profs... well... Stonemill is making me some troubles with a single ship!! That is what I call the beauty of SE4 Every time you play with a strong player - you learn _A LOT_ of useful and interesting things.
Geo thanx for the opportunity

[Baron Grazic]

I gotta disagree with Pablo, I'm not loving the KOTH game.

Round 7 came in a Yulroy attacked my home world with his missile frigate, took out my only defender and then my Space Yard, which was just about to roll out another ship.

I'm going for the quickest loss of all time.
