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

Four if you count the one I abandoned rather then let you destroy it. And now a ship. Your missle frigates will have a limited usefullness of course, but they are proving to be an annoying distraction at the moment. Well played.

Yes, the inevitable march of technology will soon diminish their utility. BTW, Why did you abandon that planet?

I expected you to attack it and knew if you did it would be glassed. Abandoning it preserves the resource value of the planet and doesn't affect my empire happiness. And for once I wanted to be the one giving you a suprise, no matter how lame.

glassing a planet affects the resource value? I never noticed that. How much does it hurt it? Is it across all resource values or just a random one (or minerals)?

All of them lose like 10% of their value.
If the same planet gets glassed a couple times it starts to be significant.

Good play then on your part - very subtle. I could not figure out why I could not "see" your colony - until I read your post. So, yes, you definitely surprised me, and, no, it was actually not lame at all but very cool.

Hmm, sounds like something I pulled on Geo in one of my other games.

Except most of my empire disappeared on him, heh.

So... Any updates to games that are going on around the Hill? I won't have any new updates for awhile. Rambie is on a trip until the 27th and he said he may not be able to download the turns with his laptop; so I'll just have to wait until he returns. He said it might help him too, it'll give him time to think up a stratagy to fight against me with. He said he's been playing the B5 Mod too much lately and forgot most of the Stock tech tree so he is a bit behind. We'll see if his week long of thinking time will enable him to come back in this game.

Slynky, you never said if you liked the format I changed to. You did get on me afterall.

Sparhawk empire is no more.
Congratulation gandalph, that Last battle did it..nothing left besides some planets. I was planning to go a destroy some planets with that fleet, but you destroyed it in time.
I think this was my best game..well for the learning then.

Thanks

asmala, can you give me a new opponent and put gandalph one up.

There's an opponent to neither of you at the moment so you'll have to wait until the next game finishes.
