Re: need input about SE game :)
War started in honest. Xi'Chung apparently secured the system next to Cenurian I and declared the war.
Two fleets, one with 25 ships another with 11 attacks Centurian I. The planet is protected by 7 destroyers, 60 fighters
and 4 medium weapon platforms. Here is the charge of the first, larger Xi'Chung fleet.

Very soon they all be dead. Here is why

We lost all our ships and half of the fighters but killed all invaders. That should teach them a lesson !
Hmm. not really. two months later another fleet arrives. Thet just keep coming and coming !

Re: need input about SE game :)
Oleg,
This is fascinating. I would much rather watch your game.
Watch out for the XiChung, they are dreadful and the meanest race in AIC.
If they ever start next to me, I always start a new game. You are playing this game with a AI low bonus, do not know about you, but I have a hard time with the AI in that setting.
How do you save the jpg pictures and have them available for us to see?
Neat game, and you are telling a great story |

Wow!
It's lots of hard (well, not hard, but tedious) work to keep us filled in.

Although, tough still with Low Bonus;~ QB
The AI has been tamed a little with [none] Bonus games, when starting a game in AIC v3.00 or better.
If you have not upgraded yet, you may want to retry Bonus (none) the AI is less over bearing with most game starts with the default settings.
As I recall, you like the No Warp start games. All but a few of the AI might get boring in the none bonus. If this is the case, try a low bonus with that start.
If starting a game with the Centurion Ruins Map, please keep in mind the AI also will prosper from the Artifact finds, just as much as the Human Player. ~(AI-Hive with Light Cruisers, or AI-Terrans with Ice, etc. )~ Earlier then the designed plan.
It is strongly recommended that you start with a lower then usual Number of Computer Players, when starting a new game with the AIC Centurion Ruins map.

Re: need input about SE game :)
I am still #13 out of 13 players. Hard to beat AIC with bonuses ! Poor Praetorians are #12 - Xi'Chung pounded them really hard. But the bloodshed inflicted by my weapon platformes should give Praetorians some breathing time.
I indeed do rather well in Science department:
My Pandorians have 120% intelligence, scientists culture and Temporal College on Homeworld (another 5% bonus ) Also, I shiped ~150M people to my first colony (the one which rebelled) and build 10 research expeditions. All things together, I feel pretty good abour my tech. levels. Oh, and remember Centaran I ruins !
It is minerals shortage that worries me. Dozen of starliners cost almost all my homeworld income in maintanence ! I must trade radio to minerals in 2:1 ratio with AI just to stay alive (they drive hard bargins  ). But now, when my mighty fleet (all seven shiny destroeyers  ) are dead, I can afford new construction.
Jraenars keep quite, thankfully. I have no real chance to defend Centarian II now
