Is it so, that those map are random, but starting systems are not close each other, right? Is there something else in those maps?

Cheers

They were created randomly using the settings that are used for KOTH style games. But then Tesco took a bunch of them (20?) and manually added starting positions to them so you don't start too close to each other.

OK, thx!
Let's go then!

Well, Master B, Gecko, and Alneyan...has this game been bloody enough? How many systems you think we have fought in so far? 15?

Why, we did not resort to such violent means for obvious reasons Slynky. Do not forget we were the ones being attacked, and we responsed to their offensive actions with proper use of diplomacy and limited tactical engagements without any involvement of civilian personnel. We were merely attempting to promote our ways in order to insure mutual prosperity with these two other Empires when our ships were shot down with no explanation. For the very survival of our societies was at stake, we had to take a few measures without jeopardizing our integrity and our honourable cultures.

Should I translate the above? It would be something along these lines: "Our hegemony being challenged by arrivists, we went on a full-scale war against them, sparing no effort to drive them back to the black hole they emerged from. To keep them at bay, deadly force was initialized against every and all enemy forces, ranging from lonely scouts to military battleGroups and encompassing threats such as asteroids and dust if their allegiance was questionable." I guess this is a bit closer to the reality than the above League propaganda.

Overall, a very enjoyable game and a most weird one. I admit I am quite surprised by how it plays out, as we have discussed a few times. We shall see what lies in store for our alliance Slynky.

WELL!

I'm convinced your verbose explanation of the space-strewn debris is most accurate, your Highness!

You know sounds like it was a very fun game to be had.

Yea, a violent and funny game!

Finally Simplify and I agreed our game settings:

KOTH standard
+ intelligence
+ no none population
+ Random map with a manual placement.

Please, could someone moderate this?

Thanks in advance!
