Chronon's Veruran Cooperative Vs Grazic's EEEvil EEEmpire - Ratings 3 Game - 2404.7

Things are starting to hot up. After the EEEvil EEEmpire cornered the Veruran early with mines, we were unable to take out the 2 Veruran planets behind the lines because of strong Organic Weapon Platforms already built.
We have populated 2/3rds of the Galaxy and have just recently come into contact with Organic Fighters.
So far no major battles, but the Veruran Cooperative can see our 20 ship strong fleet in Lapzooli to the south.

When will the EEEvil Lapzooli Fleet attack the lone colony of Lapzooli IV is the big question, and when will the Veruran attempt to clear the mine fields...
Only Time will tell, and shortly at the rate we are flying thru the turns...

Parabolize vs. Deccan

Parabolize has me really confused. Obviously, he's building towards the talisman, but I keep entering systems expecting to find him there, but they're empty? Yet he's been leading for most of the game.

Hey, "dec", maybe he had a few of those systems where there are 40 planets in it and all of them are breathable...

Turn 60

Okay, Parabolize has the Talisman and is going on the offensive, and is still leading. I have no illusions about being able to win this game (*sigh*), but I'm not going to surrender just yet because I can see some cool battles looming ahead.

I do think I was screwed by the map though. Before I started moving into Parabolize's half of the map, I had found only 2 breathables.

From the planets of Parabolize that I've been able to see, he has far, far more than that. But again, it was gutsy to take Deeply Religious in a game like this, and I'm glad to see it paid off him at least this once.

The challenge match between Primitive and Slynky ended prematurely at turn 33.
Congrats to Slynky, the new no. 1 ranked player in the world

It wasn't my fault, it was the map. Yeah, thats my story and I'll stick with it.
The truth: I gambled and lost. I colonized, he built ships.

Beeing a slow learner, I'll try another challenge:

Anyone up for: Primitives Challenge 2 to be played on this map:


With these settings:
- 5 planet start
- Full tech
- No intel
- No Stellar Manipulation
- No Talisman
- 3,000 racial points

The map should be balanced (computer generated, only editet a few spacelanes). A quick count of planets says there are a little less Hydrogen planets, and of course there are no None Gasplanets so the None planets will be smaller on average. I have not checked how the planets are distributed but it looks to be plenty of everything everywhere. BTW, I will play Oxygen and take Ancient to offset that I have seen the map. My opponent (if I can get any ), can also get a peak of the map before the start if he takes Ancient. Top or bottom start position will be random.

Any takers ?

BTW:
If anyone else want to try this setup or or something else on this map, I'll be happy to run the game

If it hasn't been accepted by next Friday, I'll take it, Primitive.
