Meta game I'm playing...

Ok so I started a metaverse game as the thalans and its getting a bit interesting.

large galaxy... challenging difficulty.

 

So at the begining I went on the colony rush bandwagon... only to find that all 5 star systems in my area had no habitable planets except for one thats owned by a minor race. #4%&*(#^&*@!!!!! But I did get on my homeword a bonus thing that gives... 300% I think bonus to manufacturing and placed my hyperion matrix on it... \o/ Then I colonized a class 4 world... mostly just to help stabalize my economy... and another world out in torian space... it had two 300% research tiles on it... bingo, research capital. and then another planet sucluded from the rest of mine, its kind of at a junction around arcean,iconian, and korath space. But other then a couple extreme planets there was nothing else to colonize... so I just worked on improving my economy, research, manufacturing etc.

I was however begining to notice my neighbors racking up military ships... I ignored it and decided to keep on improving my worlds since their the only thing I got. Then some invisible powder keg went off somewhere and everyone is suddenly declaring war on each other... the torians were the first, declaring war on several people and then signing peace treaties and going to war with someone else. Then the Iconians declared war on me... I finally started building ships... I checked the timeline and my military buildup is the fastest on the board only rivaled by the biggest civ the iconians. But I haven't seen one iconian warship enter my space since it started. Next the Drengin declared war on me... and the torians declared war on them. then the drath gave me some warships... and I convinced the arceans to go to war with their neighbors, the drengin and iconians... that would tie those guys up giving me room to fight the korath clan which by the way... also declared war on me.

I checked the reports a few game months before the attacks... yeah most the reason was because I didn't have any warships... free planets to them right? WRONG!

So here is the current areas controlled by all the players in this game. I have 4 planets...

And this is the current sitrep with all the civs...

Anyway since the Drengin don't seem to be pushing to hard only sending one fleet my way so far... and the Iconians haven't sent any... my main problem is the Korath turds...

A large force approaches me... a little more then 5 fleets of the buggers.

I'm still busy clearing the guys out... wait a minute... where the heck are the spore ships? I hate their super ability.

Anyway here are the ships of the people I'm dealing with.

Apparently all their doing is slapping guns on the guys except the korath who seem to have some ships with shields... too bad I'm using missiles. :|  

Although it still seems that my ships and the korath ships are evenly matched... I have speed on my side... but he has almost 50% more hitpoints then me. But now with harpoon II tech I've been able to put 2 on my small ships, although I haven't built an upgraded small ship yet... why? because I have a destroyer class ship (medium hull) that I'm busy building to put those korath back in their place... 5 speed, 12 missile attack. Appropriatly (sp?) named the Death Howler.

But until the Death Howlers start coming off the production lines... the war rages on...

So... the death Howlers were a big success... the Korath were crushed under my awesome power... I love when other people attack me... I don't have to go through the bull of losing diplomacy with other people because I can claim its self defense. *_* Although the Thalan invasion techs aren't exactly really good so I had some difficulty invading their planets without the meteor tactic.

THERES THE SPORE SHIPS!!! too bad you never got to use em bud.

heh... oh wait... crud... forgot to screenie the death howler... I just love the animated spiky things with weapons on em...

LOL I love how the Korath begged for peace right when I have 3 troop transports right beside their last planet (thats undefended). I would have accepted peace but their transmission was a bit garbled with static... :| oh yeah now I remember... I was jamming their signals...  ^_^' oooooooops....

So now... the Iconians are acting like their the big bad boys in the neighborhood... and its become obvious to me that the Drath are sitting in their little corner putting people at war with each other, the torians are trying to ascend and the Drengin are at constant war with their neighbors (arceans, torians). I think my next move in this game is to take out the torians' ascencion (sp?) crystals, make peace, then gang up against the Drengin turds... The Drath are probably coming after that. I would Ally with the arceans but my alliance treaty button isn't working for some reason... #:(

Ok heres a picture of a couple Death Howlers I let the arceans borrow.

Those spikes at the end of their arms spin just so you know... its very neat.

Great AAR!  I have to get around to doing one of these as soon as I finish my Sins AAR.  ^_^

Wow that sins looks like a good game! I would probably enjoy that. ^_^ nice AAR you have as well.

Thanks!  Any GalCiv player will enjoy Sins.  They are birds of a feather with the only real distinction being that GalCiv is turn-based while Sins is RTS.

hey crusaderscott. I just finished reading through your sins aar. Is Sins played entirely in sandbox mode? whether it is or not doesnt take away from the fact that it looks like a sick game. im going to do some more reading up on it.
