I've gotten peace with the empire to my east, so now I can focus my juggernaut of a war machine on baz's enemies.
Last I heard it was still only two players. Looks like a even match from what I can see, Baz has captured a few minor outlying planets. They are trying to hit his home planets but his defense is holding so far. I've no idea why they sent their fleets at his core planets through masses of PD, maybe they thought they could get a fast result if they could harm his central planets. The do have some much larger fleets moving in though, if Baz doesn't destroy the current wave soon the next wave will cause him problems.
He is on the offensive as well, time will tell if they can defend the planets he is targeting. I have noticed that both players do not make use of mind control, and their planets have very high society levels. This might help Baz long term, though so far the PD doesn't seem to be deactivating due to funding, well no that isn't true Icehouse lost all his PD, so his fleets are his only defense right now.
