Dave's Galaxy

[Adriddae]

Uh oh, it looks like drugsmrgarrison above me is conquering lots of planets next to him.

[Daycryn]

Agreed, get rid of him, those are our planets!

Oooo, just noticed that a "location" has been added to planets. I'm at (1664.2,1677.4). Maybe we could add locations to the list of players so we can quickly find each other? (0.0, 0.0) is top left of the universe.

Ooh, good idea!

Mine (Kazhaan) is at (1724.1,1870.0).

I wonder how large the galaxy is, i.e. the coordinates at the bottom right.

I wonder how large the galaxy is, i.e. the coordinates at the bottom right.

(3000.00, 3000.00). The middle is (1500.00, 1500.00), so reasonable guess to make

[egamma]

1661.9,1768.6 is me.

[lorduck]

I'm at 1693.3,1798.8.

Also snagged my first colony this turn, which is exciting even if it's not doing anything yet.  Anyone got a colony actually producing any materials yet?

egamma, my username is Lorduck, just like here.

[squishymaster]

This is me.

1912.4,1801.4

[Nathan]

Level 5 colony is my best. Only producing 66 Food and 9 Hydrocarbon though

So I discovered today that if you send a colony ship to colonize a colony that already exists, it "bolsters" the existing colony. I gained at least one society level by doing it, maybe 2.

That's how it works in Master of Orion. I figured it would be the same here, hard to imagine why it shouldn't.

There you go, finished everyone off

[Vellos]

Don't let him take kip/jaw's planets, its hard to get rid of if he gets one.

Any suggestion on how I'm supposed to stop him?

His fleets have been flying a long time, so have accelerated to an astonishing speed (he shot past my entire empire in one turn). I can't accelerate to catch him, and I have no fleets ahead of him.

On the plus side, I'll be allying with darklatiz shortly. Which will allow me to see all of his fleets. He's one of our larger neighbors, so that seems like useful intel.

Don't you think you have enough allies already with the entirety of battlemaster forums? Honestly if we go around capturing all the noobs and allying with all the big guys, there is nothing left to do.

What's more, allying with such a large neighbour is more like 'protectorate', or bitch-state.

Oh and here's an idea: his ships are destroyers, acc 0.32, cruisers have a chance to overtake or engage him.
