Re: Sd Ss!!!

Both ways have pros and cons. Your success will depend on your activity. I went with the 2 ship start myself. Pop isnt that much income early on cuz those planets take a long time for the pop to max out. Early on infra is better than a bit of pop income. Should point out that some of us 3 planet guys have 5k nw or more with less than half the planets.

Gotta see how it plays out. I dont recall having a galaxy like this ever so its an experiment for all of us.

one more thing...can we play with some honor in here and NOT DELETE when you start to lose just to deprive the guy who was killing you of planets. Thats a total cheese manuever and its poor sportsmanship. Id rather see people go down fighting. Its hardcore rules. If you can get the upper hand with agents and wizards you can inflict alot of damage on someone.

The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he, who in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee!!

Re: Sd Ss!!!

[22:11]    <Primo>    WHO SAID I AM ACTIVE? X( X(

Is that a NAP I saw you make? Time to break it!

Re: Sd Ss!!!

Last  SD SS, I did screw up and yet i'm still in top 10. Yeah, WTF PEOPLE?!?!

Proverbs 11:14 "Where there is no guidance the people fall,
But in abundance of counselors there is a victory."

Re: Sd Ss!!!

well like I said AA I also started out with just 2 explored and now have increased a bit as needed and my NW would put me to number 3 simply by exploring and having 7 planets and I still have stuff coming in over the next few ticks that I would be number 1 in NW simply by having more planets but then I would not have all the infra I have either thus I stick to my point those that started out with 2 or 3 explored p's and stay a bit active will over take the early explored guys soon enough smile

I am the flail of God. Had you not created great sins, God would not have sent a punishment like me upon you.

Re: Sd Ss!!!

It really doesn't matter yet anyways, its just who took the highest income bonus atm but when attacking begins things will get interesting.

Re: Sd Ss!!!

yes especially for those with no attack bonus that imo was bad mistake

Re: Sd Ss!!!

Science can compensate attack bonus with cons% and military%
Ppl with no attack bonus and no science may be in serious trouble.
Wardancers have both but less income so they'll have less saves.

if I knew SA couldnt be cast first 7 days I wouldnt have taken it sad

I like this SD, something really new for strats where u cant be sure of anything. First tick of attack should be epic smile

Re: Sd Ss!!!

Less income can easily be replaced with economy and construction research.  You already have 70% attack, more military isn't necessary. 

I dominated last round in SD as a Wardancer and even construction % and military % does not save you without attack bonus.  There were a number of quantums that couldn't take out my stationed wink  Ask Easy way.

Re: Sd Ss!!!

partax' magic should be able to compensate for the lack of attack bonus + u got a shitload of ops smile

Re: Sd Ss!!!

i just build wizzies to cast sa only to notice that i wasted my money.
there should have been other ways to prevent OFFENSIVE actions other than disabling all ops.
now im not gonna become #1 today..

Re: Sd Ss!!!

That isn't a new thing, Bloodbath so its your fault.

And tryme, it doesn't.   How is a partax op going to help you take a planet off of me if I station a large fleet on it?  And it is very easy to build enough agents to defense against DU since agent ops successrate is buggy on offensive ops

Re: Sd Ss!!!

gl attacking with ur soldiers tryme.

<parrot> there is also the odd  possibility that tryme is an idiot
<KT> possibility?
<genesis> tryme is a bit of an idiot

Re: Sd Ss!!!

hmm the eco advantage i'll have will allow me to outjump your agents at any time wink not to mention you'll have to work without portals near me wink

Re: Sd Ss!!!

implying partax will have an eco advantage

Re: Sd Ss!!!

Don't forget there are 3 allied players, he can be protected by a Wardander in his core and op the shittout of enemies with his super pax powers.

Tryme u proposed me, i just asked my new ally what he thinks about allying u, if u are still available?

Re: Sd Ss!!!

@WhiteShadow: Post your AoS so the 7 planet players could compare. It's easy to say you have better infra without backing it up any

Re: Sd Ss!!!

well Gondor I dont lie and you know this but I was just talking with HydroP and in 7 ticks I will have 10,150 K NW with 7 planets since by then I will have explored the other 2 planets since I only have 62 spaces left on the 5 p's, which will put me in the top 4 to 6 by that time.

and of course while the last 2 planets are being explored (longer distance) I will have saved enuf to get close to FB 1 planet with cf's which means 5 ticks later I will be close to 11k NW

by then we will see what the early 7 planet guys have done.

Hydrop is already well past our other allie that explored all 7 right off the bat and if I simply had the nw from 2 more planets I would already be ahead of my allie at about 12th place and even more with the infra coming in in 1 to 7 ticks smile

but if I am wrong about this start being not the best then so be it, it's one thing for sure it will at least be equal smile

I am the flail of God. Had you not created great sins, God would not have sent a punishment like me upon you.

Re: Sd Ss!!!

well we will compare the guys who expo 6 whit the others who expo later and see wink
