Okay recap for sb round 20

56, 53 & 50 quite the early lead.

50 fell off after being defaced over coming a disadvantage  (map position) but by successfully maintaining a secure core they survived. Until eor that is.... plenty of times dI'd I get attacked by 50 during three week war in between 56 & 49 during explo phase of round.

Round decider for first place. 49' just had way to many active players. Declared winners by sheer activity. 56 pays fifty something planets and sign early nap securing border peace between the two.

53' came of daunting. Ops and spells to anyone who wanted it. I think ricking was showing off... but do too the random system or just player preference of race/role they ended up w/out the attack force required. But there eco game was still strong and they came to prove it after trailing for half of entire round to make an amazing finish and out jump 56'.

About that time 56 loses two inactive and finally gains an advantage. A supremely active hc attacker who could show the glory of the golden days in attacking role/race of the ic community.

After this burden burden 49' con tines to infra whore while 53' astonishingly clears 56' from lower Southeastern quadrant of map. An impressive intercision allows 51' to remain seated rather then step to fall.

That leaves 54'.... Originally a nap agreement with nicedude was underway... but do too tragic turns of events all out war erupts from just a minor border skirmish. (34 planets and three systems along border shared with 49' & 56'). 49' doesn't bite and camaigns their own war in some part of the Galaxy nearer to the northeast quadrant.
As war continues a few miscalculations leads to 56' throwing it in my eyes. We still forced a nap payment. But in that time we failed too maximize profits invested into easy way (largest in size atm) as well as expose lohan to outside hostile forces. 50' continues to attack 56' key offensive players still too NO RESPONSE! So no backstabbing taking place just yet even though 56' is down 24+ plus planets at this point. Main focus is directed of jdc. A very small camaar looking to ma's explore holes in 56' core. New morale system allows for a player to have like one million nw but a half dozen planets and still cost like 67% an attack compared to someone with same nw and three times planets. Props to 54' for taking advantage of this new feature and using it as an actual tactical advantage. 54' pays nap too 56' and 49' breaks nap with 54'. Whilst 50' & 54' begin their war.

Prelude concluded!
