I'm happy to give up at this point. I had been playing for third for a while, and had been confident of fending off BB, but the invasion of my second island put paid to that. I had thought I was doing well to finally take my first island back, but then I spotted those fleets off my coast.....

I'd be happy to start a new game and hope not to make so many mistakes this time around. Might do some work on custom maps in the next couple of days.

To be fair Blitz, you were not exactly blessed with your start!

I favour random maps tbh, it takes something away when everybody knows the layout before hand, even as it adds balance. Randomness is part of the spice!

I'm happy to keep playing, wouldn't mind another similar game either.

Hard luck there Blitz, 1 step forward, 3 steps back.

im conceeding,

i've sent Tash my password.

i am curious to see how far behind i was in the space race, tash reckons its two turns till he launches. it would be more like ten turns for me.

damn i thought i had this game, so i definately tip my hat to him cause he pulled it out of the bag as far as i am concerned. i'd put that down to better stratic planning and use of corporations.
plus i'll give nog a nod and say he made it hard for me at a critical time in the game.

overall though, an enjoyable game.

:(

I can't even look. I'll send my password on....

I like the idea of randomness in a new game, but it can end up giving some players a big advantage. It does appeal to my laziness though....

last turn?

I've retired Blitz, I'll do the same for Justice after BB plays.

My two fusion engines completed this turn, I'll flick the ignition switch next turn.

I've retired Justice and flicked the switch. AI Justice instantly canceled all deals with AI Blitzkrieger, "Benevolent Benefactor" is not coded into the AI apparently.

Next Stop: Alpha Centauri!

The journey will take 6 turns, please keep your hands inside the space vehicle at all times.

Well well BB, I guess now is the time for nuclear weapons.
