So Tatts are you going to do an action sometime today or what?

[Imperial Historian]

Since I'm here, react and move dread through warp portal to bail tatts out.

@tatts Personally I'd be building a cruiser to kill the interceptor attacking gnaws homeworld (but depends what gnaw wants you to do)

@twelve you are right, it might take 2 reactions to deal with you... might just let it go though... it's only 10 materials

You think you know what I'm going to do now? Now do I try and go for the homeworld now or not?

Lol khell. Scared much?

Not in the least. I was expecting that dread to move and I would have been surprised if IH hadn't done it.

Well most of the pussyfooting around I was doing earlier in the round was in the hopes that you would screw something up so I could take back my homeworld. But then I realized to actually make a play for it you would see it coming about 10 miles away and give you plenty of time to do reactions that would totally kill me. Hence my rant earlier when I realized I was screwed no matter where I go because of the inititive issues. Then you had to go add salt into the wound when you told me you could have added a second starbase to crush any last little bit of hope I was still harboring. Those missiles you scored from the discovery tiles was the absolute worse tile for me to have to deal with.

Build cruiser in iota bootus

[Khellendros]

D'rek (and for that matter, Tapper), what think ye?


With IH's dread in there, the chances fall to about 45-55 in their favour if I get my ships into the best configuration (this is a rough estimation as it's more difficult to calculate odds with more than two races' ships in there). That's without Gnaw or Tatts putting another ship in there too.


I can upgrade the 3 starbases which are in there already, which will, with crossed fingers, destroy either Gnaw's interceptor or Tatts' cruiser before they themselves are blown to smithereens.

Or I could build and upgrade and D'rek could throw something else in there, we shrug our shoulders, and we just go for it.

Their upkeep sucks. We try to destroy as much of their stuff as we can, but I'm really not too worried if we don't win all our battles.

Very well. I hope that your incoming stockpile of materials ends up lasting longer than mine will

Ours is better than all of them except Dr. Grievance, that is. But he might be otherwise engaged.

What're we doing here Morgoth. Plans?

If we're hitting Tapper's homeworld it's going to take a lot of reactions on my part to build and upgrade and move a cruiser. I'd be concerned that the round will end before we can squeeze in enough actions.


If you just need me to run interference with that interceptor for some more devious plan, I'll do that instead.


Or if your plan is just to reposition and get ready for next round, I'll stay where I am now, conserve resources and do something with efficient real actions next game round. Your devious plan needs outweigh the need for conservativeness though so just say the word.

[Morgoth]

If we are to attack Tapper's homeworld I'll be doing the Heavy lifting with my cruiser. You just need to be present.

[cerveza_fiesta]

Ok. Let's go.

Move interceptor to Formahaut.

[Khellendros]

Sigh, have you guys learned nothing? If IH is not on your team, never do the thing he wants you to do!


Tapper can retaliate from several fronts next turn. Whereas if you had chosen the warp portal and IH's former homeworld, exactly what would have come up against you??

[cerveza_fiesta]

Who says we aim to keep it? It's a pretty good production bonus for now - and it simply advances us to a new chokepoint!

EDIT

Plus I don't really have a means of supporting Morgoth in IH's territory. Plus their alliance is weaker than yours, so no sense hitting the main thing keeping you off our backs right now.

Isn't it technically still Morgoth's turn before CFs?
Because if it isn't, I could pin his cruiser by attacking 104, right?

Well, unless something changes i'll react

build - starbase in 104 and 105

Morgoth's turn 6

[Tapper]

Ah, so the map is nearly 2 rounds old.
Urgh. I think I'd really, really like a map-update - not just to see who is where, but also to see the economic situation. The amount of upkeep everyone has/ can extend to, will be very important.
I'd prefer to wait for that.

But which one did he build it in again, as he could only build one?
