[cerveza_fiesta]

Id like to see a final score...you need influence and upkeep from us gnaw?

I bought the Eclipse app for my IPad this weekend, and I played the crap out of it! I now understand how all the battle stuff works (or most of it anyway) and I am now super excited to play a big game with you all on here!

Bring on Eclipse VI!

POST COMBAT orders

influence

• pollux, d'rek's homeworld, d'rek's far southern hex with the monolith in it.

Colonize

• 3x money planets wherever they are available.

Upkeep

cost = -30 + 24 income + 1 bank + 3 converted from materials = -2 ----> BANKRUPT!

deinfluence


the hex due south of my homeworld - orbital cube on sciencetrack, material cube on materal track

new upkeep


cost = -25 + 24 income + 1 bank = 0 ---->books balanced
science = 0 + 2 = 2
materials = 6 + 8 = 14

my final VP tally unless I missed something


4 for discovery tiles
19 for hexes
13 for research
7 for combat
-2 for being a traitorous swine

41 FINAL

EDIT

Realize now there were some serious flaws with that plan. First Should have spread those interceptors out to at least one more battle to fill the extra VP slot. Second, should have done all that in 1 less move (maybe not upgraded) so that I could influence Tatts' homeworld in the end. Together that would have netted me +3 vp at a minimum (maybe more if I drew that last 3vp combat tile). Not a huge amout but enough to make the difference between 1st and 2nd in a close game.

I'm still not convinced I could have done better by going all-out in the GC. Would have had to show that as my strategy too early on and Twelve would not have moved away as many ships for sure.

I can guess at white, blue, and green.

But yellow and black have options.

Can I see an updated player board so I can see if we need to bankrupt/deinfluence anything?

I think my upkeep post above shows my only available option for maximizing points. Should have done a few things differently.

I'd influence the 2 pt ancient hex where my interceptor is to replace the hex that MorGnaw took off of me. Colonize the grey with money. I only had that one influence disk available to me right?I think that would put me at a negative 2 money between income and expenses but have 3 $ in the bank so end up not having to convert materials for the extra cash.

I think you only lost the one battle, so yes, one disc available.

CF took care of your bankruptcy potential by relieving you of your homeworld.

Final score posted on page 1

[Khellendros]

Not that far behind Tatterblend in the end


If I could play this game over...I would probably do everything exactly the same.


Well played everyone, great game twelve, so close MorGnaw!

[D'rek]

Good game everyone! Congrats to Twelve, held on to the lead all throughout like a champ! And thanks to MorGnaw for modding!!!

[Imperial Historian]

I'm curious as to how the battle of cfs 4 cruisers vs twelves ships would have gone,it would have certainly been exciting!

[Tattersail_]

Well done Twelve. That was a long game. Thanks Gnaw for taking over the job of modding

[twelve]

Thanks everyone. And to IH's Curiosity about an epic battle in the GC there wouldn't have been one. I was going to concede the GC to CF if he attacked and then would have used my excess ships to gobble up high point value hexes to replace the losses of the GC. I knew that 40 points would likely win the game so as long as I could replace the points I lost in any battle I felt comfortable with losing it even to my biggest competitor.

And Blatts you put a scare in me with that battle. I couldn't believe out of 10 missile shots not a single one hit. After that I got lucky with the starbases and ancient doing enough damage that you didn't take that hex. Otherwise it would have come down to a resource tiebreaker between me and CF I believe. Glad it didn't come to that.

We were just going to whole up and build a couple of monoliths but thought we'd make it a little more interesting.

missiles are ridiculous though in a standard game. They trump most ship builds.
