We really should try to get a group game going on the iOS version - it'd be interesting to play Eclipse online in a different setting than this, and I think there's at least 4 of us with the game (Gnaw, myself, Twelve and Khell if I'm not mistaken)...

Never tried to get an online game through the Ipad before. I'm sure it would suffer the same problems this forum game has as well.

Thought for sure you would do a reaction of another starbase.

Just finished a game on the iPad as the planta. 6 handed on hardcore against, a Terran, hydra, Draco, Mechanema, and Orion. Got a great start. Walled the Orion off and they never were able to connect to anyone else all game and was able to get neutron bombs and plasma missiles in round two. The machines first three explores went against double ancients so even with a dread to start wasn't able to do much. The terrains and Draco started fighting each other and the hydras never was able to get any materials to build ships to fight. At games end I had removed all hexes owned by the terrains, dracos and hydrans and was two moves short of doing the same to the machines. They ended the game with 1 hex. the Orion had four but we're never able to get advanced economy so never had any money to do anything with those hexes. I only ended up with 31 points but it felt sooo satisfying to destroy all those players even if it was just against the computer.

How's the AI on this game? I'd love if they had it for android. Would buy it in a second.

Where is that on the map? The resolution of the maps is pretty crap, so I can't read any of the tile names.

I'm pretty sure this won't affect me, but I'd still like to know!

I'm taking a chance that the Granite one sees the long term potential of being friends with me.

Taking a chance on Khell. wtf am I thinking.

Blend what do you mean your move is dependent on what IH does? Both you and Tatts should both just pass and get it over with.

[Gnaw]

The only thing I can see is that Blend is thinking of sending his interceptors through the warp portal to attack IH's homeworld. Which would be foolish as one would get destroyed by Khell and the other would have no chance against IH's guaranteed reaction build of a dread.

If he reaction moves into one of our hexes, then we'll have to do something about it. If he doesn't, then we don't.

If IH passes, then I, too, pass. However, if he reaction moves anything into our hexes, then I don't.
