I played an amazing MOO2 game a few weeks ago. Huge galaxy, 8 races, starting at average tech level. I was playing as Sakkra. The first part of the game did not go very well. I expanded to about 6-7 star systems ok but then I get invaded by a space eel. Unfortunately, my fleet was not quite strong enough and the space eel spaws another then another. I got 3 space eels blockading systems while I build a better fleet to beat them. Then, to make matters worse, the Mrshans declare war and conquer a star system. A few turns later, they move on to a second system. At this point, I am feeling pretty bad. My fleet is small. I got space eels bothering me and the Mrshans are poised to roll right over me.
Then, a miracle happens. The Mrshans offer peace and are willing to give me a star system. Naturally, I accept.
At this point in the game, everything turned around for me. I sucessfully get rid of the first space eel, then the second one. I declare war on the nearby Silicoids and take one, then 2 systems from them. I make peace. I turn around and eliminate the last space eel that had moved on to an uninhabited system. I declare war again on the silicoids and conquer all their systems. Soon, I also conquer the Elerians and another race ( I forget which) and take Orion too.
To make a long story short. The game ended with me sending a fleet of about 30 titans to the Antarans and defeating them easily. At that point, it was just me and the Psilons in the galaxy with me owning about 60% and the Psilons owning the rest.
Anyone else have a game like that, where you thought everything was hopeless and then something happens, and things turn around and you win?
