[GeoModder]

Aw, Chaunk.

I'll sent orders in a few hours.

[GeoModder]

Here goes nothing... sent!

Fortunately our alliance is based on trust, not backstabbing at the first opportunity.

[Skanky Burns]

You can't transfer bases at will. You can only capture them on behalf of allies, and only then if the allies were planning to attack that turn but were somehow prevented.

Round 19

GeoModder ordered an attack, but was prevented by a spy. It seems we are very near to end-game now.

[:) Smiley]

That's what I thought several turns ago. However, a three-way balance discourages attacking, as the winner of any battle would be the one who doesn't fight.

Tonnage is getting close to the 4-digit range for all players. Sure, a victory could double one's bases, but it'd take a few turns at least to rebuild the fleet. Then again, everyone seems to have plenty of shielding.

[Kuciwalker]

I think the shield should automatically destroy some % of the fleet (by doing that % of the fleet's armor in damage), like 25% or even 50%. That would make the late game like this very interesting...

[Skanky Burns]

Two players have been allied for quite some time, so it is really a 2-player game at this stage unless some betrayal creeps in. Two players have roughly twice the production of Geo, so IMO he can only delay the inevitable unless the alliance does something really stupid. Or one of the partners sneaks.

Making shields that powerful would only encourage more turtling. There is already too much of that currently.

[Kassiopeia]

to GeoModder for taking the initiative. Taking the fight to a single alliance member is, well, was your best shot.

[GeneralTacticus]

Orders sent.

[DrSpike]

But we had it covered.

[DrSpike]

Sent.

Mere tactics in a strategic setup, my dear Watson...

Orders will come after I took care of my ACDG responsabilities.

[Skanky Burns]

Take your time, I'm heading to sleep now.

[GeoModder]

Overlord Geo sealed the latest orders and issued them to the appropriate fleet commanders. A sudden activity surged in certain parts of his bloated empire.
