Galactic Overlord 7- Enhanced Graphics Edition

[Atragon]

How dare you name yourself pact brother!

Yes, it looks like it's the end of Kassiopeia, who also made the bad move of sitting around while building a base. Lord Nuclear's fleet, three times the size, dropped in and promptly began to zap Kass's few survivors of the last two turns.

Score one for Nuclear!

Bracing for a second laser barrage, Kassiopeia returned fire with lasers, but the results were the same- another 20 hits.

Kass went on to fire lasers against Lord Nuclear's torpedoes in a futile third round, where the Kass fleet took another 24 hits before capitulation by ritual self-destruction.

Lord Nuclear occupied the four bases in this round's final action.

YEEHAW!

And here is the state of the galaxy at the end of Galactic Year 3.

Military experts have noticed that the total tonnage of warships in the galaxy has actually decreased from the situation last year, while total industrial production was stagnant.

Doc, I used one BP to repair your battleship, leaving you at 15. You may however deficit-spend if you want to build a base. Such a situation is only allowed when you have 15 BPs as a result of ship repair, and no bases.

Atragon, Herc, and joncha are the only ones with any fleet strength left...

Sent.

What bloodshed. What has the galaxy come to?

Edit: Must study now... orders tomorrow.

Nice Murray.

Well, one major strategy shift from the early GO games to the present one is that it's more important that your fleet wins battles than your bases get defended. This leads to lots of attacking, base swapping, attackers being attacked by latecomers, and risky OoBs and tactics.

Interestingly, in the first game where one can build up to 5 bases on turn #1, no one's done it yet except Jamski, who had his bases captured.

If someone gets too big of a lead with regards to ship strength, it'll be hard to stop them, unless everyone allies against them.

Built bases require 3 turns before they make a return on their investment. Holding onto bases for 3 turns in this game... not likely.

For next game I suggest that we reinstate the first turn no attack rule to allow people to build up somewhat before the violence begins. That way people will also have a shield or spy when the fighting starts.

Orders in.

I agree.
