One my AAR's

A new beginning.

The Xen Alliance of the Humans, have drastically change the face of the galaxy. After the misguided actions of the Technologist party scientist of its introduction of hyper-drive to the civilisations of the galaxy, the federalist party took step into power and implemented a frantic expansionist policy. The Federalist administration with the support of the merchantile party has step up with its policy of heavy borrowing from the private sector to complete its ambitious plans to have a colonyship ready every month.

Peace and Prosperity.

After the bold gamble of the Federalist administration, the Humans are now in control of the galactic center-east, north. The Humans dominate the northwest with the puny Arceans occupying part of it.

The Main trade partners of Humans, Yor Collective and the Alexians coexist in the galactic northeast.

In the south the Strange Torians hold the southeast and the distant Altarian is rumored to have the southwest.

Ominously, the Drengin Empire holds the rich west and also maintains its borders with the humans at the galactic center.

War Clouds over the Horizon.

War seems to have taken root in th Galaxy. The Yor Collective and Alexians have declared war against the Torians while the Powerful Drengin Empire continues to massacre the distant Altarians.

Only the two remaining empires elected not to be involved in the galactic slugfest.

A Disaster.

Sadly that was not the case, with the election of G.W. BeersFeld. The war party plunges the Xen Alliance with the Arcaens. A senior War administration official remark -"it will be A short victorious war against terrorism". The Federalist party silents mutters it as -- bullying and shameful.
The holier-than-thou Torians seem to agree with the Federalist and decides to go War with the Xen Alliance. Meanwhile, our NorthWestern trading partners (Yor C and Alexians) is delighted with prospect of having the same enemy.
The War Administration quickly sent the fleet to secure the southern border with the Torians. The News Media quickly capitalizes the two simultaneous wars with their embedded reports from the front.
Two months after the Arcaen Republic is no more. Media quickly dubbed it as the liberation of the Arcaen people.
In a secret pact- the Torians and powerful Drengin empire forms an un-holy alliance against the Capitalistic North.

Thus the Galactic War of North and South begins....

A short AAR of my own then?
Humans had fast ships (+1 move). This allowed them to expand quickly and settle three wtar systems early on. They soon met the Yor to the east, the Altarians to the north, and the Scottlingas to the South. As soon as the humans had some technologies to sell (the Technologists held the power all the game, even later when in Federation), they sold it for tributes over a long time to Altarians and Scottlingas. Humans would often refer to Scottlingas as "cash cows". The Yor were always bankrupt, so it was hard to trade with them.
Altarians had expanded far, even into human sectors, so Human leader Moi decided to attack them and seize the stars in our sectors. Mankind also conquered two more sectors to the north and then made peace.

Meanwhile, the USS Hero travelled acorss the galaxy, finding scout ships and meeting aliens which all became small cash cows. The ship would later be able to destroy 4 dreadnoughts in one turn all by itself, without being reduced to less than 100 hit points.

The Yor were becoming quite strong, so Moi decided to wage an influence war against them. A cluster of 6 production starbases around or production capital, another cluster of 6 influence starbases, and the influence war went on well. Too well in fact. Soon, the Yor were all converted, but the Scottlingas too, which ment Moi had to trade with other minor civs, and the pitiful Torians in their lower western corner.
At a time, an accident occurred, as a human fanatic shot the Drengin leader. Drengins attacked humanity, but Moi had built dreadnoughts to protect himself just in case. The Drengins soon sued for peace, giving all their techs, credits and influence.
Moi then realized his cultural influence was huge, and he was going to have all the world culturally conquered in 2 years. The technologists were unhappy, as they wanted a science victory, so social and military funds were reduced to almost nothing, and research increased. That didn't work, however, as the rest of the galaxy surendered to Moi before we had time to go through the 4th dimension.

dont want to write anymore...
basically my butt got kicked... they had battleships already ... for 30 turns not a single starship of yor, alexians and mine were allowed to be finished.. every time a ship is finish it gets attack by a pack of drengin or torian. Luckily, there was a UP edict of freighters are immune from attacks... so for 30 turns my mil production was 0% social 50% tech 50%.
then there was this event... making the torians and drengin attack one another... damn WAS that cool
tons of ships being destroyed while i was just sitting there enjoying the fireworks.. needless to say after i kicked butt
