"There Can Be Only Two" ex Civil War Kirov VS Roninscg

[roninscg]

i see you 


just kidding 

[roninscg]

as I said, you chose a very good combination

[Kirov]

This is not funny, I'm scared!

[Kirov]

as I said, you chose a very good combination

Well, it's the best science guy and the second best builder (after Domai) vs. two very good science guys. I was thinking about Deedee, but thought she was too weak against your unholy alliance.

Seems we're afraid of each other about at the same level, although if your Hive meets any of my factions, I'm going down the drain.

Cheer up, both of us!

[roninscg]

Believe it or not, I already started an offensive, ie a war with one fraction, not one of yours, generally I'm used to a quick game, while I think you prefer builders slowly game,



when we not play against each other, we could exchange experiences, tips ...

[Kirov]

Nah, I wouldn't consider myself a builder, I think a mixed approach is the way to go. There's only so much that you can achieve in the pre-navy or pre-air era.

I'm not above some skirmishes with 4-1-2, but a conflict when you have only 2-3 bases missed the entire point of SMAC, in my opinion. Strategy requires some infrastructure.

And if you like quickies, why not Sparta? I would obviously scale down my faction choice to keep the balance.

Can't complain about the tech rate, but hell can I complain about the techs I get.

[roninscg]

Can't complain about the tech rate, but hell can I complain about the techs I get.

I figured out how it works in the previous game, randomized and first go with all the doctrines of the mark 1(c1,b1,d1,e1), and of course starts with priority given,

it means that if you have two of the science ready(C2,D2) needed for some science (B3) he will not surely study it, regardless of the fact that it was set as a priority science with B letter. first go with all mark 1 and next mark 2....

[Kirov]

That can be a good intuition, but I couldn't even get to my priority discipline in many, many years. Oh well, our poor poor Kirov.

I told you I m fast

[Kirov]

Yeah, you're sure fast, although it spells very clearly on the board of your ship: "SLOW". So the highest chance is that you spawned on an island small enough to grant you a foil at the beginning. Are you OK there?

Also, I needed to save the turn in order to discuss the further course of action. Are we at war automatically or do we, you know, talk? Because right now the best move at my disposal is to attack your unit. Do you want to negotiate its safe return onboard?

[roninscg]

It was just a joke, for now if you wana we have trust, you agree?
