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

[Kirov]

 

[roninscg]

no atack 


I had to change the strategy

[Kirov]

I'm too old for this hsit.

[roninscg]

I think you win as I've already told you,
and that's just because I have a problem to get IA .

I just do not understand how I manage to follow you on power graph?

[Kirov]

You are indeed doing very well and I expect you to be a formidable enemy. And my Morgan slowed down his expansion a bit, expecting your imminent attack which looms just around the corner, doesn't it.

Consider this a warm-up, we'll have more fun on a balanced, CMN-ed map.

Don't forget to attach your turn!

[roninscg]

 

Give me the secret of IA or I will attack you with my mighty army   

[Kirov]

You're ahead in tech. I'm selling IA for your Doctrine:Initiative.

[roninscg]

 

You're ahead in tech. I'm selling IA for your Doctrine:Initiative.

then i must attack you

[Kirov]

Ok, ok! I:A for your NLM?

[Kirov]

I forgot to mention - the HGP is poised for completion for the Cyborgs.

[roninscg]

I do not own NLM 

[Kirov]

So what do you have that I don't? I've figured it has to be NLM.

And how did we let the AI fare so well? This game is full of surprises.

[roninscg]

I sent you an offer in the game, for IA, 3 doktrins for IA

[roninscg]

I can honestly say, You are in great advantage now, As I told you, I have a very big problem with science, 

It is literally luck in question, ie you're lucky

[Kirov]

OK, maybe we can discuss the game now, there's no fun in frustration.

I'd rather say that you're unlucky than I'm lucky. I had my share of ridiculously bad luck (got many unwanted techs before IA), but I was bound to get IA faster than you as I have 2 techie factions running Free Market since the day I discovered it. By looking at your proposal (which I have yet to think about), I see that you too have unnecessary techs and yes, that's bad luck. But there is one thing which depends on you - why don't you run FM with your Zak? I understand that you don't get the stuff you wanted, but frankly, against two FM-running energy-based factions, you're doing exceptionally great anyway. All things equal, you shouldn't be able to catch up, definitely not without FM. I'd say you should have only half my techs by now.

I can disclose that my Morgan has just lost another colony pod to a mind worm (and the pod was protected by a scout, which also died), so I have only 4 bases with the guy. Really the only saving grace for me is that Jungle (which I have yet to benefit from) and that IA edge, which grants me crawlers and possibly some Projects. But it's all the more reason to fear invasion, so I keep investing in the army for your attack which fails to materialize.

I'd say that I have paid for the IA advantage, especially due to the Free Market, which is pain in the ass in the early game. That's how I lost 2 colony pods and that's how I can't even kill worms for money. Early FM is a very costly business and I switched it to it solely to get those crawlers out in the field and hope for Projects. I accepted to watch mind worms raping my units specifically to have IA before you.

My suggestion: let's keep going and I strongly encourage you to switch to FM (only with Zak). We'll see how many early Projects I get and we'll soon decide whether the continued game is worth it or not. There's no point in a frustrated play, however we must make sure that we do everything we can do get that IA. I mean FM, priority choices and tech sharing between your factions.


I'm eager to know - what's your side of the story?
