LOL - Cardassians SUCK.
Posted: Thu Feb 19, 2009 8:17 am
Got bored and decided to play a new game of BotF with Cardassians. I only put it on Average difficulty since I find that Cardassians suck (normally I win easily on Hard with any other race.) Of course I can't get the corner (I never get the corner with Cardassians) but oh well. I sent a lone Transport ship early to take the Bandi, since I figure Cardassians are supposed to conquer. I can't be too fast with anything (since Cardassians are terminally broke) but I tried to manage as best I could.
Who do I meet first? Klingons. Of course. Then Romulans. At least the Romulans signed a treaty, Klingons wouldn't sign anything. They made a demand, first one I accepted reluctantly - had to scrap my only scout ship to pay for it (and endure a 1-turn credit deficit also) but it was worth it. Later, another demand, this time for 1580. I'm Cardassian - I'm freaking BROKE. I was getting close to making a fleet, so I figured I had time to refuse. MISTAKE! Maybe 10 turns later:
15 Klingon ships. I have ZERO fleet. I don't even have an outpost yet, I was just in the process of churning out transports and destroyers when the Klingons show up with 15 ships. How the hell can they make 15 warships on Average in 88 turns? Whatever.
So, I really don't care about Arcturus - it has 225 max pop but I just colonized it. Dulisian - same deal but smaller (140.) I can probably build an outpost on Deneb, since I'll have 2 transport ships there in 1 turn, but that might not even take out one ship from their fleet. Only Cardassia really has any production, I can churn out destroyers every 5 turns, or transports every 4 turns. Yeah, it's not looking too good. I might lose, on AVERAGE difficulty.
Man I hate Cardassians. (In this game.)
