Hi Everyone,
I started a game with ruthlessferengi today, vanilla, t5 large irregular. ruthlessferengi took Federation while I took the Klingon Empire.
New multi installer rc2 1024 with hob patch
we played on Gameranger since Warzone is inactive currently
ruthlessferengi window 10 fullscreen DxWnd
I was on windows 7 windowed DxWnd
looks like we are down to the final battle, so will report more tomorrow also. will also try to get some screenshots of battle
I started out a little slow, by colonizing 6 systems and making friends with the Vulcans and Ullians for some trade income. It did not take long before I was running out of credits. And while exploring I first came across the Ferengi, So I immediately declared war on them to stop free trade. So they started building their fleet as we went to war. I had several small battle with them until I started occupying most of there system around turn 70 I had them down to 3 system (home world and 1 original starting system and a weak colony) all of the system assaults had weakened my fleet. I lost 2 full squads of Kvorts, but still had 2 full squads left. so went for final push to eliminate their empire. It did not go well and lost 12 of my 18 kvorts. I was worried that ruthlessferengi would see his opportunity to finish me off since we had just meet and I had not seen his fleet or where he was located.
So I left what little I had left of my Kvorts at Ferenginar and built a starbase while I start my rebuild. I was in much better shape with the occupied systems and could support many new ships. after building a small brel fleet to explore I started back into Kvort and TT production. By this point the Romulans and Cardassians had found me and every one declared war on me. (I suspect the feds offered/accepted some war pacts) while searching for my next victims my small brel fleet had some bad luck with neutrons stars and endless wormholes. But I did locate the general area of Romulans and took my Kvorts down south. I guess ruthlessferengi was keeping the cards at bay since I saw only one of their ships at this point.
Romulans only had a few systems (6 or 7) so I started my assault. I did very well until I assaulted Romulus, but only lost 7 Kvorts of my 40 some odd Kvorts. and I was at the final romulan system with low population so I just bombarded it and killed all life. my last scout spotted a federation starbase 2 sectors away so I cloaked and went to destroy it (just to say hi to ruthlessferengi) I guess ruthlessferengi had the same idea since on the same turn he landed on the dead romulan system I just wiped out with his entire fleet and destroyed all my TT's and last scout ship. I was very close to upgrading my Kvorts so I re-assigned everything I could to research and got them to upgrade the next turn. now we have a good battle tomorrow.
being on Game ranger we had several crashes mostly ntdll errors but was always able to continue.
can't wait for our final battle tomorrow.
