Match report: Dissy vs Chris
Dissy took Cards, leaving me with Feds. Victory goes to Dissy.
I started in the bottom left corner, pretty secluded. I knew my only chance was to build infrastructure, reasearch, affilliate as many minors ready for the 'pop', conquer an AI and aim for the 'end game' before meeting Cards.
It didn't start too well, meeting just 3 minors, but I affiliated them anyway to wait for them to 'pop'. I then met Ferg by turn 30, with the intention of conquering them.
However, my plan was soon put to rest when I realised Cards had already met them and had already taken Ferenginar. At this point, I knew I was defeated, because I had no chance of matching Card production of Destroyers in early game.
However, I thought I would give it a go and see what would happen. Turns out it was a waste and was only delaying the inevitable for 30 turns, with my expensive but low numbered 9CC2s against a horde of Card Destroyer 2s.
Hindsight is wonderful, from this game I know a Fed vs Card match-up was probably not the best idea. Fed start with DD2, whereas card starts with DD1. This gives card a massive credit advantage from being able to build DD1s every turn then upgrading. I was stuck with 8 turn/5k command ships as the Fed dd2 was not worth the price/build time.
A poor performance from me, but a stellar one by Dissy.
Good game Dissy, you deserve to win and receive the title of champion.

Thanks RF, but no recognition for me as the finalist is needed. We all fought good battles, yourself in particular, and it was a pleasure to play such people.ruthlessferengi wrote: i do think there should be special recognition for the finalist, chris fought a good battle.
Zayd: The tournament is over, but keep an eye out, I'm sure there will be more.
