Just testing

You have dared to enter the lair of the most ferocious predators in the galaxy!

It is the ulitmate destiny of the Kzinti to conquer the other civilizations of the galaxy, subjugate and enslave any who may prove useful to us, and devour the rest. The Fanged God has ordained that this is how it will be.

In just 26 octals of days (7 months or so...Kzinti count in base 8), the Kzinti Empire rose from obscurity, to #1 on the Metaverse. With the blessings of the Fanged God, we have remained dominant for 100s more octals of days since that auspicious day.  We leapt past the other empires, and our mighty domain now encompasses over 32 million more light years than the second most powerful empire.  The most recent Galactic Map data shows that we have subjugated over 45% of the galaxy.  Many warriors from the old and dying empires have joined us, to avoid being eaten along with the rest.  We hunger to establish indefinite supremacy over all the inferior sentient species...

We have also been #1 on the AltMeta for over 3 years running. The Empire grows more powerful with each passing day as new conquests are won, and more warriors join us in our inevitable rise to rule the galaxy!

The Kzinti are a species of bipedal space-faring feline predators, who love nothing more than conquest and battle. Created by sci-fi writer Larry Niven, the Kzinti have had many stories written about them, most notably in the Man-Kzin Wars series of books. They have also shown up in the Star Trek universe, and a number of other realities.

"Kzinti flesh has a very strong and pungent taste. The weak among us are devoured by their litter-mates within a few moons of birthing. Only the swiftest and most ferocious of us survive to their first naming-day. Those not fit to survive will never live to perpetuate their inferior bloodlines. This is the natural law of the galaxy." - Kzinti Warrior

"The meaning of life is the hot blood of your prey on your tongue, the meat that rends beneath your teeth, the corpse of your enemy left in the sun for the carrion eaters to finish, your defeated foe groveling in submission before you. That is what life is. We are the Kzinti, and we stronger, swifter, wiser, and more ferocious than any other race ever was or will be." - Kzinti philosopher

If your claws can grasp it, then it is rightfully yours. - Kzinti proverb

A salute to all those heroic t'kzintar who have made this empire a resounding success. Our conquests continue and the galaxy will never know peace!

The thread ebbs and flows, as with everything. For me at least, yesterday I was away at a real-life gaming party with friends. Played some Carcassonne, Risk: Godstorm, and Wii. Now back to conquering galaxies! I've got a medium game almost done (50-60k), and a huge game (120-150k) about 20% done.

edit: Finished the mdium game, and started another large one, so I've got two nice ones going at the moment.

Also, missed your post before SB....you really couldnt think of anything? C'mon put some effort into it! You're not sick again are you?

Motti, any updates on the imminent a**-kicking of the AIs in your game?

Guess you dont have cats SB...they have 5 sharp and dangerous ends, and one soft one. I first heard that way of describing cats in Calvin & Hobbes.

A great welcome to our newest member, Issaacwith2as! May the Fanged God always grant you victory!

From the old & decaying empires, we have had nearly 30 warriors join us over the last few weeks, since we rose to galactic prominence. Wisely, they chose not to get eaten along with the rest...

We are steadily moving towards 12 million points, and are about a third of the way there now!

Actually an 11th of the way there now.

Technically correct, at least from how I said it before, hehe. What I meant was that we are at 11.3 million, so about 30% of the way between 11 & 12 million. You grammar-Nazi FB!

I finished up my latest large game, and got my best score for that size due to a couple lucky random events. One was an economic boom for the last three years, which pumped up my economy a lot. The other event happened when I was just 3 months away from completing the game. The last AI was down to one planet, which I had blanketed with spies, and then the event where they find a precursor device which increases the PQ of every uninhabitable planet by 7 happened! Their last planet was near the middle of the map, and I had set it on abundant planets, so I gained about 60 planets out of the event. I extended the game for another year to let the population on the new colonies build up, and it ended up increasing my score by about 17k, to a total of 103k. That's the first large-size map I've surpassed 100k on.

Anybody a fan of the Total War series of games? (Rome, Shogun, & Medieval) The newest installment, Empire: Total War should be out sometime this year. It looks freakin' fantastic from what I've seen so far! Cant wait to try out the real-time 3D naval combat.

Hey Cumberberg, did you get those Kzinti files I emailed you?

I'm sure that you could designate PlayJeff to pick up the slack, but he isnt nearly as creative.

Hey KP -- Thanks for the Kzinti files. Just finished up a long game, so looking forward to trying something new.

Mighty heroes, vengeful and enraged, hunt our new prey -- men, the weak foes, animals to cage!

Nice quote Be wary of those men that call themselves Diplomats though...for their words are as deadly as their orbital strike lasers!

I did notice your latest conquest yesterday. A new personal high score for you I see.    I just noticed you bumped it up to Obscene difficulty as well...excellent!

I've got a game on a huge map going where I hope to break my own record of 150k. I'm about 70% done with it, so I should complete it by the weekend.

Thanks KP! It was a tough win... and one that seemed to take forever. One of those where you claw your way inch by bloody inch over the hump and hit that point where you know you're going to win... but then it takes a really REALLY long time to storm every, single last backwater planet in the universe.

As for you, I don't know how you keep up the pace! You're posting these major wins all the freaking time. Do you ever sleep????

True true. I'm playing a game at obscene as well. It's outright painfull. I found my rush wasn't quite as good, and the AIs are very entrenched. If only every kryn planet had an OFM it would go so much quicker...

Anyway, I say stick to maso. Obscene isn't worth it IMO. For this game, I'd better get my highest score, but somehow I'm sure I won't. (probably because it'll take so long to play out)

That mopping-up part of the game really is the least interesting. Well, that and building the military starbase array...

How can I sleep when there is still tasty prey to hunt?

I've found that anything above Masochistic requires too much micro-management for it to be too much fun. Yeah, the OFM is nice because it cuts down on the tedium of killing all the defenders one by one. Some of the reasons I'm hoping for my highest score in my current game are that I got both the Mind Control Center and Spin Control Center quite early, which will pump up both my econ and mil scores. Also, I had an economic boom start in year 2, and with a couple handy re-loads of saved games, I've kept it going into year 6 so far. I think I'm making about 60-70k/week, and I try to keep my treasury below 20k, so that it will continue that way.
