Observations:
The Vikings and I have going at it since early in the game. That is causing problems for both of us as we lose ships and divert resources to our war machines. In addition, the Vikings have blown me off of a couple of planets. Most annoying....
The Romii are in trouble because they have a black hole with a damaging warp point two systems from home. They are now sending a lovely stream of ships into the netherworld via the black hole.
The Pyrochette are in a very strong position, isolated from the other races that are mostly trying to rip each other's hearts out. I suspect that they will do very well in this game. They usually show pretty well, anyway, and with this position, they should dominate.
The Aquilaeians' strange reversal diplomatically with the Vaxin was interesting, but AI politics usually is a little unstable.
Re: EEEvil Empire has arrived...and brought friends :)
. I have ended my test game, btw. There was not much happening anymore, since most of the AI had maxed out their research. I declare Vaxin the winner. Orks 2nd. Vikings 3rd. Cephalopeia 4th. Aquilaeian 5th. Minbari 6th (note to the designer: they had a good economic base, but didn't build enough ships). EEEvil 7th (part of it being bad luck, part of it building DN without sensors)
