Default Re: The forum has slowed down

I'm one of the "veterans" here - started with Space Empires back on SE2, got up to officer rank; but I haven't posted much the Last couple weeks because work has been absolutely overwhelming lately. I finally have a couple hours to spare, so I'm skimming for interesting threads.

BTW - the AI is kicking my butt right now. I went with a cluster quadrant, hard AI & medium bonus, hand-picked the AI races & made sure they'd spent a full 5000 racial points, and ended up one system away from the Ukra-Tal on one side and one system away from the Xi'Chung on the other side. With no colonizable/breathable worlds in "my" systems (other than the 3 homeworlds, of course). It's been rough; the Ukra-Tal actually managed to glass one of my homeworlds. I finally re-colonized and have been (barely) keeping it defended with minefields. But I haven't been able to expand into other systems very much. I did manage to depopulate a Xi'Chung homeworld - one hit from a plague bomb ship, wait a few turns, and bye-bye alien scum. I also invaded a few of the Xi'Chung worlds, but they got glassed a few turns later. Oh well, aliens killing their own people is OK with me.

Enough rambling... time to get back to work.
