The Imperium has sundered! And surrendered too! The Empire is freed from the tyranny of the military! On this glorious turn 72 (or so), the forces of Geo deemed the fight to be hopeless, and welcomed the assistance of Frobboz Electric troops to revolt against themselves. In a short but enthusiastic speech, CEO Flathead of the Corporation has declared this day to be "a major victory against military powers, and the triumph of economy".
Well, the Last twenty turns have been a lot of fighting, with my forward fleets unexpectedly running into too many defending warships. He was pushed out of a few systems, though he managed to capture several of my state-of-the-art Dreadnoughts. I had expected my first wave to do a bit better than that, and so radically altered my plans. It meant changing the name of the vessels, and increasing the strength of all fleets by twofold (had you expected me to actually have a good idea for my military?).
I reached Dreadnoughts, Shield Depleters and APB before turn 50, and so had a sizeable force to throw at Geo for the second wave (a few hundreds of Dreadnoughts when he surrendered). These fleets did a much better job, glassing one of his homeworlds, and destroying most of the fleet that was guarding it. More dreadnoughts were on the way, but Geo did not fancy fighting them, as it looks like most of his own warships had been destroyed (or damaged) during previous battles.
Alas, his surrender has prevented me from showing off a bit; neither my Ringworld nor my Star Destroyers were able to demonstrate their abilities before the surrender. (Five basic hulls for a SD retroseries were already built, and two of them nearing the front, with six "direct" vessels in production) A shame truly.
Where was I? Oh, it has been a good game, and I shall thank Geo for having let me settle our old score.
Thanks to Fyron for the very nice map as well; don't you love these bigger maps?
