2121 is turned.

H0bbes · December 19, 2001, 18:41

As is 2122.

vitamin j · January 13, 2002, 23:43

It's been a while... We're up to 2137. I'm digging in vs the Uni, trying to work a border push... For some reason, they're destroying the Borehole Cluster, which only lies partially in my territory. The laser units and probes are already knocking, and I'm still in early development. It is definitely nice to be the Hive in this situation! I predict University destruction, conservatively, by 2200... Of course, Roze will probably have transcended by then.

H0bbes · January 15, 2002, 04:42

Whatever turn it was, was turned! My only contact has been with the consciousness. Last turn they stole my synthmetal rover.

Edit: I have twice recived the following message & hence cannot send the turn:

Guess you need a new email address.

vitamin j · January 16, 2002, 01:01

I've mailed you an alternate, here it is again: vitaminj31@hotmail.com
Hopefully, my icrazy address will get straightened out again. Let me know if you get the message I sent from there...

H0bbes · January 17, 2002, 01:00

I haven't received any messages or turns from you from any address.

H0bbes · January 17, 2002, 17:16

2140 2 you via hotmail.

vitamin j · January 18, 2002, 11:16

Valiant Hive Defense Forces continue to hold off 10 times their number at a strategic border crossing. Hordes of University artillery can't break the resolve of Chairman Yangs freedom fighters. But with inferior technology, how long can the Hive last?

2140 to Hobbes

H0bbes · January 18, 2002, 18:50

Turned.

vitamin j · January 19, 2002, 14:02

2141 to Hobbes.

First sighting of enemy impact units...

H0bbes · January 19, 2002, 22:53

Turned without loss for once. Damn those consciousness probes!

H0bbes · January 20, 2002, 16:31

Onwards again.

H0bbes · January 21, 2002, 16:22

2144 onwards.

Flubber · January 21, 2002, 17:32

hey gents

Is this one of the "thunderdome" games ?-- I took on thunderdome I as a replacement for Deimos in the 2160s (Spartans). I must say that so far it seems a good challenge and hopefully one of these years I'll be able to do something other than trade blow for blow with hordes of AI LOL

A voice carried across an interdimensional rift to a mirror planet
" Send help !!"
Unfortunately the call went unanswered.

vitamin j · January 21, 2002, 22:09

Hey Flubber, you got it... I'm hanging in there. My bases haven't come under direct assault yet, but it's only a matter of time. I do have some room for expansion, and I'm filling it as fast as I can, but it's slow going. Probe teams are my only hope to catch up tech-wise... I think Roze having infiltration on everyone from the start is going to be the real kicker...

2144 to Hobbes.

Having fun down there, mate? Remember, fundamentalism is your friend!

Flubber · January 22, 2002, 01:28

I am making headway as I have not lost a unit for a couple of turns through carefully rotating them away but the AI is sending hordes-- . We're a lot of years ahead (2180 now) but I'll be curious to see how it works out for you both. Its good to play a tweaked AI that just isn't a patsy for whichever human finds them first.

vitamin j · January 25, 2002, 00:37

I've been nerve stapling left and right... The worms are striking back!

Turnd.

H0bbes · January 25, 2002, 02:40

Turned.

vitamin j · January 25, 2002, 19:22

Back at ya.

H0bbes · January 28, 2002, 18:41

Half century turned to you.

H0bbes · January 29, 2002, 17:42

2151 2 U.

vitamin j · January 30, 2002, 13:22

Recent tech acquisitions have greatly improved the Hives capability...

'51 to Hobbes

H0bbes · January 30, 2002, 18:23

2152 is on its way.

vitamin j · January 30, 2002, 21:09

'52 to the furry tiger.

H0bbes · January 30, 2002, 21:52

In your hands once more.

H0bbes · February 3, 2002, 17:53

Turned once more.

vitamin j · February 25, 2002, 13:00

Hive eradicates University. Zakharov escapes.

2175? to Hobbes.

Flubber · February 25, 2002, 15:23

hey guys

Qantaga and I are in the 2240s on our version of this challenge and the AI is looking killer. The consciousness is long dead, the uni is just hanging on and the aliens are more painful annoyances than real threats . . . But the angels are massive. They are snapping up ALL the SPs and have at least 5 armour. Since they have twice my pop, the HSA and a massive tech lead, the future does not look too bright at all. I have not given up hope though

.

H0bbes · February 25, 2002, 18:25

2176 is turned. Congrats on your victory against Zak. I'm in the midst of battle- aliens everywhere; but I have yet to take a single city.

(In fact, I only know where one consciousness city is!)

vitamin j · February 25, 2002, 21:07

Don't tell anyone I said so, but I think you've got the harder task, Hobbes. The Spartans are tough, but to me they're slow starters. Yang just rolls right along with PS/Planned... And the Uni is much easier to probe than the Cyborgs.

I'm doing alright, but I've stolen so much tech it looks to be another 30 turns before my next breakthrough. But I've got the aliens in my crosshairs now...
