This is unbelievable... the MT must have brought very good tech to their favourite races... A nubian with ARMs at this points is likely to bring us a quick end I suppose?

Confused

Maybe next game should be without MTs if it should be slow tech again...

Hey ... that MT carried Langston Shell and not tech.

Most of MT-s have passed your territory. MT does no wonders. I believe that Bukane simply researched nubians. No surprize here if he has over 80K resources econ down there. He had big corner to boot with. You started in lot more tight conditions. Nod

No mysteries involved story of how Bukane grew:
nravergz did fight (if that can be called fighting) Atar and Respospolita.
Atar did fight no one. I bombed flat one of his colonies to get better access to Purple and he did not blink his eyes.
Purple and Muppet did fight Plasmatic and me mostly.
Bukane took what he wanted and grew. Smile

"MT":

The Elastance were correct: just the first MT was tech. Many races met this trader. The second was Langston Shell - hardly worth the minerals.

"Big corner to boot with":

Yes. After challanging any Quartez/Foodfight claims east of their HW's agressively, we had a 60-planet corner in 2430 or so! But that's only slightly above average. If 13th player would manage to hold 24 planets, there would be 56 left per alliance.

We stonewalled the "gang of races in the north", and that paid off handsomely. Basically, noone bothered us while we slashed our way west. We spend energy hiding our progress, letting enemy fleets wander in the open unhindered for example, trying to hop from planet to planet, using overcloakers, having nRavergz fly my ships, and sending a long message to the board claiming that Early was the frontline while it was way more west already. As said before the start of the game, information was to play an important role in this Winter's Tale!

I'm sorry if I am not too friendly here, but: either you other players saw it coming but did not act, in which case we all deserve our position fully. Or they did not see it coming in the first place, in which case we deserve it fully too. Smile

Now... what are the victory conditions? A certain number of planets for example? Good question for Robert, or for some democracy maybe.

Nubians Schmoobians just send them North I can use the tech. As for victory conditions it may be wise to repost them. For now looks like we all get lots of Blood. It's always nice to see a well maintained steam roller

Just some mysteries with your geography !

nRavergz have never fought the Rzecz. They have only recently attacked Atar planets and ships.
Rzecz and Atar started on, and in from, the bottom SW corner.

Bukane and nRavergz initial expansion was purely against the Quartez (PP HP race ?), and also the Foodfight who allied with Quartez. Maybe this fooled you into thinking the Quartez were further West than the Atar.

Quote:

Atar did fight no one. I bombed flat one of his colonies to get better access to Purple and he did not blink his eyes.

Well yes. That is true. But what was I supposed to "blink" at you with ? I had 6 planets and Weap 9 tech and it was a far flung colony nowhere near my main area. When I attacked later on, you flattened me.
Surprised that no-one accused me of sneakily transferring minerals to you by fighting !
I saw no sense in fighting you really. Was hoping you'd feel the same way.
I had 4 (or 6 early on) other races to worry about and was mainly trying to survive from the Foodfight.

And here is the another part of the reason that Bukane grew.
If you had fought Apple and Zerg you may have had more success and also left Muppets and Purple to fight Bukane.
I'm not saying this in an accusatory fashion.
I'm just saying "IF".

I think the Bukane have done very well.
Good choice of ally, good race design and played well.

Yakayakayaka.

Oh yes, and no sorries here, but i can try to explan. Here in center i got to fight with anyone who did bother. Very Happy
First ... i was dodging multiple attacks from Vincible. I did take cluster clearly too close to him... but that cluster was best in the universe and made quarter of my economy so nothing to do.
Then i had some time to aid clean up some of Plasmatic territory, where Purple and Muppet had intersettled with him.
Zerg and Apple attacked (it was actually their second attack) with lot of jihad cruisers (i have rarely seen more). I won but most of my ally fleet was destroyed.
Purple did come with his cloaked Colloidal BB-s and even you, donated minerals with your mark 4 cruisers.

It was all very fun, Purple and Muppet were most interesting, i did not manage to concentrate on someone seriously enough and what you guys expect anyway from poor SS. Very Happy
