Thanks for the "second place, and "Best and Fairest"", much appreciated gents, and well done to the Speck/Dark Angel/Q-Tip alliance. Appreciation also to the Etherials, Lemmings and Pioneers for sticking it out until the end.
A few quick observations to get the discussion going..
I knew how week the Etherials were (9 planets, etc) and I knew they were allied to everyone - the few occasions that I was involved in 3 way battles gave that away, as did the fact that the Darks gave them a planet. Also, If I were the Etherials I wouldn't have make enemies !
As I said to the etherials early on - I could wipe them out very easily (3 or 4 turns should do it since he was AR), but what would I have gained ? 9 planets with no mines or factories, most of which were low value for me ! The only reason I was giving planets to the Etherials was so that when the game got going he would have an alternative to attacking me ! I feared a surprise stab, especially when he positioned scouts on all of my planets - but in the end I figured that it was best that he knew how strong I was as a deterrent, even if he was giving the info to other players (there were already SS races after all). I knew where his home world was and could easily have taken out the mineral fountain.
I didn't know the Speck position - I suspected (feared) they were at least neutral with the Darks, but that was all I knew. As they were HE and the Darks narrow hab, they were natural allies.
With the Legion and the Wobloids I stood a fair chance (even against the Speck/Dark Angel/Q-Tip alliance) however the main reason the game was lost for me once they dropped out was that ALL of my techs were expensive ! I don't think I actually researched anything during the game - I got all my tech by trade. Without allies, this would have killed me in the long run. I knew the Legion and the Wobloids were not strong, but they occupied the Alliance, and they gave me tech ! I also hoped to get Tachyon scanners.
The main questions I have are
Why did the Pioneers attack me ?
Why did the Lemmings grab so little space early on ?
Good game all, shame it ended so soon.
My race password was "aardvark" if anyone is interested in seeing my position/race design in more detail. I never use the same race twice !
