Why did the Lemmings grab so little space early on ?


Because my race was so weak: there was some sort of mix up with the file, so I ended up playing the original complete newbie version instead of the post-advice improved version. No doubt a better player could have made more of it, but I just couldn't get anywhere. Didn't have the pop for expansion, didn't have the economy for, well, anything. When the first MT appeared, 5000kt of minerals would have been a quarter of everything I had, literally. heh

For those interested:

1 in 2 habitable (sadly almost no decent greens)
10/10/10 G box checked Shocked
10/5/10 Crying or Very Sad
Weap expensive Embarassed (and bio), rest normal

So basically I knew the best I could hope for was grabbing a modest amount of territory and trying to hold it. Just didn't have the economy to keep expanding.

As for why I didn't attack you when I had the large(er) fleet assembled, I knew you'd be able to rebuild and come back at me, whereas any losses for me were crippling (particularly in terms of minerals - I had a bit of bad luck there as well as the poor economic settings), so I thought it'd be better to try and dig in and defend instead of losing half my fleet for a temporary victory. In retrospect I should have been more aggressive; wouldn't have made any difference in the end, but it would have been more fun.

Have to be honest and say I didn't enjoy the game much playing with that race, but it was fun to play with you guys. Maybe next time things'll be a little different. Twisted Evil
