Yes, we would have. The strategy was clear by necessity for a peaceful early phase. We anticipated that by the layout of the universe, assuming everybody would focus on developing their own arms first. Seeing how quickly the Fromage/Valkyries alliance jumped to the Voyager/Stranger arm both alarmed us and helped us. I alarmed us, since that proved us wrong, but saved us at the same time, since it essentially gave us a friendly border on one side.

Yes, appears we chose wrongly there. We had our ships lined up to attack you (we have both done lowest field research and so could field a fleet straight away), but then you offered peace literally 1 turn before we attacked you, so we headed south. Apparently, we chose wrongly... Did you see our fleet coming?

The late game was an interesting cat and mouse game. When our peace time ended, the Fromage/Valkyries had a far superior fleet, so we had to play carefully. They did advance early in my arm, but then the -f and lots of pop in orbit payed off. I really couldn't care much about losing a bunch of planets, while for them it hurt. We could simply sneak by their fleet in deep space and attack them in return, which forced them in the defense.
Cheers, Rolf.

Yeah, we had a nice big fleet but foolishly lost it in one stupid battle whilst it was unmerged. After that we were behind the whole time due to a lack of minerals, I guess our settings just weren't up to it. Also, we took far too long to finish off the other arms, and kept losing other minor fleets during "victories". Eventually, we were hoping you would eventually run out of minerals, but you never did, hence we packed it in.

I reckon if we'd not thrown that initial fleet away we could have given you a run for your money - we lost all the initiative then and we were just waiting for death, really.
