Hegemony

[Grim_]

Dusty is the best player ever in this game.

 

EDIT:oooh, i'm taking history + geography GCSE's btw, also bloody hell Archi - your job is boring! :L

 

 

Hmmm...Dusty won 1 game, out of 1 game...That is not really a conclusive result...It could be a fluke...

 

Yup, it is.

No he didn't, I was still just as strong as him. You just decided to end it.

You were just as strong, at the time.

 

However, it would likely take around 50 years until I found your last little system, and by that time it would've been like a mouse vs optimus prime.

 

I had like a billion times your population, around 10,000x the production capacity, and we were really only on par in strength because I had lost a lot of ships and troops taking over Malaysia and the last little vestiges of resistance.

Well if the war had raged on for much longer I would have just crashed ships into your planets (I believe I had some in the midgard system for quite some time). Also the daedalus cannons were fun :twisted:

Joseph Stalin looked like Borat when he was younger.

 

OT: Does anyone remember my Borat signature?

 

Do show

EDIT - The 8 top posters today all participate in hegemony. This forum would be dead without us!! :P

It's always like that, we are the driving force of the forum, compared to our sup-forum(?) we are freaking NO₂.

EDIT: We are a bit spread out now, though we have ten out of twenty spots there! The top three are (in order), Archimage_A, TheMather1, Lady_Ninane. :thumbsup:

Hi Paul. :P

 

Technically, I was there first.

 

Argentina promotes the individuality of the Baltics and allows them to form their own government to rule.

[Bier]

I can't really complain :P Anyways for those who want an aid mission pick a number between 1&100 (The aid mission is 2 trillion dollars)

Tsk Tsk. Back when I was running Dungeoneering we reguarly had 50% of the overal posts per day! Forget NO₂...we were OsO₄ 4 times concentrated!

Erm, I don't see how it would be possible to have ships 'hidden' in the heart of my empire.

 

And the daedalus cannons only worked because Arch decided that my dirithanium plating (which was there to counter exactly what daedalus cannons did), didn't exist.

More likely no one told me.....Or rather, told me afterwards...or had a nice generic 'It counters everything'

 

Anywho, Grim's Stealth Strategy probably involved the sterlisation of Midgard so no one noticed, followed by the ships landing on the Capitol building and ordering takeout.

[The_Mather1]

Hehe, Deadalus canons, Deadalus class ships were the last I developed, and they had beam weapons that used EM-fields to pull matter apart... like black energy. Though I guess it is not they you are talking about.

 

Also Archi, why don't you GM dungeoneering anymore? It'd be nice to have a variety of mods that allow for a variety of different styles of challenges.

[archimage_a]

Cause Ross kicked me out <_< (jk)

Nah, Ross basically took over because I couldn't do it full time and I didn't like spliting the workload(You would come back the next day and everything would be different, and things you set up were ignored or turned out differently.)

 

Now the game has moved on far too much for me to takeover again...at least not without reading a few hundred pages :rolleyes:

Well, there was no real way you could possibly have 10,000x the production capacity without cheating, based on the game mechanic we had. Or even 10x, since I had a larger one than you at the time and was putting more of my resources into increasing the number or production stations. In the end, I could have always just piled my entire population into city-ships and gone away at twice the max speed of most of your ships (due to being improved by Duna, and since your strategy was to build a ton of little ships, instead of a smaller # of big ones, only a tiny tiny percentage could be equipped with Duna thrusters.

Hence why I ended the game... The production system was screwed.

Course it was highlighted...then everyone decided that the system was fine, it was just Archi being upstart about it. [/i Told You So]

 

Anyway, the issue with the strategy, Doom, is that retreating into the great unknown would eventually cause you to run out of fuel...and unless you wanted to Munchkin a Duna planet out of thin air...Dusty would have been able to outfit his fleet with Duna Thrusters, eventually, and then catch you, eventually, eventually.

 

Just so people know, there is going to be a much stricter...and a hell of alot leaner....spaceship mechanic...

[The_Mather1]

Archi, would you mind calculating my next IAG now? I'm going to my cabin for the next 4/5 days (last unsure due to it being the May 17th (if unsure about why that matters just check on wikipedia)), and I'd like to know my IAG before dividing it.

[archimage_a]

Well it won't be more than 60 billion higher than as on the front page, so just factor that approximately.

 

Assuming that you are celebrating Norwegian Constitution Day... We don't have a Constitution Day...We have Empire Day :twisted:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norwegian_Constitution_Day

[The_Mather1]

Wait, you know I have been spending 1.75 trillion dollars on an aid mission in India and that the majority has voted that infrastructure should be added before calculating IAG?

[archimage_a]

Yeah, it doesn't make a massive amount of difference. 2% of 2 trillion is 60 billion...

[The_Mather1]

Wasn't the amount added to infra the used cash on it divided by total IAG, and twice that for aid?

Anyways I calculated it for myself, I should have 2.(<note the dot there)393,352,038,752,703,102,955,180,244,019,7 Infra and 6,011,928,000,000 IAG, or 2.4 infra and 6,028,627,200,000 IAG.

 

Also Icu's infra should be 9 and his IAG 2,333,360,454,543 or 2,333,361,000,000.

[archimage_a]

Hence why you are not allowed to do your own calculations...

 

Anyway. 1.75 trillion is 70% of your budget, so your infrastructure would increase to 2.4 (From 1 by 1.4)

Thus your IAG would increase to 2,572,214,272,000 (from 2,511,928,000,000, increasey 2.4%)

So a difference of 61 Billion.

I'm surprised that "Empire Day" hasn't been banned for political incorrectness yet.

[archimage_a]

Actually the changed it to Commonwealth Day, but still

[The_Mather1]

Isn't IAG, starting IAG * infrastructure?

Well, the Duna was a one time thing to improve the thrusters, a constant supply of fuel wasn't needed. But if I had left and had a 5 year headstart, I could have been a 1000 ly away in any direction, and be completely unfindable.

No.

Yup....Until Dusty researches a Duna tracker...or just builds a bazzilion ships and sends them all out on different vectors, creating a sphere of death-err-Dusty, even.

[The_Mather1]

Ok...

 

Anyways I'm leaving now.

He would need more mass in ships, than all the planets under his control to build enough ships to find someone with a 1000 ly lead. Even if he did have Duna tracker, he couldn't catch up.
