Manored: dang, didnt get any

CXZman: bah, that last on only has 1 crystite

CXZman: oooh, THAT is luck :)

Manored: yeah

Manored: except the amount of time I have had that plot for... =)

Manored: Been thinking of assaying it to be sure for a while but never had time

Neit: ...

Manored: curse thee, pirates

CXZman: fgs... didn't they supressed those twice a game events ?

Manored: maybe they did, but luck is luck

Manored: unless you mean supress as in forbid from happening

Manored: thanks to me the store has food... perhaps not such a good idea =)

CXZman: since that was one of my worst english sentences of all time, yeah, let me say i meant "forbid from happening"

CXZman: (wasn't a good idea, no)

CXZman: (:p)

Manored: though so

Manored: This game I tried to monopolize food, something like it

Manored: but like I though, it didnt work out

Neit: héhé

Neit: thank me

Neit: :p

CXZman: produce too much i think

Manored: ya =)

CXZman: prices didn't went that high

Round 9 of 12

Manored: My plan was to take a lot of river plots and waste then with energy

Manored: to force food prices up by having little offer

CXZman: that to forget plains are good for food also

Manored: yeah but not so good

CXZman: put two plots side by side and chec it out, food for a whole game

Manored: not so easy, specially on start

Manored: off course, that strategy wasnt for the whole game =)

Manored: just for start

Manored: later there is just too much plots

CXZman: ...

Manored: happens

CXZman: i just couldn't win :)

CXZman: twice also :)

Manored: yeah you are too far behind, I think

CXZman: no i mean, with those events, just can't fight smith

Manored: smith?

CXZman: smithore

Manored: ah

Manored: yeah

Manored: fires, 2 alien raiders...

CXZman: quakes are good news for smithore, these force everyone NOT to sell smithore, therefor raising smithore price

Manored: I was thnking it was because it slows down ore production while must waste keeps the same

Manored: no wait, that doesnt makes sense, does it? =)

Round 10 of 12

Manored: ah, it does

Manored: dam

CXZman: if it makes any sense, didn't get it :)

Manored: yeah

Manored: in reality, it makes no sense

Manored: just unraveld it

Manored: nevermind =)

CXZman: glad I didn't understand what you cannot understand

Manored: yeah, understaind it would be troublesome

CXZman: arg

CXZman: "The same player event (scrolling text) can not happen twice."

CXZman: player is that key word I missed

Manored: haha =)

Manored: ah, well, it would be kinda lame if you knew an important event like raiders cant happen again I suppose

CXZman: ys and no

Manored: ah, well, would prevent extreme bad luck

CXZman: but if you check on forum discussions about "why the hell smithore reward THAT much player who invest in it ?"

CXZman: you'l discover that helping a bit more crystite (or kicking smithore down

Manored: ah, well, its the nature of the game

CXZman: would be nice

Manored: food and energy are no good to invest at other than basic needs

Manored: only things left are ore and crys

Manored: so ore is awesome on beggining and so so good on end

Manored: crys is somewhat constant

CXZman: I saw some games properly driven so nrg got to a crazy price

CXZman: but like a lot of situations, you hve to bet on your opponents mistakes

Manored: ah, yes, this is a very tricky game

CXZman: wich is most of the time a BAD idea :)

Manored: its not just your competence that matters, but also your knowledge of others and your ability to handle the unespected

CXZman: that game, we underestimated nrg productio, ata very late game stage

Round 11 of 12

CXZman: what happened is that one of the player played lst AND noticed everyone was firing of nrg production... maybe on #9 or so

CXZman: he built LOT of nrg

CXZman: and bang

CXZman: 240$ /unit

Manored: nrg is ore right? =)

CXZman: mmmh it usualy is crystite to me :)

Manored: ah

Manored: thats weird, as far as I know crystite prices are randow

CXZman: there are

CXZman: between 50 and 150

Manored: haha

Manored: epic run

CXZman: epic wtf is he doing also :)

Manored: ya

Manored: I was hoping that spot down there hard more crystite

CXZman: should have remembered those assays

Manored: hard to remember

CXZman: as a minesweeper player, i particulary love analyzing and betting on good crystite prices :)

Manored: I love ripping off people for food or energy

CXZman: hehe

Round 12 of 12

Manored: lol

Manored: I had another 3 space

Manored: gotta array more

CXZman: badass production up there o_o

Manored: yeah

Manored: somehow crystite can be produced even in terrain without it

CXZman: yep

Manored: didnt know that =)

CXZman: 53 /round

Manored: haha

CXZman: good rate

Manored: game doesnt wants you to win, it seens

CXZman: do it doesn't

CXZman: I've once or twice jumped from 3rd to 1st rank only on crystite power

CXZman: can't work anytime

Game Over

Saving score, please wait...

Manored: yeah

Score saved

Manored: dang

Neit: gg

Manored: im last like always =)

Manored: gg

CXZman: gg zuzek

zuzek: finally, i managed to win a game :)

CXZman: don't bet that much on food and all

Manored: yeah, I suppose so

CXZman: good start on that

Manored: but having 2 river plots next to each other is awesome =)

zuzek: yesterday i lost in the last round!!

CXZman: but no event kicked you up

Manored: food for you and selling

CXZman: too much food, that is

CXZman: if too much food is produce, price don't get that high

CXZman: even if it's only you

Manored: yeah, but it ensures you will have food

zuzek: the same is with everything

Manored: and if nobody else does the same, you can sell for a decent price to others

Manored: but that should be all the food you make

Manored: 3 river plots as a waste, two would have been fine I think

CXZman: smithore is a "less" needed good

CXZman: most of the players WILL build nrg and food just for themself

zuzek: but smithore is important to produce mules

Manored: yeah

zuzek: no smithore = no mules

Manored: one of the toughest parts of the game is start

CXZman: yep, but only player x2 smith ore is needed

Manored: if you start on ores you may be ripped off

Manored: if you start on food/energy you may fall behind

CXZman: you always rpoduce tons of it, you just wait the rght moment to sell

zuzek: just like i did ;)

CXZman: i don't think start is the worst

CXZman: yeah

CXZman: nice work :)

zuzek: thnx

Manored: ah, later game is more stressing, but start defines quite a lot

CXZman: i really get crazy at the end, where there's nothing to buy, no plots left

Manored: yeah, you have to maximize what you have

CXZman: with the "how can I get 5000 points out of my shit to kick my opponent wh'os 1st ?" problem

zuzek: yes, it might be difficult close to the end

Manored: that involves managing food and energy over rounds and trading mules really fast

zuzek: if you can't change your production

Manored: sometimes I get lost and end up doing epic runs like that 3 diagonals =)

CXZman: start really aims at rushing on plots that interst you and surviving

Manored: just too much to do

zuzek: ok, thanks for the game

CXZman: ++

zuzek: bye all

Manored: yeah, this was fun

Manored: bye
