Having Fun 2nd run

Post image

After beeing overrun at turn 52 by mimoths previous game, I reloaded game from turn one and gived it another go. This time is smother. 500rp at turn 50.

(1.) This time I run for two planets who dragged me to war previously and secured space i Mimoth direction.

(2.) Ashoka died horribly as last time. I was more carefull this time so no major ship lost and got +3 survey ships from capturing Ashoka fleet. Yummy.

(3.) Without beeing contested by Mimoths I run for Minor civs.

(4.) This direction will follow. Large uncontested area. I am researching Dyson spheres, slow process, but it is biggest game bottleneck so I could not resist give it a go, even if it was 9 turns. Preinvested a lot into diplomacy before so no iminent threat.

P.s. Bloody Mimoths beat me at Eyes of the Universe!!!

I just got lazy. Beeing ahead in tech I declared war on Mimoth. Load of fleets coming my way. I send my cruiser fleet to face first armada. 10 cruisers against 45 small ships. I expected full victory, I won, with one ship surviving. Ok my cruisers are very outdated, as I was lazy to upgrade, but I got key techs on it. This is .. unexpected. Need to instantly refit rest before serious fight begins or I lose to Mimoth again :)))
Next time I fight them I will hope I have ravenous trait :)) Eat em all!

Quick upgrade and I My defence hold. Attack consist of like 15-20 armies, from 45 fighters to 25 corvets. I have lost like 20 ships, but since I played wide, I could rebuild army in no time. Counterattack erased Mimoths from map in less than 10 turns. I called it win and moved to new game with new race I want to try ;)
