Very interesting - especially that 20PQ class planet full of industrial centers.

When I saw that first map, I thought "Holy cow - the four races actually started in the four corners! If that had been my game, I would have started against one side, squished in by all three of the others." Then I read far enough to realize it was a custom map. Oh, well.

I'd go after the Arceans next - those smug bastards. Does the first strike super ability apply both when attacking and defending? If so, and both sides have it, does the first strike cancel out or does it go to one side or the other?

I do believe they are next. Hopefully we'll get the continuation of the story soon. Very good so far. The live updates are a nice touch. Keep it up.

Great read so far Frogboy  .

I noticed that you mentioned governments during the last up date, i've lost a couple of elections during beta 2b when I never have during Dread Lords. Has something been altered? Also i'm able to try to start a war or change government an infinite times on the same turn perhaps it should be altered to just once per turn.

Wow, very entertaining read. It's also nice to know how you guys go about finding bugs and develop the game. Hope you do another soon, and keep up the good work.

Oh..and you guys complete me.

Very enjoyable indeed.   Makes me want to fire up the game to see what perils await. In fact I'm off to do that now.

according to this map Neala isn't really a 20 class planet... it has only 10 green tiles and one yellow tile...

seems like the Dread Lords are very advanced and quite scary to fight against, just look at the battle ratio 292 vs 5 on Dread lord vs Galactic Republic...

so from Jan 1, 2226 to Aug 22, 2237, it took 11 years and 7 months for the Galactic Republic to conquer the whole galaxy... sounds fair for a huge galaxy with 4 civs +1 Dread Lords, I think...

Nalar is the class 20 planet, not Neala.

That wasn't the whole galaxy, just a small part the major civilizations aren't worrying about.
