@wfmcgillicuddy took a well-deserved victory in our match. I put up a good fight and spent a fortune on warp gates to set up various attacks, but he was on the offensive throughout most of the game.
I won that one. @Tanktress saw earlier than me that the map had a very distinct strong side, and immediately sent a large force to secure those stars and attack my weak side. Meanwhile I got to the core sooner, and tried to to attack her side, but to no avail. @Tanktress finished the early game with a 20 star lead on me! Still trying to figure it how that happened! I managed to keep a weps lead, which helped me gain a ship count lead, which I expanded. Was able to reinforce my weak side and turn the tide. @Tanktress is a fierce competitor. Phewwww!
Im waiting in map 21-100-23 Neptune's Pride with settings:
These maps have one-off settings identical from @Trucriot 's Tournament 1v1 LLL 2021 OCT :
turn wait = 48 hr, jump = 6 ticks, 64 stars, NR = Standard, random WG = common , WG = cheap, HW = far , starting 1 stars, 20 ECON & 20 IND & 4 SCI, 100 ships, W4.
If anybodys interested
@Tanktress is a worthy adversary, for sure. I’m a bit surprised she bested you, but not… too surprised. I’m looking forward to my first crack at her in 1v1 play, whenever that may be.
Granted, I never thoroughly investigated the matter, I just took Tankress as the name and preference for playing pink presents. But oh my dear Growlar, what has become of you?
Greetings! I’ve made a few maps for this thread. Please check them out and, as @Trucriot notes in the first post, please only join one game at a time to leave options for other players.
