I think I permanently ruined my relationship with my brother this morning

I’m 6 days into a new game. My nearest neighbour quit on day 4 after I sneakily attacked them when they told me yellow was attacking their other flank. Yellow and I are fighting over the scraps. Tech trade alliance with dark blue. This is great.

Blue and I are still working up the tech tree together from opposite ends of the galaxy. Blue teamed up with orange on green, who subsequently quit. Orange poses no threat to anyone but is hanging on in there. Purple hoovered up the remnants of pink and is way too strong and is advancing on me and yellow. Trying to forge an alliance with yellow and blue against purple before me and yellow wear each other down and purple hoovers up those scraps as well.

This is great. The human element is a really cool twist to the basic mechanics.

Our game is quickly descending into chaos :smiley:

Would be interested to play this with strangers, I think I get too stressed getting into beeves with people I like

I’ve never played a game with complete strangers before, can only imagine the extra layer of suspicion and subterfuge! :smiley:

100%. The basics are good but you literally can’t win without playing the diplomatic game and screwing a few people over on the way!

I am now in mutually incompatible alliances with 3 of my 4 remaining opponents. Opponent 4 is a non-entity…

I have betrayed everyone in my current game. Down to 3 of us now.

Right, think I’ve run out of ways to be even remotely annoying in this game now, GG

GG @SpessMareen!

I never really caught up after my hugely protracted rout of @Twinkletoes - whoever was feeding him Weapons tech, well played. :sweat_smile:

Glad to have achieved my aim of at least messing up your plan!

Think I received tech from everyone else :grinning:

On a victory lap in my other game. Got yellow and blue to over-commit against purple, bringing down both blue and purple. Quietly amassed a force to pounce on yellow’s understaffed key stars. All three of them bowed out over a few days. Now just orange pissing around on the other side of the map while I mop up enough AI-controlled stars to take home the victory.

I feel free! That got super intense at points, too intense.

…Why do I want to start a new game?

I’ve got got literally no idea what any of this thread is about but I’ve kept up to date with it and strangely enjoyed it

I wanted to do a running commentary sorta like what @colossalhorse did for his Stellaris playthrough (I think it was him?) but realised I couldn’t do that without giving away what I was up to. A spectator mode would be cool although open to abuse I guess.

My highlight was probably @anon67149139 going all out right off the bat, attacking every single person at every opportunity while the rest of us were still being super cautious. He didn’t last long, but what a way to go.

Also enjoyed @Twinkletoes keeping up the good fight against @cutthelights for a very long time, and @pabswikk going out in a blaze of glory with his Party Ship cruising through the galaxy messing mine and @SpessMareen’s shit up.

Just realised this took up the past month of our lives, to the day. Bloody hell

I did a bit but @Parsefone did more than I did. I did the XCOM 2 War Diaries.

Also I’ve no idea how I missed this thread until now. What the fuck.
