Game 5: Epic Fail

Shock! Horror! A loss!

This time up the difficulty and map size.
Settings:
  • Advent
  • Hard
  • 1 v 1
  • Medium map
  • Pirates on
I diverted from my usual script and only expaned to one other colony before putting the pressure on. Unfortunately I had no siege early on and wasted time doing near-zero damage against a small colony. The AI used the time to expand in the other direction, build a fleet and strike my fleet just as he/she/it bribed the pirates.

With no fleet, pirates on the way and 3-4 colonies behind I resigned.

Lessons learned:
  • If rushing early, bring siege to take out the colonies.
  • Build up a better economic base if the war is going to be protracted.
I'll get the bugger next time!
