probably a mod. or maybe a typo. anyway, i had a 12 hour game on twin empires as vasari. about 8 hours in, i had about 10 planets, and another vasari (my ally) had about 25 (i like to turtle). also, the last surviving AI, as advent, had about 1500 fleet supply at one planet on my border. my fleet supply was maxed, and i sent everything i had against the advent, who, after losing half their fleet, retreated, and i gave chase with half my fleet. we ended up in a gravity well with most o

Now, I want you to remember that no bastard ever won a war by dying for his country. He won it by making the other poor dumb bastard die for his country. Men, all this stuff you've heard about America not wanting to fight, wanting to stay out of the war, is a lot of horse dung. Americans, traditionally, love to fight. All real Americans love the sting of battle. <

Ronald Reagan and speaking of great movie speeches: "My name is Maximus Decimus Meridius, Commander of the Armies of the North, General of the Felix Legions, loyal servant to the true emperor, Marcus Aurelius, father to a murdered son, husband to a murdered wife, and i will have my vengeance - in this life or the next."

no, actually i believe that the advent story was my idea, seeing as how i came up with it three years ago!! seriously, why does it matter who came up with it first? although i have not read either of them (yet), i am sure they will both be very good. besides, having multiple stories allows us to combine the best of both and create one uber-good story

i think that supply ships make a lot of sense, both logically and as a game mechanic. if you were in command of a deep strike mission, wouldnt you bring resupply ships along with you? its also probably a lot easier to create. i have absolutely no modding experience, so you can take my opinion with a grain of salt, but it seems to me that it would be a lot simpler to take Tkins' idea than create a entirely new culture-like thing. however, it would work better if the resupply ship were a separa
