To complement OH's report. We are kind of in a weird place with this game. As a result of our early dogpile, this has been a constant struggle including:
1. Attack OT4E without a true military / decisive force
2. Commit for a Astro beeline despite a major need for economic snowball (e.g. Civil Service)
3. Spam Astro-cities to grab as much as land as possible without economy/worker force/military to back it up
So far all of the above has been kind of successful and I feel that mack and TBS have not totally snowballed away of us. On the other hand, all the suboptimal stuff included in the above also means that we can’t say that we would have truly catched up either. (Not sure if that would have even been possible)
So what follows next is probably another risky military campaign. I guess the basic idea is that by staying put we are certain to lose and we rather keep making moves and try to give us at least some sort of an opportunity to make ground until everything falls to pieces..
