ROB 22: The inaction

[Waterd]

2301: Builded 3 explorers
2302: Builded 3 explorers
2307: Vulcan colonized
2308: Builded 1 explorer - 15M sended to Vulcan
2314: Sol start producing Colony
2322: Colony produced and sended to Esper
2326: Esper colonized, 10M sol to Esper 23M Vulcan to Esper. Sol goes Colony and research prop.
2327: Sol start researching 4 range.
2333: Sol produced colony
2335: Esper Build 3 explorers
2336: Esper build 3 explorers
2337: Finished 4 range from being researched.
2341: Start reseaching planetology.
2342: Toranor colonized. After choosing barren, I start knowing my options in tech by spending 5 RP in SOL while building COLONY.
2343: Colony produced sended to centauri
2350: Centauri Colonized. Meets alkari. Trade pact to 75. Alkaris have EXACTLY 1 planet. NAP Signed. (Lazy mistake here)
2359: Kakata taken. (At this point i'm using vulcan mainly and some part of toranor to populate planers, i have vulcan eco to max) Sol is producing colonies and the rest of the planets are building a productive infrastructure.
2360: Altar gets Rich event.
2362: Guradas colonized (I use 1 year later than the one showed on the "on X year planet Y has been colonized" I use the year that i see in the race panel after the year has been colonized)
2363: Sakkras vox get Quake event. ESper start researching barren.
2367: Barren completed. Research on factory 9
2370: Esper start building colony
2371: Toranor start building Colony
2376: Incendius taken, Sol start producing factories.
2377: Industrial 9 finished. Dunubius taken.
2380: Esper start researching 80% industrial waste.
2383: Rha taken, Meet sakra. 150 trade, Nap signed. They have 2 planets.
2384: Tau cygani taken.
2385: Stalaz taken, 80% Industrial waste finished. Improved eco restoration started.
2387: Stopped producing colonies through the empire. Sol, esper, Toranor centaur, full research.
2388: Kakata joined the research production.
2389: Guradas join the research
2390: Finished Improved eco restoration, started +20 terra.
2392: Sol start producing Colony B
2393: Finsihed +20 Started +30(I never got why they removed the 100% option after you finished reserach, I used it a lot and woudl still use it.)
2394: Kronos
2398: Centauri got depleted event
2400: Maloor taken.
2401: Laan taken.
2404: +30 finished Dead environment taken.
2409: Volantis taken, Darloks contacted NAP and 350 Trade.Dead environemtn finished. Mass production of Colony dead started. Soil enrichment started.
2410: Alkari breaks nap
2413: Research comes again.
2414: Everybody threatens me to stop my expansion i convince darkloks that alkaris should be attacked.
2416: Finished soil enrichment, STarted researchign computerse wtih the hope of hitting a robotic factory improvement
2417: ECM 1 finished.
2418: Aquilae colonized.
2419: Rotal colonized.
2420: Romulas colonized ECM2 finished, no robotic control improved space scanner. Start researching propulsion so I can colonize more planets so the council comes and I can finish this.
2421: Range 5 finished, Pycho colonized.
2423: Intertial stabilizer finished. I colonize one planet. Council comes, I vote Myself and win.

Conclusion: This didn't differ much of my human play. Still this was even more lame. I didn't build a single base or a laser in all the game, I never got to war. The AI did nothing. The only reason I didn't win before Is that I shoulda rush dead environment.
While this was an unusual uneventfull game. Most my games on impossible don't differ much from this. Is very common from humans to win the game without ever building a single weapon, and that's why I rank them as the best Race.

If you still have the save, could you post what your last tech scores were? And if you could - figure out your tech scores for 2400?

Sorry you though it was lame.

[Waterd]

Sorry I thought i had the save, but somehow i do not, But i took 3 screenshots from the game in the last years. The tech tree is taken the year I win.





In my report I taked note of every research i completed.

After the year 2400 I did ECM1 , range 5 intertial stabilizer, terra +30 , soil enrichment and dead environment. So we should rest that from the screenshot.
I didn't give much attention to technology, clearly. So there isn't much sense to calculate my score, it was obviusly super low.

Winning with the Humans on hard with a UR close and plenty of room for expansion was not difficult. The idea of the Imperia is to compare how different people approach the task and how differently the AI react. Score is sometimes included and here gives you the option of advancing tech or finishing early. Some will play for score, others will set their own targets. Some of the reports are informative, others are very creative and fun to read.

Setting a common target for a mixed group of players is probably never going to have the hardest challenge but the variants keep you thinking of how to approach the task.

[Edit] Seeing your screenshots, congrats on winning while going no further than rich Volantis using +30 and Soil. The Humans have such good options we usually avoid them but I think the idea here was to use someone with good tech ability to counteract the variant tech restriction. However the expansion was probably too easy here and most went for that rather than concentrating on advancing tech.

Well, I'm sorry this wound up so close to your regular games as Humans; one of the things I love about Orion is the possibility of maturing several different types of technology simultaneously, so this was a serious change of pace for me, and most intriguing! I didn't realize at the time I suggested it to you that it was so similar to your normal playstyle. Thanks for reporting nevertheless; it should be interesting to see what you do with Imperium 23!

(Just one small request for future Imperia: Please avoid posting any kind of advance spoilers - even just generalizations about how your own game went - for any Imperium games; the gold standard is to say nothing more about your game than "game complete" and/or "report complete" until closing day. It's true that people go a little ways beyond this all the time, and that's all right as long as it encourages others to play (if you think they'll enjoy it) and you don't give any in-game knowledge away....)

Thanks for giving this one a try anyway; I look forward to comparing games in the future, since it sounds like we have very different styles of play!
