Around the orbit of Kzinhome, the greatest gathering ever of Kzinti warriors has been summoned by the Patriarch. As the various warlords arrive from the farthest reaches of the Empire, many among them initially mistake the orbiting structure for a small moon. Even the battle-sharpened senses of the t’kzintar have difficulty registering the globe-shaped structure as an immense starship, because of its sheer enormity. Many of them feel a flutter of trepidatio

[quote]From the HCH Empire thread... We do not know of any Kzin who has joined the Tyranny Mottikhan, but we acknowledge your effort at creative advertising. What??? <IMG id=ImageResize_Image_66 src="http://images.stardock.com/smiles/Gasp.gif" onload=ImageResizer.createOn(this
[quote]I also see two Diplomats and even a Kzin, among others.[/quote] We do not know of any Kzin who has joined the Tyranny Mottikhan, but we acknowledge your effort at creative advertising. ;) But the Kzinti Empire does currently contain 23 members who were previously in 13 other empires. They have wisely chosen to aid us in our quest for galactic dominance, rather than be eaten along with the rest... We seem to merely be talking amongst ourselves though...we should
[quote] Didnt read the dune-books. But i saw dune in the TV. #1 Dunecat #2 Hellcat #3 ...? how about pinkpanther!? [/quote] If you like to read sci-fi, definitely give Dune a try GiantMelon. Maybe a proper Kzinti name for your third character? Kzinti naming conventions are rather unusual. Du
[quote]Hi! Team D seems to be falling apart. IMO I know what's going on: Sentient species taste better... Please don't put me in team D. I don't want to be eaten [/quote] Damn...the jig is up! ;) That large pile of bones must have been a give-away. I'll have to talk to my Kzinti about cleaning up after dinner. <img src="
[quote]The Kzinti are not peaceful, Sethpenguin, they only allow others to live in brief respite. Count your blessings that they have not devoured you yet. [/quote] Well said, Fights-With-Words. That SethPenguin must have been smoking some bad zheerekti again! ;) It gives their people a strange taste, which is why we have not eaten all of them yet. If your people can embrace the way of conquest SethPenguin then the Kiznti will gladly welcome you as allies, but we are not sure you hav
[quote]Who will rise up and seize it? [/quote] [color="#FFFF00"]The Kzinti have already seized it firmly in our jaws! We take little pleasure in wasting time in monkey-chatter, but instead relentlessly battle the foes of the Empire. Our rise has been swift and stealthy as befits a t'kzintar. So the power of the Kzinti grows with each day. In just 1 octal of days our Empire will have spread to cover 6,000,000 light-years (points) of this galaxy. What is a great Conquest H
I would defintley support the idea of a draft after this round. There's been a large number of new people, and a significant number of existing players who have left or been no-shows. My Team D in particular has at this point, potentially lost all 4 of the people we originally started with, so that is an important consideration for me. As for non-submission, Team D has 3 games submitted so far, and PlayJeff has 4 games submitted to the MV that fit the criteria for the round. I coul
We have two new members today. Welcome to FlameArrows and GiantMelon...may you become mighty Conquest Heroes! :D Nice pic for your new character GiantMelon. ;) I'm a big fan of the Dune series....the original books at least. The new books by Brian Herbert arent nearly as good. Have you read those as well? I've read the original six books many times over though. That is my favorite sci-fi series of all time. <A href="http://www.mypicshare.com/vqrpalptpic.html" target=_blan
That is sad to hear Shadow...your avid enthusiasm for the MVL was infectious. Hope you come back at some point. Yikes....well, Team D seems to be falling apart. PlayJeff and thebutterfly are both MIA, and Shadow is gone. All of the team-mates we started last round with are gone. RexDaddy and GalenEvil, please show up at the core at some point and look at our team forum. We havent seen you there, and last round, working as a team was our greatest asset. Maybe a draf
I always specialize every planet I have right from the beginning. If you read any of the strategy threads, this seems to be the overwhelming consensus of the optimal way to build. I handle early game invasions, but not letting them happen to begin with. Dont let the transports make it to your world. I never fight a multiple front war, and almost always start a war on my terms and my time. Keep the galaxy in political chaos by inciting wars between your opponents. This will sow dise
Anyone seen/heard from PlayJeff recently? I see he hasn't logged on for over 2 weeks. He's one of my Team D members who is currently AWOL. Motti, please stop submitting games. I had surpassed you in the rankings for just one day til you leapt ahead again. It's annoying. ;) <FONT color=#ff
I haven't found that finishing a game quickly enhances the score much at all. In fact, what I have been doing lately is extending the length of my games to increase the score. What is more important, is establishing your dominance of the galaxy as quickly as possible, rather than actually finishing the game quickly. I almost always go for military victory, as the scoring for any other type pales in comparison. I turn off all other victory types, and also turn off surrenders so that I can end
I always play a custom races, because I love fiddling around with the bonuses and such. Usually they are taken from various sci-fi I have read, and while playing I always have a continuous sub-text running in my mind of the unfolding story of what they are experiencing and thinking in the GalCiv universe. For me it adds another dimension to the game that makes it seem much richer and complex. For opponents, I usually have a mix of custom civs and premade ones. Some I've made turned out to be
We have two new warriors joining us today...Big Blue XXXVII, and Facecrusher. Welcome to the Kzinti Empire! :) Hey Cumberberg, did you check out any of the books I mentioned before? Admittedly, none of them are very recent, but I dont read as much as I used to. I spend more time playing games than I do reading now. I noticed you posted another victory for the Empire yesterday. :CONGRAT: <IMG id=ImageResize
The influence drop and then re-calc is definitely a significant aggravation. The only mitigating action I take is to have a constructor ready on reload to build another influence base to force a 1 turn recalc, but there is still that 1-turn lag...annoying! Sentient species tast
Hi Warlock Lord...please also welcome the latest warrior to join the Kinti, Space Chopper! :) Word has just come in from the frontier, and our heroic t'kzintar have won a truly glorious victory, expanding the dominance of the Kzinti Empire 150,000 light-years (points). This is a magnificant conquest that will be sung about in the halls of Kzin-kind for years to come. The Patriarch decrees this a day of celebration throughout the Empire. Let us slaughter numberless food animals, feast
The AI will rarely offer what seems like a favorable trade, at least from your perspective. The tech trading was really nerfed from DL to DA. It used to be a lot easier, and I do think the change is good, but I think they went a little too far in the other direction. Sentient
Welcome to our newest members, Warlock_Lord and Peter Peccavi. :) Fight your battles courageously, relentlessy, and subjugate the enemy without mercy! Our brave t'kzintar continue to andvance on those space-whales the Orcas, and Kzinti claws grip the planets of many more systems in this galaxy. Only the greatest warriors can earn the title of Conquest Hero, through unrelenting battle and many great victories over our foes. Who will be the next to rise up and claim this title? <b
Hey Chrizzle, good to hear from you, and welcome to our official thread. :D You've arrived just in time to witness the acquisition of the mighty MottiKhan...although we need to change his name to something properly Kzinti. Hrrrrrr... :d Sentient species taste better... </
Apparently your mental dysfunction has confused you Motti. I believe you agreed to join the Kzinti immediately! Excellent to hear you will finally be joining us...will send out the invitation right away. We will teach you to devour your enemies and subjugate the few survivors in the correct Kzinti way. Do you prefer Torian or Iconian flesh to feast upon? ;) <img src="http://www.mypicshare.com/thumbs/20070803/vqrpal
[quote]Well and honorably said, KzintiPatriarch! It's nice to know that we're on the same wavelength here. I'd like to know more of your thoughts on this. Please keep us informed as to when you can bring your fellow empire-mates over. We'll welcome them with open arms! I'll start a Kzinti Forum at the TOE and install you as a Moderator right now... <IMG id=ImageResize_Image_31 src="http://images.stardock.com/smiles/Congrats.gif" onload=ImageResizer.createOn(this); align=absMi
[quote]LOL, i was thinking more along the lines of the Kzinti being annexed by the ToE [/quote] Hehe, of course you were. We are three times the size of the Tyranny, Fights-With-Words, and growing more quickly. It is amusing monkey-logic to think that the smaller predator could devour the larger... We assume this is a failed attempt at
