Another RetreatUE AAR

[Twigster]

The Empire is very friendly with the Tarapin...

[Twigster]

The Ortain fleet would often attack Panuxiel, but to no effect.

[Twigster]

Even so, it was not all a cakewalk.

[Twigster]

Condition of the Almanea 1 assault force after a year and a few more rebellions. Posted to demonstrate the rate of recovery of the troops as well as how long it was taking to subdue the population- again, a major factor was the degree of War Weariness.

[Twigster]

Drats! It also turns out that this was an example of foreshadowing...

[Twigster]

After a yer and a half of official war, War Weariness begins to ramp up.

[Twigster]

Researching for Gravitic Torpedoes; once I get the helium-powered reactors there will be major refits for all ships and bases, though much of the civilian economy will of course remain on hydrogen fuel. I decided to plow ahead with Virus research after realizing the degree of force I will be facing.

[Twigster]

Diplomacy.

[Twigster]

Along with the great expansion of the military came an explosion of admirals, captains and generals.

[Twigster]

Colonies.

[Twigster]

The growth of populations is proving to be more dynamic in this game than I usually see.

[Twigster]

The Tarapin...

[Twigster]

Um... [X(]

[Twigster]

The Empire used to rank #10 here.... still needs work- if I can afford it.

[Twigster]

State of the Almanea 1 assault force after a year and a half and a couple more revolts.

[Twigster]

The Empire-Tarapin love-fest continues.

[Twigster]

Almanea 1 two years on, and another revolt.

[Twigster]

Even with three agents on Counter-Intelligence mission someone destroys a gas mining station via Espionage.

[Twigster]

The Pirates are still active in this Old-era Start game.

[Twigster]

More fighting in the Panexiel system, but more importantly I can begin building helium-powered reactors now. This was a milestone I have been looking forward to.
