Neptune still Prideful

Cliff still terrible of pulling together post titles.

So, I realized today that I’m in serious fucking trouble…more so than yesterday. See, the map scrolls. I sort of forgot about that. So, there is another player NORTH of the Purple player who I had completely forgotten about. These 2 screenies will lay out the entire situation.

In a word, fuck.

Also, I can’t help but notice that Orange, the one who ‘felt my pain’ is expanding straight at me. There is no other possible target in the direction in which he’s moving. Fuck you, Orange. Fuck you.

Forget going after Purple…it’s pointless. I would simply end up just as sandwiched as I already am. Dark Blue and then Green are my targets now. However, I’m going to have limited initial fleets, because I need a serious picket line against Orange. I’m also going to go all in for duplicity…time to establish contact with Yellow and convince him that Orange has said that he’s next, and is trying to strong arm me in to going along with him in an alliance. BWAHAHA!

My investment in Weapons tech is starting to pay off, as I’ve gained a level in firepower. My investment in Industry was obviously a smart move, since I need ship…more, more, more.

The two stars in my Southwest are worthless, but I need to take them to make it harder for Orange to make an incursion. So I’m massing fleets and moving in there.

In the North, my fleet is now shifting to go Northwest, aside from

In the South, I’m stuck from further advancement until I beef up my range. I’ve sent a level of Weapons tech to Red in the South, and he’s sending me Range. My own research is all about guns and speed.

I’m still pouring my cash in to investing in Industry and Economy. I need ships now, Science later.

Anyway, not looking good at the moment. Goddamn Neptune.
