I fear the year end came upon me before I knew it. Didn't accomplish much this time around...

Just watched 13:2. Nice cliffhanger.

Edit: Mod Question: Are Keskudons designed with Exterminate as a key strategy? It offers +10% growth - is that growth of the Keskudon population only (a small portion of the total on conquered colonies) or is it calculated on a broader base?

Hi guys, my current plan is to do it on Wednesday, time is still up in the air, I can do it most times no problem. I am guessing doing it late for me to make our largest audience west of me have a better chance of seeing is best.
I am currently thinking I will do it at 12 am for me, which will be 8 pm EST.

The other reason I wanted to do it as a stream was I wanted people to be back seat commanders, tell me what you want me to do, I'll be open to suggestions

Will it be a twitch stream and be saved, should we manage to miss the live show?

Absolutely no problem! We've anticipated this would happen here and there, so no worries.

Indeed it is tempting, and ambitious, but the idea of having Torak-boosted Keskudon or even Boskaran troops is almost a superweapon. Maybe overkill, but no true Keskudon would look askance at that. I was quite surprised to see how few ground units are being fielded by the Keskudon Galactic Empire. They are very cheap to operate and very strong even without enhancements or experience, so make invasions easier and KGE occupation hard to dislodge. Don't know the temperament of the Boskarans, but enough KGE troops landed should be very hard to dislodge, and maybe the Boskarans could be offered some additional incentives for a quick peace leaving the Temple of Torak in Imperial hands, since they are not a natural adversary yet.

The last few episodes have tarnished the bright shiny certainties of the restoration of the Galactic Empire, but our confidence in ultimate victory remains unshaken after the repulse of repeated coordinate assaults by Humans and Tairoshans in rebellion against Keskudon supremacy.

I was surprised to so few ground units in the list. Being cheap and powerful, there should be many. Taking territory on the ground is a great strength, an asymmetric advantage that should be used. Enough ground power can seize a planet even without space superiority.

The adverse correlation of forces combined with the KGE's central position suggests that hyper-capable monitors might be useful for both offense and defense against stations and orbitals. Giving up almost all normal speed in exchange for firepower and defense so they soak up a lot of enemy attention before dying, they are essentially a relocatable defensive base which can deployed out to the periphery as needed for offense or defense against fixed positions. Fighters and missiles would be logical equipment for "reach."

Also, knocking out Tairoshan mining and support sites is definitely a good idea as the are generally pacific and anything that puts pressure to end that war is to the good (or should I say to the evil?).

It's easier to post comments on here instead of youtube.

I'm not sure about invading the fortress of Torak, but I agree with what you said about needing better weapons. Rail guns have their uses, but as you know they also have the lowest range in the game, and a targeting penalty. So they are especially bad against those fighters, and any standoff ship. You have the means to get better weapons somewhat quickly, too! Maybe consider three things:

1.Diverting more research into weapons, by retrofitting your space port.

2. Using your intelligence agent with the espionage bonus to steal from the Napoar. They are Quite Stupid, which means your missions are more likely to succeed. They are also a Technocracy, so despite their low intelligence score they are strong with research. They are also very passive, so if they catch you it won't lead to war. The perfect target.

3. If you build just a few more ships with boarding pods, you can quickly catch up in tech by stealing ships and disassembling them. Better yet, put some on your spaceport, because it is getting a beating. This way you'll be able to at least catch one ship that comes in to attack...you could capture something great, like a capital ship or carrier.

Can't wait for the next episode. Things are getting crazy.

I do a bit of adjusting on this, but I fear with automation settings, this may just get overridden by the AI...

Hmmm... Yes, this might have been good. Didn't happen in my year though...

Nice! A carrier or two would be handy. Again, outside my year for that...
