Even though I have been extremely busy, survived the holidays and the rigors of just plain life as you can see I have kept at this. With huge games like this when lots of stuff starts happening it slows down a lot. In future I will be as regular with updates as events allow.

Status: offline 		To play these types of games optimally requires quite the investment, that's for sure. 'Ashamed' is the wrong word to use here, HH.

There will be a comprehensive Concordat update (the official name has now been changed to Zenox Hegemony)at the end of this next segment but it will primarily introduce the rest of the Galaxy.

Ah, come on! I wish you would take the plunge all the same. Take your time with it. I love the game as well as your mod.

Anyway, big post tomorrow.

Status: offline 		This is my current research infrastructure. I am less concerned about paying for excess capacity than I am worried about losing even more in more numerous, distributed and less well-defended facilities. Though it has yet to happen in the current game, I have lost LSPs in combat.

Status: offline 		Gizureans of the Alpha Kassieda Junction Collective (AKJC) enforcing a blockade of the Concordat capital. Note that the Devastator Moon is on-line and in Vrilja orbit- the question now is, what to do with it? In the mini-map, the Concordat is dark blue, the AKJC is yellow. The light blue is a Wekkarus constructor of the Cludar Confederation coming in for some ill-timed refueling.

That is the administrative overview after a couple of years since I last posted- all of the other comparisons remain basically unchanged since then. Note- for RP reasons I did not want to resort to the Way of Darkness government type, but it was basically forced on me by economic and military necessity. If I was trying to survive in this setting with double my current maintenance costs, more than twice the War Weariness and half of the colony income…?

BTW, game settings: Custom game as standard empire, 1400 star, Huge, Spiral, 15 x 15, Old start, Chaos/Extreme, Research is Very Expensive at 999K, no space creatures, Normal Pirates (distant) with Normal Strength (no respawn), Normal colony prevalence, Normal Independent & Alien Life, Colony Influence Range is 102%, Enforcing Colonization Limits of 2.0 sectors, Zenox, starting government was Technocracy for some forty years, Excellent home system, Old, starting Tech level: 7, Corruption: Normal, 44 other starting empires; Shadows story events, Tech Trading and Giant Kaltors at start disabled, Race-specific victory conditions enabled.

And now, gentle readers, sit back and relax as we take a brief tour of what the rest of the Galaxy holds in store…

Status: offline 		Here we see a large fight at a Gizurean (AKJC) gas mining station. The Shakturi Supremacy is a Protectorate of the AKJC (undoubtedly a holdover from when the Shakturi were the Erutkah and in need of protection); this is very bad news for The Home Team as the AKJC is by far and away the strongest Glactic power. Note to self: send fleet here to assist in the destruction of this enemy base. Minimap colors: pink (Shakturi), light green (Ackdarian), yellow (Securans), dark grey (Ancient Guardians.

Have paid them once to get Trade Sanctions to go away but since the Devastator Moon arrived at Vrilja they slapped on Trade Sanctions and I have left well enough alone after that. We'll see...

I have given them an entire fleet to fight off the Naxx, even denied them by treaty once. They keep coming back. Have not fought them yet; frequently give them money and other diplo- goodies.
