Lol probably true.

but i escaped about 5 times before and then told him that the war was overbut eventually i ran out of fuel so i had to kill him.

Ok so I went to delt gorno and talked with tanarka but he wouldnt listen so i blasted him but now Katana isnt showing up.

I see I have been defeated. I guess i spent to long harvesting resources. Can someone  give a goodplan of action indicating roughly howlong to mine for and then when to start exploring. Thakyou.

I always get into games very slowly and on this ocassion i think it proved fatal. It is now Nov 7 2159 and the Ur'Quam fleet has moved around the map systematically wiping out all other civilistion i am assuming that i did not complete some objective quickly enough and must therefore restart. Please tell me if i am right.
